I had some on my civic. They seemed o.k. but I don't think I would buy them again. I had alot of bad luck with potholes and curbs.

i have them on my summer rims (size 225/40/18) and they are alright. for the money not a bad tire but the traction leaves much to be desired on the often wet seattle roads.... not that I can expect a ton of wet traction from a Z-rated summer tire.... but so far after 5000 miles, can't compain too much!

if you have the few extra bucks, people here seem to like the bridgestone potenza re730's. supposed to have much more stick to the road. in hindsight i should have gotten those...

I've read two tire reviews recently, and they both say that it's a good tire for the price... they didn't have any negative things to say about the tire, but that it's simply a good tire for the money. Then again they didn't have much positive things to say about the tire either.

I have them on my back right now... and I just got two new Yokohama AVS-Sport in the front... I'll probably change the back ones next month... (I'm a little short on cash this month)

I've been through LOTS of tires, and my 555's are the best out of them all. No complaints, no problems. We have them on all of your cars here.

I have heard many good things about them. Great traction, good tread life.
