I picked these up earlier in the week and had Costco mount them yesterday. Since its "spring" hitting here there was a 6 hour wait on tire installs so I left the wheels for the day. Its been a few years since I've bought brand new street tires (except for R compounds that is). These tires even feel sticky, I can't wait to get them mounted..... and then for the temperature to rise so they will start to really hold the road. The grooves look pretty wicked, the rain gutters look like these will be really good tires in the wet.

I'm going to run Solo II on these tires, they're supposed to be the new competition to Azenis tires.

I'm guessing around $80 each.

I paid $117 Canadian each which is about $97 US. Things cost more here in Canada and this was an great "group buy" price. Edge Racing sells the same tire for $79US I believe. It would have been about $10 a tire cheaper for me to have bought them from the US but that would mean dealing with shipping and such so for a few bucks more I had them 2 hours after I called up the shop.

After putting them on I went for a quick spin. I didn't push them that hard as they're brand new and I want them to break in properly. I can tell they will be very sticky, its not warm yet and there's already lots of grip.

Yes, convinience is truly worth a couple extra bucks. What rims are they on? Stocks or aftermarket? Let us know how they hold up?

Stock rim size is 205/55/16...same as the tire spec.
