Yeah, they're cheap. That's what makes them great. You can get a lot of performance for your dollar. They are ranked #11 of a ton of tires in that class on tirerack.

Well, no Z rated tire is designed to be driven in snow, in fact it can be pretty dangerous if you try and do it.

But like you said, good overall high performance tire.

Thanks for the input guys! I'll have some car pics up as soon as I buy some rubber and do a little detailing. The tires will come from Cali or Fl; seems like the better deals are out there. Kuhmo, Nankang, and the Wanli all look like they would work for me.
