These things don't disappoint in reflexes, steering feel or handling either - they're far better than the Yokohama AVS ES100's I once sampled (terrible tires), and are in the same league with the Eagles, SP9000s and Potenza S-03s until you push it past 7/10s. It amazes me still how well they blend handling, wet traction, snow traction, road comfort, steering feel, and noise. I have about 35k miles on them.

Plus they're tirerack's #1 rated all seasonal tire.
