If you do I'd advise you to get seomthing else. These tires squeal really bad. Sometime even when im transporting my son around and on hard left or right turns, the tires squeal. Not a really good sign.
In the wet, they are pretty good. Grips well.

yes, i do drive aggressively, but, not irresponsible.
is the squeal threshold greater than the oem michelins? if so, it'll be sufficient for me.
once installed, i'll check out the cornering limits in an empty parking lot or something...

The oems didnt squeal as bad as the fierce. That was two months after I got them. Treadwear is good, but the squeals, im a bit disappointed. But i guess thats what you get for getting budget tires.
They have similar tread pattern as the higher end F1 GS-D3, but apparently not of the same grip on dry. Im afraid of bringing them to the track.

thanks for the feedback. that is surprising, in that oem > fierce in squeal threshold.
i bought the set used. 80% tread wear remaining.
what's your opinion on the fierce sidewall flex?

The sidewall on the fierce i find to be stiff. Which is good in that it doesnt flex much. I presume thats how it is gets wear rating is about 420 or so.
WHen the tires squeal it does hold steady and I dont feel the car sway or slide, but just tells me im at the threshold......
