#6) Your review and personal comments (Dry, wet, and snow, if applicable. Also, please compare to other tires used):
I found these tires to be a significant improvement over stock in terms of wet performance. They give the car a much more neutral feel, instead of the understeer sensation that I felt with the stock tires. I haven't tested them out in the snow yet, but I'm expecting great things.
Noise: These tires are significantly noisier than stock. I would assume this means that there is a stiffer sidewall, but I need this in NJ with our crap roads and whatnot.
