No problem straight line driving to & from!

Big plus here is they DON'T smell like horse manure like the Invos!

Have them, don't love them. They are "adequate". Worth the money but a little soft in the turns.

Does Discount Tire offer the lowest price or is there someplace else that has them cheaper ?

I got mine from discount tire about 8+ months ago, 10k DD. 800 589 6789 ext 51839 - Ray. I got the insurance on one ($13), and Ray picked up the insurance on the other. I had seen where someone else sold them for a few dollars less. Ray gave me the lower price. Free shipping. The other place wanted to charge shipping and the only place they had them in stock was far away. The tires are just fine. I told Ray that I would recommend him. Give it a try.

Bought them (V12's) after Car and Drivers comparison. Stock size....very smooth, very quiet, and grip good enough for spirited cruises. My mpg's went down about 1 to 1/2 gals, but who cares......I think that's more because of my driving habits now that I have a new set of rubber that work so well.
Can't comment on the "bumps" someone spoke of when cold in winter as baby hybernates with a battery tender till spring.
Tire Rack had them cheaper than Discount Tire Direct, but shipping is free at DTD, and it evened out. They had $50 rebate when I got mine so check to see if it's being/will be offered soon.
Buy them....you won't be sorry.

Yeah, I don't have a set, but I saw this C&D comparison and they were a clear standout for a high-performing daily driver tire.
