Extremely good summer tire, worth every penny. I ran these on a set of 18" BBS RC in 225/40-18, and could not believe the difference between them and my last summer tires (Bridgestone, Michelin). I'd describe my driving style as spirited, and the grip is amazing. Tried them on my '03 GTI as well as my '13 BRZ, and they transformed both cars - every bit of grip I'd want on the street, at a good price.
