Had a pair of these fitted to the front of my Kat this morning, running standard props and moving from a pair of T1-Rs. Paid £240 for a set of four at ATS, which turns out to be cheaper than anywhere I could find online once you factor in fitting etc. However I think it should have been less than this, supposed to be £66-67 per corner -25% for buying four.
Impressions of ATS: quick once they get to your car, not what I'd call a job done with a lot of attention to detail though. They did hand torque the wheel nuts when they finished, however balancing was done with clip on weights rather than the newer sticky sort, and was done very quickly. They don't actually seem unbalanced, however this may be more luck than anything else.
In short, would I go back to ATS? Probably not.
Immediate impressions of the tyres: a lot less road noise, I hear more engine and less rumble/drone now.
Seem to be reasonably sticky in the dry, plus it rained on the way home and they were unfased.
Hopefully these will last longer than the T1-Rs too, they did just over 8000 miles, these are reputed to be a lot better.
