I think due to the fact that they were pretty new at the time I purchased them. I also was stupid enough to buy them from a Firestone dealer so I paid their markup as well. They wouldn't give me a deal either. A couple weeks after I had them put on, I saw an ad in Tire Rack for the same size at $149. I paid $199 plus mounting/balancing/stems etc. The only thing they gave me was free road hazard for nails and such. I just can't believe the price you can have them for now!
When I said cold and wet I meant temps in the 40-50-60 degree range with wet roads. Not raining but early morning/late night wet kind of roads. The tires just felt hard and not very grippy in these conditions.
And you're right, I probably did drive that car harder than I should have.
Later,
Shahn
