I just bought a set a few months ago. Great tire at an affordable price.

How many miles did you get on the first set?

I am on my first set and the ride is a lot better than the Yokohamas I replaced.

they are a good tire...only downside is they need to warm up to run smooth in the cold months. if you get 15-20k miles out of them that is considered normal.

Have had them on my car for about a year - not one complaint. Great tire and very hard to beat for the price.

I have had Hankook v12's on for about a year, and they work great on the street from third gear on. First and second not so good. I have to make sure I am in third gear while getting on the freeway, just in case I need to accelerate. Next set will be something with more traction. They are quiet and seem to corner very well.

I just changed my first set of fronts after two + years. Maybe 30k on them. This past May put on second set of fronts. Last year, installed first set in rear. All standard sizes. Changing fronts again made big difference. Like it.

Bone stock, auto, 3:15 gears, I can break the back tires loose (maybe 10k from new) through first gear. After that they hook up well. New fronts hold the road fine for me, wet/dry. I love the twisties when I get the chance. Over all good value for the $$$

Only dislike for me is, they seem to look more of a brown color than black. But that's easy to fix when you wash and shine.
