ya willing to give them a shot, price + 315's availability + T.R. package is what won me over this time
Probably RT615K again next set, or see how the new BFG Rival plays out, I'd consider NT01's as well but probably wear them out too often, given the amount I drive the car and hydroplane resistance...

i haven't had them in years, but i'm finding even on rear only, they are a bit *rough*. but on my car that is a counterintuitive assessment lol

As noted the wheels get big points for being direct fit and like but don't love the look. The P zeros never seemed to wear good for me but haven't had a set in years- the cool red lettering is sharp.

i think they're gonna outlast ( rear only ) the ps2 by half. i swear the tread is monster truck as compared to the ps2... and the red logo is kinda cool

I was amazed how little tread is on my new Contis but at least they should wear evenly with fresh alignment.

^ your alignment/ride height = specs will be different than mine. i'm - 1.5 inches at least! stock alignment is perfect for tread wear if the car isn't lowered. you should be fine..unless you had that common increased inner tread wear. thats a bit*h and costly as I'm sure you know.
