I got these tires for my BMW convertible. They are great for dry roads. They are okay in the rain but being a convertible I mostly drive on good days. I would recommend these tires for everyday normal driving. Can't comment on winter conditions.

These tires finally came to an end. My car sit a lot in a airport parking lot in the hot sun of Florida for extended days. I noticed I was getting flat spot. Now the tires got me bumping down the road. They lasted a good numbers of years but the mileage don't add up. I guess if you use your vehicle on a regular basis these tires will serve you good but if, in my opinion, these tires are for a second car that mostly sit outside in the sun and hot weather maybe try something else. I will. The Price was super and mind you I had these tires since 2014. I would only by these tires again if they was going on a vehicle I drive more often.

Much better tire than expected. Corners great. Don't know about the high speed max rating on these but they handled flawlessly at 140mph with multiple mild to medium curves.

Actually available now as Americus Sport HP. I'm on my second set. They aren't the best but perform all the way up to the 90 percent as good as you would want to expect of a super premium tire. But instead of saving 10%, by the logic above, you save about 40%! Another reason I like 'em is they are predictably 'slidey' which is a safety factor as I wait for a suspension upgrade. They are definitely better than a bottom-line Kuhmo, for example. And this 90% is across the board, wet, dry, noise, and wear. The compound did give up to age but after using all its tread in about 15 months. As far as snow, who knows. A 92 Prelude is no snowmobile. Get these or pay 40% more for that last 10%!
