they're really good traction wise and the life on them is around 25k miles. the previous owner had them on before I got hold of the car. I've had the car for a little under 20k miles. the ride quality is a little bit more rough though. you get more road noise inside the cabin. ive gotten used to it but people who rarely sit in my car (e.g my parents) will say they're a bit louder than normal. goodluck on your decision!

edit: i only have them on my fronts now since the rear ones had pretty much no tread left. but ive got 225/40/18 i think

I had these on my 550RWHP Supra. And they hooked amazingly! By far the best tire I've ever used, and traction in the wet was amazing. FWIW, the Vredesteins continually win tire shootouts in Europe against all the heavy hitters. This tire is no joke. The Z06 guys love this tire too.

My 2nd fav tires were Hankook V12 EVO. But nowhere near as good as the Vredesteins.
