ALtuu: I like those a lot! We used to carry them, but sales were slow. I am thinking about putting them back on our website, just from your photos alone! Thanks for posting them up and if anyone wants those wheels let me know!

I do like them, although it's difficult to offer an objective evaluation, the reasons being: 1) I now operate with 4-5 lbs reduced unsprung mass at each corner, which in itself is noticable; and 2) I now once again have tread.

I chose them because I need an all-season tire, and they came out #2 in a Tire Rack evaluation, the top choice not available in my size.

But I'd say I'm pleased regardless. Especially considering they, just as with the wheel I chose, were priced at 99 per.

Thanks...It came down to the G019's and the PE2's for me and...I just ordered the PE2's because I don't need an AS tire.

Here was my "final 4": UHP; G019; RE760 & PE2.

TE37's are an all time fave of mine. Used them on several of my Honda / Acura's and original IS300 as well. Expensive, but well worth it!

Tires are Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2. I have a place for a spare (donut) under my rear seat delete.

And I know there is wheel gap, but I have to deal with some crazy speedbumps...
