Pros:
Excellent handling
Cons:
Replaced my runflats with 215/45x17s. Great grip and ride and the cost!?! Unbeatable. Tested on two weekends at Sebring, plus 6-7K miles and I have plenty of tire left for the upcoming season.
Someone mentioned they were loud, but I can't hear them. My exhaust and supercharger whine must be drowning them out, and yours will be too.

Low cost

Just OK grip
Have about 5 track days on a set of 205/45x17s. They're decent from the get go, but break down pretty bad as they heat up. At least they cut loose easy and once they have broke down they are slick but predictable. Haven't tried them in the wet and won't get a chance to since I've got to replace them after one of the fronts started to chunk out pretty good. Replacing them with the new Kuhmo Ecsta XS. Plan to run those in a week at Portland International. Will post a review of them then. Car and Driver raved about them so we'll see. Running them on a bone stock (except for EBC Red pads in front), 08' MCS
