It's just my set though...many people run the s-drives (Daniel) and have NO issues...

Umm that sucks...Yeah Jim will be doing my alignment as well...Yeah I talked to Daniel about them, & he seems to like them so far...I wonder if it makes a difference at all since his car is rwd & ours are awd...i don't know...maybe...

He actually had them on his Evo as well, when he got his RGIIs...he seemed to like them even then.

I never had any pulling issues with those tires personally on either car. I think those tires were even on my first Evo.

As for all these crazy sites you guys keep finding, I stick to the tirerack.com or tires.com. If you go to one of the discount tire locations (they have the good machines that won't damage the wheels) they will price match any price as well. I prefer to use the big names so you don't have any issues like Robert had with tires not coming in on time, etc.

Mike - Glad you're feeling better man!

i loved the s drives. Very quiet also on the road which was yet another nice thing about them. They lasted a good while and the tread pattern looks a little mean lol
