I thought about em, but this was $680 less so I decided to save my money.

I was a bit skeptical of them but most of the reviews online seemed to be favorable. Tire Rack actually compared them favorably to the Bridgestone RE050 which is the OEM tire on the MS6. I don't have any objective data but seat-of-pants feel is they have a ton of grip.

Basically, the wheels were only $99 each and the tires $109, and they perform how I want. I appreciate you guys' opinions and am willing to accept them given the price and handling.
