I got ST115's also, 245/35ZR19. I can definitely feel more cornering grip, but I'll need some suspesion upgrades to fully take advantage of it. They also work pretty good when its wet. They have a higher treadwear than my stocks did, so hopefully I'll get a bit more mileage out of them.

I am running ST115 in 245/40-18. Great tires. I heard good remarks about FK451 also. My next set of tires will be the new FK452 that just came out.

I had no idea so many people had ST-115's.

I have them also. The grip is good but there is room for improvement but you'll also pay 2-3 times as much for an everyday UHP tire. I also believe there isn't a more smooth riding 19 in. tire out there. Minimal road noise as well. Great all around tire IMO.

I just came off the GR Beta FK451s in 245/40/18. Definitely NOT for use on the track, they howl more than a whipped dog. They are good for wet traction but the road noise could be less.

I just ordered a set of RT-615s in 245/40/18. I can't wait!!
