These tires are F***ING NUTS. I ran 205/45 R16 a few years ago.

Good:
-- Uber dry adhesion
-- Super-duper road feel
-- Car turns with no effort

Bad:
-- Car turns whenever the f*** it wants to (Follows every single rut in the road)
-- Doesn't like toe-out-- corded in 15K-ish street miles.

This is with respect to 195-55R15 RE010's, Falkien ZIEX. They're also dartier and more responsive than the 15" Kumho, BFG or Toyo RA1 track tires I've used.

They're definitely a fun tire. Stay out of the snow with them. I would recommend them, for sure, but they don't seem to be a conventional choice around here.

I autocrossed a Mazda 3 with Azenis, haven't used them other than that, so I personally can't compare them against the PZeros.

Very good summary of the tires. I ran them as my second set on the R after the stocks corded at 9k miles. They lasted about 15k miles for me.

Very good dry traction.

They don't squeal until you get very near the edge. They can take heat -- I used them for my first fwe HPDEs in the summer and they took all the heat I could throw at them.

Good wet weather performance -- not great, but better than the stocker Bridgestones.

They do follow the ruts in the roads -- keep your hands on the steering wheel!

Overall I didn't appreciate just how good they were until after I ran a couple of sets of cheaper tires. Prolly the best non-R tire I've owned.

I know Josh (itrsport.com) has used them before, and I think Double A Ron has as well.

Yessum. I have 195/50/15s on OEM wheels. Very narrow but they work well for daily non-winter driving. DO NOT throttle lift oversteer at speed though. Due to the narrow width, the R rotates violently. I remember trying them in the rain when new and I could NOT break them loose from a stand still and WOT. Reason for buying.... Tire Rack had them for $50 each as a closeout. $222 shipped I think.
