i hear that these have long treadlife which decreases grip theoretically but i have yet to squeal them or spin out, and i take turns really hard.. and its responsive in the sense that you can feel the tires giving away.. so no freaking out.. ( did a slalomn test in a parking lot)
although they are not the best when the road gets a litte icy..( duhh Zrated) i just start sliding everywhere lol... got stuck in a snow squall once..
im using 35 series so they are back breaking stiff (52 psi).. especially the fronts..
road noise is not much of a problem for me.. im a city driver.. nothing annoying on the occasional freeway drive..i have the radio on at normal levels and no problem..
my impressions maybe bias though.. since these are the only aftermarket tires ive used and i rarely drove the stock potenzas hard.. couldnt stand the bodyroll...
if you are looking for cheap tires they are well worth the money..

The thing that makes it appealing to me (other than the price) is that it's fairly lightweight. 23 lbs. for 245/35/19 and 25 lbs. for 275/30/19. 12 lbs. saved in overall unsprung weight is pretty good!

if you look closely at the picture you can tell that the rim is a TRUE gunmetal colour.. but the contrast is perfect .. if you took a glance at it wouldnt be noticeable at all especially at night..
