Well, now that I have about 5K miles on these tires I must say that I am just as pleased with them as the day I bought them. Do these tires race like ultra low profile pirelli's? Of course not at 185R, but they have brought a new level of predictability and performance to my almost 2 ton Volvo Wagon. Unfortunately we've foregone the white stuff this winter so no reports thus far, but with plenty of rain only once did I manage to lock it up (non-ABS car) and slide coming to a stop at a red light, and this was about 5 minutes after it had just started raining, the car was loaded to the gills, and I should have started stopping sooner. The tires are quiet, give better gas mileage (although alignment was performed), and understeer much less than the previous set I had.
