Man these things blow the stock tires out of the water. I havent had a chance to really put them through their paces, but I did spend ~15 min messing around in an empty parking lot. I agree reguarding the ride/sound.
I am currently running them on my GLI on the street, and they are great tires! Very quiet, good ride, good dry grip, haven't had a chance to test them in rain yet. I would recommend them if you want an all-season UHP, that you can do the occasional autox on.
I've run Toyo RA-1s and thought they did a fine job, although I never did better than 2.1. With more launches under my belt, my Dunlop SP8000s have performed as well.
some people don't like them but I get good results with my Toyo FZ4 205-50-15.
I have directional Sumitomo HTR-Z II tires and I don't have a single complaint after almost 6 months. Very quiet, great grip, great wear rating, and very good wet traction.
With regard to tire pressures, btw. I'm running T1-S in a 245/45 16 size on my S6 wagon, with 36 pounds of pressure in each tire. I started out at 34, and picked it up to 36.
I got a set of Sumitomo HTZII's and those are the shizzit, very responsive, good traction, and best of all super quiet.
New tires (Sumitomo HTR-4, 195/50/15) All parts replaced have been done in the last 10 miles.
