Of note, the fronts have even less rim protection than the OEM Bridgestones had. There is absolutely no margin of error for any contact with curbs -- parallel parkers beware.

First thing I noticed was how much nicer these ride than the Bridgestones. Major improvement in ride quality. They are both quieter and softer riding -- something I was after as this car is a daily driver, not a track car. I have read complaints that the sidewalls are too soft on these -- and while there is a noticeable difference compared to the Bridgestones, it's hardly enough to make me concerned. My favorite morning highway on ramp is just as much fun as always. My guess is that hard track driving would probably suffer, but these sure seem competent enough for daily driving.

The only complaint so far is that these tires follow the micro-gooves in the cement highways more than I'd like -- of course, not an issue on pavement. Certainly not a deal breaker.

Has not rained yet, but is supposed to later in the week. I'll post a reply with an opinion about rain driving later.
