I am and i love them. Good wet dry traction and i was cutting 2.1-2.3 60 foot times at the track. I am running 245's up front and 275's on the rear both on a 17x9 wheel.

how is the tread wear & noise. i just ordered y2k 2000 18x9 corbra r's & i dont know what size i should get. was thinking 275/35/18 all around, but not sure if it will rub. or i could so 265/35/18's in front & 275/35/18's in the back or would 265/35/18's all around make more sense what is better same size all around or staggered size from front to back.

As far as treadwear they still look new and ive had them on for about 4 months and i have no road noise at all. Im really not sure about the sizes especially on an 18. I went staggered for more traction in the rear and i really dont see the need for a 275 in the front.

I have had these tires for about a year now and I think I can easily get another year out of them. I drive about 7,000 miles a year and I take it easy most of the time. They do just fine in the rain but snow is another beast. They leave a nice footprint in the snow but they have horrible traction. If you are going to drive your car in the snow or have the chance of getting caught in the snow go with another tire for the winter.

Those are about the best tires you can get for a daily driver. Don't drive in the snow though. I went with Kumhos cuz I was cheap. Actually, I like them though and will get again. I cut 2.0s the first time at the track with them too.

I've had them for about 20k miles. I really like them. They are not a good hooking tire, but they are exceptional daily driver tires and very good in the rain.

I'm running 275/40/17s on all 4 corners.

I've got 275-35-18's all around on 18X9 Cobra R Motorsports. I like them for a daily driver. I have trouble getting them to hook though. IMO, they are a good all around tire.

Agreed.
Ive had them for about 6k and they still look brand new. Well except the front tires which get worn on the sides real fast, but thats not the tires fault.
Good traction for the $$ and the road noise is ALOT better than the Kuhmos I use to have on.

I have 12k on my Kumhos and I can't hear them at all. Maybe it's my SLP exhaust though.
