My third set
This is my third set Indy500, first with EP3 then second with ND MX-5. Now my sons Honda Fit GE. Been DD and track with Indy500 and no complain with the price and performance. There are better tire out there but nothing come close to Price/Performance in this. Been looking for Yoko AD09 Conti ECS 02 and 4S. But those are like 30% more expensive and size are very narrow in choice. Kind of remind me of Bridgestone RE71 back in the days.

Excellent all around
I have driven on Pzero (trash) Nitto 555 (trash) and these were worlds better than both of those tires. My car is supercharged with 650whp and these tires hold up surprisingly well under hard acceleration outside of 2nd gear, drive great in the rain and have lasted a long time considering my wheels are staggered and I cannot rotate them. These are 100% my go to tires

Great tires so far at a great price. Huge upgrade over stove tires that come on the Z. The tread is attractive and the traction is "grippy".

Great but do not last
I had these on my 330Ci (manual ZHP). These were great at gripping the pavement. I really liked them. I didn't want to use them during the winter based on the reviews and them being summer tires. I had them for 6 months and 10,000 miles, I took my car in to switch to all season Michelin's. The front tires had minimal to no tread while the rears were in good shape. I'm an old guy, I don't drive that aggressively, well maybe a little aggressive in corners but surprised how quickly they wore out. Now, if I wasn't afraid of driving these in the rain, I might have replaced the fronts as they did handle great.
