Good question. My in-laws just had a set of those put on their TL.

I need to drive it to see if it tramlines.

I just put on a set today. Love the grip and the road noise is the same as a stock tire.

I tried SO3s on a B5S4 and they did tramline a lot and when half the tread was gone they became very

loud. I tried PS2s on the e55, very sticky, nice feel, quiet, stable, only drawback was I didn't get much mileage out of them, possibly not the tires fault, that car could eat tires.

I am running 18" Pilot Sport 2's and they tramline...

like a train. I think it comes with high performance (especially summer) tires.

I will not get another set of these, but go with high-perf. all-seasons for the next set (probably Pirelli P-zero nero M&S). I can't stand the tramlining and noise levels of the PS2's.

Besides, if I really need grip, I just mount my Hoosiers
