JDMSIJDM definitely got a great deal. I've been driving around on my Bridgestone RE730's for over a year and love 'em. The next set may be some Pirelli or Kumho or maybe Falken... choices, choices...

aren't these great tires.....here in MA it rains often and these babies stick to the road.......got to love them.....
I bought them from the same place...and cost me a whopping $30 to have them mounted and balanced ............

Sorry dude, I don't wear a skirt (have no idea what you asked). I'm pretty happy with 'em. Wet traction is really good and dry is awesome. Wear is good after a year (around 15kmi), I have one bald which I'm soon replacing because I was too lazy to check the pressure (a costly mistake).
No drag race and about 10 autocrosses per year. On the track, they grab very well. I was surprised the other day doing a panic stop on a wet off-ramp with a slight turn, they didn't slip at all (but I was very careful not to lock 'em up). Threshold braking is excellent but the Hawk pads seem to want to lock easier when they're cold and much more linear when they're warm (which has little to do with the tires).
