guess i should have went into more detail.

ive had several tires before getting the ZRi's. Dunlop, Kumho, Michelin, Nitto (ugh), Falken and even Bridgestones. the michelin's were the only all season tires while the rest were summer tires.

in terms of dry grip, they are awesome and dont feel like they're going to let up very easily when pushed to the limit. ive had the tires for a good 5k miles so far and they still feel great. are they as good as the bridgestones and falkens? not really, but for the price, they cant be beat.

wet grip, they're ok. but what do you expect from summer tires? :dunno:

there you go, personal experience, not heresay. h:

my bad i didnt specify the model, they are BF goodrich sports, they dont sqeek when losing grip because they dont lose grip.

it's harder for me to do posi burnouts because they grip so well, i just get crazy wheelhop.

rain they are great and the sidewalls are stiff.

I have a set of traction T/A's and they are 4 times the size of my falkens for some reason, literally, they are the same size on the tire, and the BF Goodrich are a good 3" bigger.

"sports" probably refers to BF Goodrich g-Force Sport. h:

BFG tends to make their tires beefier than other brands.
