They are also W rated so full delimit is a No-go, but the grip in dry is just shy of semi slicks.
The Advan Sport is there but it aint the Neova ....

In addition to better handling characteristics, both dry and wet, the fact that they're still usable after 10k is an improvement.
Of course, I don't know if they're available in the sizes you're looking for, or how they will feel on the lighter cars.

This is the rubber I want in 19"x285x30, disappointing its only W speed rated though.

I will be getting the REo50As installed this weekend in 255/35/19 and 285/30/19. Tire Rack felt the REo50 was better on dry and much better on wet then the Advan Sport. They said the Sport was a little smoother and quieter but not worth the performance loss. We'll see how they go. Both sets have a 30 day return policy if you don't like them.

Anyone tried the Toyo TR-1? I hear it is a good tire, very soft with lots of traction, but mediocre tread wear. For the price they seem like a bargain.
