They also have a better ride and grip than the original tires. Somewhat quieter too. Not quite like Michelin MXV4's, but definitely better.
The size is almost perfect because like another poster said, size change affects your speedometer. My speedo is just about dead on now with the GPS. The difference is miniscule.
A side benefit, which I was hoping for, is improved gas mileage. My last tank was 41 mpg in normal driving. Usually I'm averaging around 38 mpg.
I really need to average this over a longer distance, but it is encouraging.
Usually a wider tire will lower your gas mileage. The rolling resistance offsets this.

Long term report? How is the handling with these tires?
I think they might be a great combo between mpg and handling.
Thanks
