If the tires in question were BFG R1's then I would
agree with you Bob, but the tires listed on the
Tirerack website are listed as R1 *Rain Tires*.
>From all I've read and heard, the tread compound
difference between the two is quite substantial and
the R1 Rain tires don't work well at all when hot.
If you plan to use these as Rain tires only then
they'll be fine, otherwise, look at getting Kumho's or
g-Force R1's. Just my $.02
