The tread pattern looks very similiar to the Yokohoma ES100's. I hope they work out for you.

it's all about the skill of the driver...Kris is probably one of the best drivers on this forum...so it's not how clean the car is, but how fast it can launch...and with Kris's lead foot, he'll leave most of us in the dust

With the mileage you have on yout TL, I'm surprised that your rims are still in good shape..

I still like those better than the newer TL stocks.

yea yea yea ill wash it when it stops snowing or raining for more than 2 days in a row! it could look worse, and it has!
these tires are AWSOME!!! i would rank them close if not as good as the PILOT SPORTS so far! the grip is unreal! and the at the limit handeling is increadable. it is very easy to predict when they are about to loose grip. ill update when have more behind the wheel time (tomorrow racing)

ok heres what you do! go out to your car with a bottle of dish soap, drive to a deserted road cover both front tires with the soap set the E brake turn tcs off and floor it, you should get a gould 3 min out of the tires before they blow. (stop before they do) then they will be worn enough to replace them!

or you could sell/hold on to the tires for winter use if they r all season. OR you could sandblast your car with sand and rocks, burn your e-break and then get nice new tires to go with your chipped paint job.

up 2 u

ok i went autocrossing today with the new tires! they ROCK!!!! about an hour in it started to rain and the traction never gave up. they bite HARD wet or dry, then it started to snow.. we only got 1/4 inch but i couldnt get started moving from a dead stop. DO NOT DRIVE THAT TIRE IN THE SNOW! other than that i LOVE IT!

I'm actually looking for all season tire, I don't want to change my tire in the winter.

What are you going to do next winter, or do you have winter tire already???

yea i have the dunlop wintersport m3's. ive run all seasons before and there is just no comparing them to a dedicated winter tire. i like having summer only and winter only. if you want a all season i would recomend the htr+s i had those on during winter on the tl and they handle the snow good (alot better than the factory tires) and they lasted my agressive driving 40k and they are inexpensive
