Put these on today, noticed a big difference in traction...even in the wet suprisingly (my old tyres where shit so not that much of a suprise).
With the old tyres, i would spin in dry weather once i hit about 4.5k to redline in first gear, with these there was nothing.
As far as noise goes, they dont seem to be too bad. I can't hear them when the car is in gear, but when i put the clutch in i can hear a slight sorta whine. Not too loud to make it a problem.
Thanks for all the advise.
