Back from the mountains!
Just wanted to update my experience w/ these tires. Drove @ 1,300 miles and was impressed w/ the compliant ride. It really helped to keep the car planted through mid-corner bumps and rough pavement. I do have some criticims, though. I noticed a slight vibration that increased w/ speed (may be a wheel balance issue). I am susceptible to motion sickness, but have not been afflicted when I was driving until now. Made it about 1/2 way through the Dragon and had to pull over. The added sway from the soft sidewall was just too much on this road. Sat down on a pull-off for about twenty minutes and took it somewhat easy until I saw the Killboy crew. Had to get on it a little. The tires performed really well on the somewhat relaxed curves of the Cherohala and the Blue Ridge Parkway. I could feel a little more roll compared to the 050's. Was on these same roads last spring when the car had @ 2,000 miles and was very impressed by how it just railed.
