From sources I've "heard" that the tires are worthless. If you want good sticky tires and don't want to take out a loan to do so, from presonal experiance (for whatever that's worth) I recommend both Sumitimo HTR200's (on my stock -SE rims) and Kuhmo 712's (on my AM rims). Both very good tires for the back roads and highways.

I only buy Yokohama high end for all 4 of my Jap sports cars. They are sticky & last far longer than you might think.

I use them on my everyday cars and get great tread life. Don't know how they would react on a 7, though.
