Special Ed. Wanli tires sucked.

Wanli is soft and rubbery. However, it doesn't bite on the road as much as I want to. They certainly bite harder than the RE92s. From my experience, Wanli squeals really easily. You can make it screech at low velocity. With my current SP9000. It certainly doesn't screech as easy as the Li's. It definitely bites harder during cornering, yet it slides smoothly during the moments of throttle off (wagon butt wiggling). I really do like my SP9000. But I'm sure there are plentiful of other great tires. Happy searching.
