nice tread pattern. looks like a pretty soft compound too. great for dry. also that huge vane in the side will help with water evac. great choice

I had a set of those on my Civic a few years back, but was not happy with them. I picked them up because I loved the look of the tread, and because I had always wanted Yokohama rubber. Initially they worked great, with a noticeable improvement in handling, and stopping distance. But that fell off very fast, and before I knew it, the car was skiddish, and slid easier while cornering. It hardly rains in So Cal, but when it did, I was nervous. I kept an eye on the tread, and though it looked ok, the performance definitely declined quickly. I never got another set, and went back to my Dunlops. This was my experience though, and I hope you fare better. For all I know, it may have been other factors contributing to the poor showing.
