	For the money, they're not THAT bad, but I agree, they are not a tire
you will find on a Porsche, Ferrari, M5, etc. But they LOOK like you
will!(read: look a lot better than they perform)  I found the worst
aspect to be the very loud howl they gave off when cornering, and
were/are(especially now since my fronts are treadless) also loud on the
highway.
