I have them. I replaced my rears for Nitto DR's but still have the fronts. I had them for a good year of daily driving and burn outs here and there. No joke, they look completely new as far as thread life. I can take a picture of them if you want. But since they last long, the compound isn't sticky. They don't grip very well. In fact, every time I take a turn (I'm talking 2 degree turn on the steering wheel) I hear the tires.
Don't get me wrong, good tires for street use.

yea i was told they are alot better for their tread life compared to their grip.. i may have to change out the rears for something with a little more grip because i have 4.10 gears and i'm having a pretty hard time hooking up... the grip on turns isn't awesome but they are alot better than the sumitomo HTR Z's that i had on there... those tires were crap!
