They stick good in a straight line but I hated them in the turns. Very soft sidewalls and no steering feel.

I agree, for that kind of $$$ you can have BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 wich give much better steering feel.

I love the Bridgestone Pole Positions, decent in rain, mad grip in dry and a very good autocross tire.

I use them I don't really know the differences in the tires they don't seem to hook that well to me my car easily slides when hitting the gas with no ESP and they don't last very long. I bought them because my friend works for Toyo and I got them cheap.
