Ok second day 100 mile update:I know only 100 miles, but I gotta throw this out.

Boy was I getting pissed off!! I had this god awful vibration and a little noise coming from my tires when I pulled out of my driveway and onto the road. It lasted about 2 to 3 miles and thank god went away. I know all about flat spots, but over night? I was warned by a lot of reviewers on this. Anyways after I got my shoes warmed up I did about 50 or so miles of easy driving and I couldn't even hear them and absolutely no vibration. I then tried my 10 mile personal track(back country roads). Lots of twisties hills and suprises (just ask schnellman (If he had the stones to try it ). It was darn close to a frickin roller coaster as you can get. I almost went airborn a couple times. Damn that was a cool feeling!!

I am very impressed. These tires are sticky!! I am at least doubling every curve sign. I did notice a little roll but they are still really young so I will give them time. It might even be that I am not used to them yet. Braking was excellent and I seriously tried to do a controlled rear end slide around one corner. No dice. It was like I was on rails.

Two thumbs up so far, but we are only in the first inning on these puppies!! More to come later.

Side note: I wouldn't endorse a product if I wasn't sold on it. I have the stones to take them back and get something better. Even if I had to pay more!! So if they suck, I will eat crow and tell you they suck.
