Size: 225/45/16
Compound: Medium
Weight: 21 lbs
Price: US$187

Test car: 75 3.0
Weight: 2850 with driver

Noise: 2/5
Grip: 4/5
Wear: 3/5

Notes:

Compared to Kumho Victoracer 225/50/16 these tires are comparable in grip. But longevity.....driver's side (for LHD cars) at Willow Springs raceway (clockwise) was not good. Should have listened to that Greek man about the Medium Hard compound. :x After 7 X 20-25 minute sessions, the driver's tires are down to about 40% in the center of the tire driver's side tires. Probably needs more air, but that is at the risk of making the tire be a little twitchy.

For heavy cars and to be competitve (but not super competitive) I would advice going with the medium hard compound.
