Tiff needell was once kicked out of a pirelli promotional day as he drove several cars back to back and said that there wasn't any difference between any of the tyres. There's a lot of bull talked about tyres and these are brilliant tyres for the money, in my opinion. Unlike tiff, I do notice a difference, but hey, it's not worth getting as passionate about as some people seem to. On the civic, they do feel softer, because they are. They're also a damn sight quieter than the OE bridgestones. However, I've got used to them, I know the limits of my car, I know the limits of the grip and I drive within. I still love driving my car with them on, moreso because of the reduction in road noise. Late, quick and sharp steering inputs result in quick changes of direction, in the dry at least. In the wet, I don't push my luck, but I never drove like an idiot on the bridgestones either. I had conti's on it before, they were good too. I could afford to put any tyre on my car. But you know what they say about fools and their money?
