Also, does the car still hook up similarly from a launch?

i purchased them from Tire Rack and had them installed at a local tire shop. I don’t have any issues with traction when going full throttle in any gear nor from a stop.

Nice, thanks for the feedback. If you don't mind sharing, how much did you end up paying for the whole thing?

Actually, Identical to your quote. Tires were $840 from Tire Rack to my house and I payed $50 for mounting and balancing. I’m very happy with these. Tremendous value for the money. More than enough bite for my needs.

Took a few pics for you if you’re interested in how they look on the car.

Looks great, thank you for taking those pictures! I will probably go this route when it's time for new tires since they are such an amazing value, I will give them a chance.
