Its true though...

Gomme silenziosissime, hanno una tenuta ottima , inserimento preciso in curva . Sono soddisfattissimo . Vanno benissimo anche sul bagnato . E le ho pagate solo 35 euro l'una !

Very quiet tires, have a good seal, insert precise cornering. I am very satisfied. They go very well in the wet. And I paid only 35 euro each!

I do the same with the Audi, an extra few dollars a tank is worth it. My 170hp V6 actually calls for it as well.

Did you find any reviews on the tire? I couldn't find much written about them, but $400 shipped seems awfully cheap. I've heard that the Hankook Icebear is a good affordable snow tire, but those Federals are probably $40-$50 less per tire.

I'm debating on buying new all-seasons. My Avon Tyres (they're British) are 4-5/32's in the front and 3-4/32's in the rear. Snow would probably be a little sketchy if I try and get a fifth season out of them. I'm thinking of picking up a set of the new Continental ExtremeContact DWS.

Also, you never got back to me about the ET500's. How have you liked them as a street pad? Have you driven enough miles to see how quickly the pad seems to be wearing. What other pads have you had in the past, and how would complare them to the ET500's?

Why would you want to go the Olive Garden in the first place?

ben, i'm running et500s and they're not too bad. they really need to be heated up well before they start stopping the car well. i'm a brake junkie and like stopping fast perhaps more than i like going fast so i think i need something aggressive but for the street and autox they're adequate.

also the only thing i like at olive garden is the soup salad and bread sticks. they food is pretty bad. they have one decent wine on the menu too.

Thats hard to believe Ray. The Nokians are rated as one of the best snow tires on the market. I'm dying to see how the Generals I have do in the snow. Reviews say they are awesome in deep snow.

I know I need to get back to you on that Ben. Overall, I agree with Dan, there not the greatest, but they work. I've had a few scary moments where I wouldn't have been able to stop to avoid hitting someone without swerving. They don't have much bite when their cold.

I'd be happy with a pad that does what the hawk hps does on the corolla. I can engage abs by just thinking about braking firmly.
