Has anyone ever driven on these tires before? I’m thinking about picking up a set for decently cheap. They are normally 190/tire and come on Cobalt SS’s from the factory.

They might see a track day, but it certainly won’t be a repeating habit.

I would be getting 225/40/18s.

Yeah, I went from the stock Dunlop 9000s to those and couldn’t tell the difference in the dry, never drove on them in the rain. So as far as grip they handled curves pretty well but I never tracked them. They also didn’t wear as fast as the 9000s.

Hmm. They don’t have terrible reviews. But they aren’t rated as high as other tires in the price range.

they’re nothing special… there are a lot of other tires I’d pick over them in this price range.

Well how about when they are $300 for a set with about 10 miles on them?

Dude I thought you already purchased these? Just buy them otherwise new tires are going to run you $500+ anyways.
