Not really. They just very expensive and will not last for long. Performance wise they are in the 3rd place after Goodyears and PS2.

Most of the tires have some good features and could not be judged to be losers. Each indiviudal just needs to decide which mix of features is best for him or her. In my case, I emphasized performance and lightness and completely ignored price when getting my PS2s. Also, your factory tires are RTF's aren't they? The tire test did not consider RTF's--which is a whole different issue.
