Yes, yes I do. Well, not THAT much but I hate Federals a lot.

Those Falkens are very tempting, but my plans changed and now I need tires for the Advans instead. So unless anyone has a set of Star-Specs, RE11s, Re-01s, AD07s, AD08s, RS-2s, RS-3s, RT-615s or the like in at least a 235 wide size, I no need tires any more.

They're not exactly in the same league as RE11s or Star Specs. You might not feel it on the street, but you will on the autocross track.

*Edit*DOH!, just caught my error!

<<<Same here. I've come to terms with the reality that anything over 220 treadwear is excessive, ha ha!
