I haven't driven on them hardly at all. I'll definitely be posting a review soon. I will say that they're not as uncomfortable as I imagine them to be, being so short. The car drives barely any different at all.

Would you be willing to share specs?
Just confirmed that the 265/30 Firehawk Indy doesn't rub at all on the suspension, which is a big surprise to me, as it's 9.2 wide whereas the standard 255/35 PS4S that everyone gets is only 8.9 wide, so I was pretty sure it was going to rub, but it doesn't! So those specs are perfect! And the rear has no chance of rubbing, so it's all good there.

OK, so I spent a bit of time with these tires today and I can say for sure that they are nearly as quiet, if not as quiet as the Michelin. They are nearly as comfortable, if not as comfortable as the Michelin. But for sure they have less grip. They grip the way I like my car to grip, which is a bit loose (I don't track the car). For an everyday driver that's going to last much longer, and is a lot less expensive to replace (and is beautiful for photography), it's an absolute win for me.

M Performance suspension. Unfortunately, to my eye, it needs to come down just a bit (for this particular wheel/tire look), and I'm at the bottom on the rears, so I'll have to sell it and get the KWV3. Damn suspension doesn't even have 5K street miles on it. Oh well.

How does it feel with 18' vs 19" on the MP Coils?

Seriously no more travel in the rear ?

Definitely needs to come down Slightly

They look smaller for some reason

Can't lower it more in the rear?

it's because they're grey. In my experience dark wheels always look smaller.

I have the MPS, and it's lowered all the way down in the rear, unfortunately. I've been searching for a way to lower it a bit more, all I need is 6mm! The front will come down easily.

Oh, and the car drives fantastic, tires are super quiet, great grip (but not too much grip), beautiful. These tires are one of the very best choices I've made for the car.
