My tyre experience is minimal, but I can tell you they grip very well in the dry (managed to keep up with sco_aus on the run to Tidbinbilla - his RB25 isn't tuned properly but still! ) and in the wet. I tend to drive very defensively in the wet though. Tyre wear is... good, I think. (I'm not very sure on what is good or not but they seem to be holding up well after 6 months.) They cost me 140.50 a tyre, 562.00 all up. 215/60R15 XL 98H according to the receipt.
As you can see I'm not very technical when it comes to cars, I'm just a dude. Doing my best to learn.
