Mine have been wearing quite well and in wet conditions i can lose traction at WOT going into the top of 2nd but that's to be expected for any tire on a wet road.
easing into the throttle they still grip great for me tho.
275/45/20.

UPDATE: WET WEATHER REPORT

Sticky sticky sticky

It's freaking flooding this morning and these tires are sticking pretty damn good. I drove normal with no loss of traction. Braking normal with no skid. I give them 2 thumbs up

RACING REPORT: Drop pressure to 25lbs and they stuck like a suckling pig.

I'm very happy with these tires

Just ordered a set of these, 275/60/17 from Discount today, 4-5 days to get here. $600 mounted and balanced, pretty happy with that.

Bill, these things better be all that!
