...or atleast this is what i've decided.
#1, they are not nearly as loud as many tires in that size, low profile tires are not that quite normally.
#2, they grip like crazy IMO and wear extremely well (as in last long, not saying they wear fast), so far we have 22k on our aero and there is PLENTY and i mean it, PLENTY of tread left which surprises me, this is something i can't say for the potenzas on our TT or most other tires like this which are getting near the end of their life (within' 5k miles or so) @ about 19k mile.
You can go with a cheaper tire for like 150, but it may cost more in the long run if they wear faster, and you lose the nifty rubber curb guard lip that helps protect your rims when parking and such (they DO work too).
Sorry for making this so long, but i wanted to fit everything in.
