Mercedes E350 2006 - 245/45 R17 95H - Got two of them as replacement tires when mine got damaged from a road hazard. I was going to replace them when the other 2 tires got worn in order to get treadwear all 4 tires the same so I got these because they were less than 1/2 the price of the recommended tires at the dealer. But once I got them, they were no different from the OEM tires. Just as quiet and traction was the same. So now I'm replacing my OEM tires with these. My only beef is that treadwear don't seem to last very long. But they're cheap.

BMW 325i - 225 40R18 - Great value, looks great. Wet traction is nice, but dry traction is ok. Have understeer and slips out under sharp turning, and maybe they cant handle a heavier car? Prob great on a Civic or something. Should give me good longer tread life than others which is primarily why I got these. Not a super quiet tire, but totally acceptable. Rim protector is small, not as large as others. Again, good value.

2003 VW Jetta - 205/55/R16 - Dry Traction: Excellent. Wet Traction: Ok. It is very good in the wet when the tire is new. After about 50% wear, watch out if there are ruts in the road! Snow Traction: Telfon coated frying pans have better grip. Handling: Good. not great. The Jetta is pretty light in the back, but I still sense some rear end sliding when driving aggressively. Ride Comfort: Good. nice in a straight line. Noise Comfort: fine until you get below 50% wear. These tires get NOISY. So noisy that a few days after taking the winter tires off to put these back on, I took the car in to the shop because I was sure I had a wheel bearing that was ceasing up... turns out the noise was just the tires. Treadwear: I bought two new tires last summer due to flats (nothing to do with the tire quality, just really bad luck in picking up two nails in two months...) I put the two new ones on the front. All four tires are now down to about 3/32"... so I got about 25,000kms.

98 Integra & 95 240sx - 195/50/15 & 205/50/15 - Got a set for my DC first and liked how they handle the corners so I got another set for my 240. I'd recommend the 195 wheel base for FF and autocross since they give you better manuverability as opposed to traction+understeer on tight turns. It performs great on dry road but careful not to abuse them on a wet road. They're quite smooth but a little noisier than my old Bridgestone RE930. But what do you expect? I'm Performance>Comfort. A lot cheaper than bridgestones too.
