Default Got 'em. Ran 'em at TT-West '03 in the agressive group. Performed just fine.

And I think they are less noisy than the stock Michelin Pilot Sports.

Default They tend to get a bit greasey on the track, but are generally....

good in the dry. Not so great in the wet, especially standing water.

Great for the money, but I may move up to a better tire next time I buy.

Default excellent general street tire. If you aren't tracking the car, you aren't going to lose >>

anything but money by going with a more expensive tire. I went from dunlop 5000's, to dunlop 9000s to the 712's and I prefered the 712s. Which were about 70 per tire cheaper than the 9000s. Felt just as good in the wet or dry with highly spirited driving. I thought the feel over rough roads was better than either of the dunlops.

great tire for hte price, go for it

Good bang for the buck but the handling is very inferior to stock Piliots...
