Pros: Relatively good looking tread pattern. Cheap. They were only about $79 per tire on Tire Rack. Pretty good dry traction. Relatively stiff sidewall for such a low priced tire. Good steering response. Have not had a chance to test them in the rain yet, as Ive only got about 500 miles on them.
Cons: Pretty loud around the 40-55mph range, they sound like big truck tires when coming to a stop too. The tread ware rating is only 400 so Im not expecting much more than 25k out of these, but for the price thats to be expected.
