Wrong. Car and Driver and Consumer Reports both rate them highly. I have run them on two vehicles, a 370Z and Jag S Type R and was very pleased. They are not the absolute best tire available, but they are 90-95% at a 40% discount. But hey if you Auto-X or like to **** away money knock yourself out.

Luls, you are actually the first person I ever read saying that about these tires. Chances are, you probably bought a defective tire w/ a bubble or something and failed to go back and get it replaced through warranty...

Or you bought a set of Optimo 418s...

Give them another chance.
