I should mention that it came w/Pirelli Scorpions - burned those off inside of a year, replaced w/the OE Conti - dont really care for the feel. They were less on all points. When deciding to change the rims, agonized over the tires. Decided to try the Hankooks - price & overall ratings.
Been TOTALLY surprised so far - the ride is amazingly SMOOOOOOOTH and QUIET. Got some good rain a few days back - decided to push it a bit - they took hold quite well. Now, havent gone thru anything that would offer a test for hydroplaning yet (THAT will be the REAL test), but so far . . . . no complaints.
