1.) GT Radial Champiro UHP1 ($86 ea. @ Discount Tire)
2.) Tucson, AZ but moving to Ft. Lauderdale, FL
3.) Spirited driving/Commuting
4.) In Tucson 99% local/ FL 50/50 local and highway
5.) Previous tires were Falken Ziex ZE512
6.) Just put them on, but initially they are very sticky. In fact they have a 280 tread rating by GT and an increased silica compound by the manufacturer, but since it is a proprietary rating I don't know if its short, and it has no treadwear warranty. I am sort of breaking them in, so sound wise they are relatively quiet, but Tucson roads are the worst I have ever seen so its hard to say how quiet they really are. I will let you know down the road how they are in wet traction in Florida. They are pushing their marketing on youtube, and sort of try to show off some auto x and skid pad quasi tests, not too impressive though.

I only get a rattle on rough road, which is 90% of the roads here. But I love when I hit the smooth patches, its so serene for like 10 seconds.

Finally, a site that has a review of these tires and it sounds very promising.

It also has reviews of many of the tires that are popular on this site.
