And the local Wheel Works shop matched the Discount Tire Direct price of $77 each, though their installation was a bit higher. All in all a GREAT deal on a GREAT tire!!

Yep

I've put about 3K on mine now and am thrilled with them in all respects.

Went through rain today. Some flooding. Perform same as the 512's in rain it SEEMS. I have to do more testing though. This is a good thing as the 512's were really awesome in the rain at any temperature.

The runflats suck.

The level of comfort has grown 2x over the old 512's. the 512's themselves were quite comfortable. Now these new ones are super quiet and smoother even though I have them inflated 2 lbs. more air than I had on my 512's. I am trying stock air pressure at the moment. I normally like 1-2 lbs off recommended pressure for ride comfort/suspension saver.

Just a tip: anything that makes the car jump or bump around isnt performance. Bounce in the tire and relaxed ride actually give for more performance on real roads. no one believes me though...
