>>>I've driven Geoff Peters GT5 Pantera with these tires, and they were 
fantastic, BUT they wore fairly quickly.   They are racing tires, super-sticky, 
and will pick up pebbles and fling them into the bodywork, just like race 
tires are supposed to.

Given that there is now a ready supply of Yokohama 285/40-15 front tires 
and Pirelli 345/35-15 rear tires, I would definitely go that route if I was 
planning to primarily drive my car on the street.   That's what Geoff switched 
to when he wore out his Michelins in about 5000 miles.
