I have Hawk HPS pads on my car which bite very hard for a street pad, but I still haven't had ABS engage during hard emergency braking situations with these tires. They are great when cornering hard, and when they break loose its never a surprise, unlike a lot of other tires that feel perfectly fine in a corner until they lose grip out of nowhere. They also snap back into grip very easily with small corrections, so they are very fun to push the limits with when you get the chance. They do transmit small road imperfections very well which isn't the nicest thing on the street (for some reason even the stress relief breaks in concrete pavement really makes these vibrate at highway speeds but they're fine on asphalt at the same speeds) but ends up being very helpful other times. They are also pretty loud depending on the road surface. They only lasted me 25,000 miles but that's including some pretty hard driving and occasional track use.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

This tire is $350us for a set of four. It’s the cheapest, softest, high performance tire available for someone on a budget or someone that burns through tires.(track days/drift days)
I put these on a weekend warrior/dd car with pretty low expectations because of price. This quickly changed.
Car drove great after alignment(anytime new tires are put on alignment should be done).
After a hard 100miles of scrubbing time and heat cycles these tires settled in nicely.
Dry grip was very good for a 400 tire. I’d say this tire is more 250-300 in wear category. It’s no falken Azenis. But it’s definitely not all season. It’s a good entry level high performance only tire. Once the tire built heat tire would start marbling. This would only happen when driven very hard on hot 90°f+ days.
I did find the performance edge of the tire very quickly when cold(0 road heat). When hot it’s a little more forgiving. A beginner or someone that has 0 skill would have a hard time with this abrupt edge.
Wet grip was ok. It was very comparable to my Goodyear eagle sport all seasons. Definitely not a tire i would race on in the wet or drive with spirit on road when wet.
Winter. This tire is not an all season tire. It is not a winter tire. This is a soft compound tire. A soft compound needs heat to work. Cold and soft tires do not mix.
Noise level was good. Again it’s a high performance tire with a soft compound for $350. Most people running this kinda tire have cars loud enough to not hear a tire.
Tread wear. They say this tire is a 400aa tire. But I can tell after a few thousand miles it was obvious that it’s lower. I got just shy of 10,000miles out of them. Putting them in a 250-300 range in my opinion. This is comparing them the falken and federals we have ran in the past.
However, I do believe that I could have got closer to 15k to 20k out of the tire IF we ran 0-1° of camber instead of the current 2-2.5°.
Once the tire wore in from camber from daily driving this is where the tire got noisy. But again. Nature of the beast.. I will absolutely will continue to run the tire on all of my vehicles in the category.
This tire is a fantastic low budget high performance tire. But you have to understand what your buying and lower the expectations. This is not a $150-250 tire, it’s $75. It’s a tire you can buy a lot of and burn off at drift days. It’s a tire that will absolutely get you though a track day or 7 depending on temperature and skill.
