Any one have these on their car? How do they handle (dry and wet)? Are they noisy? Should I spend more money and get a better tire?
Thanks

Spend a little more cash on a better tire. These tend to wear a little more on the shoulder's for some reason. People always think that it is an alignment problem but nothing there. They handle ok for an H-speed rated tire but are avaliable in an Z rated tire in certain sizes.
If you are going to spend the cash get a Cooper Zeion or MasterCraft Avenger HP for about the same cash.
Either way you should get at least a V speed rated tire and above. The Yoko Decibles are pretty damn good(pricy though), Fuzion ZRi's are awsome and they are not at all expensive.
Either way save some cash and buy the good stuff. You be happier in the end run.

they kick the *** of any 15" tire, they're cheap as a 14" tire, and at that price, you can smoke out the block and not feel bad. I love em. Dont drive your fbody in the rain. Dont care what you run. If and if its an l98 or modified. Its just not safe. If its your only car. Get a nice rain tire. 245/45/16 is z rated, and 56 dollars from tirerack.com

i just played around with a mustang yesterday with brand new ones and they seemed to be pretty decent for the cash. I mean around 80 bucks for 17 inch tires is cheap!!! I guess it all depends on what you intend to do with em....
