  • 2000 GRAND MARQUIS - P225/60R16 - Those tires have no traction at all... They will skid and slide with light acceleration... Traction Control is always flashing with those craps... If you want to meet death buy those tires......

  • 2005 Corvette Coupe, 2007 Cadillac CTS - Manuf. recommeded - I originally put these tires on my CTS, and they made a huge difference in the ride from the original tires that came on the car. Handling was superb. I liked them so much I put them on my corvette Wide Oval run flats), and definitely a difference to the positive. I would definitely recommend these tires, some of the best I have ever had.
