Excellent tire for Porsche 996 Turbo. Good balance of dry/wet grip and tread life. I was getting 5,000 miles on rear tires with Michelin PS2 and Hankook Ventus V12. I'm expecting 15,000 or more from these... and the traction is better, especially in the rain.

These tires didn't last long at all. I had them on from spring to fall and took them off for the winter. I also rotated when I was suppose to.
