Your experiences are consistent with Car & Driver/Tirerack testing. Once I run the tread off these it will be time to go shopping.

one note with the RE-01R: it's nearly impossible to mount the narrower width tires on the Coats brand machines. it's best to find a shop with Hunter or Corghi machines (with the wheel that runs around the tire). my 265's weren't too bad to mount, but the 225's locked up the machine. i had to take them to Butler tire where they have tons of different machines.

by the way, if you go with the tire rack and have them shipped to your installer, ask before shipping them how much they charge per wheel mounting. I paid $170 (OUCH!!) to have my Goodyears mounted. About a $100 to much me thinks!
