I was looking into getting a set of those at some point, thanks for the write up, I might steer away from those now.I have BFG BFG G-Force T/A KDWS right now and they wear pretty good so far and good all around

what tire would you recomend for long term high speed driving, i often spend 2 or more hours on the autobhan with the cruse control on at ~140 mph. right now for my summer tires i am using the Pirelli PZero summer tire in 278-40-18. i run a 18x10 rim in the back for my summer tires, i need a good speed rating(W,Y,or Z) and often drive in the rain, so wet traction is a must. I have another set of winter tires so i dont need/want an all season tire. The current tires only lasted about 1 summer, showing quite a bit of wear, and i only put ~10k miles on them, is that normal for high perf tires?

Thanks.

For the type of driving you do, I would probably run something like the Yokohama ADVAN Sport, or the S.drive. Even one of the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S series would be a decent choice for you. Given the speeds at which you drive plus the need for a tire with good wet traction. those are really the only ones I could recommend off the top of my head!

I'm running the Yoko S.drive.
Priced right too.
Glad somebody else like them...
