Acura RL Tire Review Highlights
Well, it's been long enough to form an Opinion. i bought these as replacement for the Run Flat RE050A bridgestones I had. I went into the purchase knowing they were going to be utter crap so i only replaced the front two on my FWD sedan with these so that the rear end wouldn't go spinning out of control. as I suspected they were almost like driving with grease on the road in the first 150-200 miles.
I say that few miles because I spent most of it, in the dry, with the traction control off, and spinning the life out of the tires to get some wear and heat cycles into them. after about 3-4 days, the tires started to stick really nicely. never had a problem in the rain and they're pretty progressive if you're careful... They're a lot better than the Federal SS595 tires i ran a while back, but they suffer from the same trait... You have to drive on them pretty hard initially to get some heat built up before trying some slick maneuvering. If you're on cold tires, they'll slide a great deal.
Overall, I wouldn't buy them again, but I'm not disappointed for the price I paid.
