i think they are bad *** tires, i love em , just got a set mounted on the si today too .
they are better the hotter it gets outside, and great int her rain , they suck in snow though. they grip good , i hahahahaha i killed my clutch in my other teg with my 17's with these on trying to spin em . . . so they do grip good i dragged on them a few times.

I got these about 2 months ago, 195-55-15 on the stock rims. Like DC2-8888 said, the side walls are way too soft. If you really like the steering and turn in characteristics of the stock RE010's, stay away from these. I have to run them at 40F/38R cold, just for them to be acceptable. However, they do have some grip and a more comfortable ride. But around turns, they just don't have the control or stability of the RE's. I wish I had spent the extra $50 each for the stockers.

i have 205/50/15
like i would say yes the sidewalls are soft
they tires look good from behind though the tread pattern i love it
but the downside is that turn in seems slow
for track performance for Me they are good enough, like unlimited ran a 14.4 wtih them in his R with just t1-S 205/50/15 and like aem
so yeah they are not bad,
compared to stock tires, re010 seems to have faster turn in when i had them and faster switch over when i would counter the wheel
when i turn though 205/50/15 seems more stable, not sure if its the tire or what
but yeah i would get SP9000 dunlops
i RATE them good, but not the BEST road tires i think there is tirse better in rain still and just as good for the same price

I have a set of 195-55-15's on stock ITR rims.

As with everyone else, I'm gonna have to say that the sidewall is way too soft. My friends car, exact same suspension, with S0-3's feels soo much more precise. The steering is awesome. Mine...is really wishy washy. They have good grip...but, I'd recommend S0-3's over these.

I gotta jump in here and vent a little. I have a set of 195/50/15 T1-S on my ITR. Sidewall stiffness is really crap, it scares me to hit high speeds on the highway with the fear that the tires will come loose on a lane change because of the sidewalls. On straight line, they are of acceptable grip but, I can chirp the tires on 2nd and 3rd gear almost without trying; something I could not do with the Potenzas. I have to admit that the tires look awesome but I wish I would have bought some other tire.
