Im running these tyres in a 205/17/40 on my honda integra. They are a tyre at the cheap end of the market, and for a daily driver, they are perfect. As for the outright grip ect of the tyre, when new they tend to be a half decent tyre in all conditions, but nothing special. Though as they wear they tend to get real shitty compared to how they griped new. If i were to compare the tyre to something i know thats decent, like a michilin pilot, which obviously costs more, they dont stand a chance. Grip and sidewall construction differences can be felt by a much softer steering repsonse (my car used to feel like a go cart with the pilots) and slower cornering speed. I usually get about a years use out of a full set of these tyres, which equates to about 30,000 clicks. But as far as dollar for tyre value goes, they are great, but if you wanted a real perofmance tyre u got to spend the money.
