Default A tire review that I found funny! Yeah R related...

while searching Tirerack I found this.. I was LOL and almost fell out of my chair.

"Vehicle: 2000 Acura Integra R
Location: fairfax, va
Driving Style: Spirited
Miles driven on tires: 1,500 Driving Condition: Combined Highway/City
Reviewer's Overall Ratings: 8.88 out of 10
Review Submitted: 2004-01-22


I bought these tires when upgraded my Type Rs wheel size to 16 x 7 from 15 x 6. I used to enjoy telepathic steering response from the stock Potenza RE010s and with these tires I feel like I am driving on JELLO. They suffer from terrible sidewall flex and extremely vague turn in. Overall steering response is HORRENDOUS. I can rate them highly for low noise, comfort and overall grip. But if you value razor sharp in and responsiveness, DO NOT BUY these tires, i recommend sticking with potenza series tires or PZeros. AamirCWITR @ Honda-tech.com."
