They are marketed as having a low RR -- so far, snow traction is excellent, compared to a similar (low RR and sized) Michelins and a set of new BFG's on the TSX. I'm not crazy about the aspect ratio, but the 15" wheels should add a little more "sport" than the 14s.

I had a beef with a defective Dunlop tire that blew into 2-sections on a new Civic in '96 -- it involved a call from their attorney instead of customer service (and just how rudely they handled the claim). Since then, I vowed not to buy another Dunlop, but I suppose Honda did on my behalf this time (shakes fist). Hopefully they have improved in quality...

Have you settle in yet on the ride? I had Dunlops on the Mazda.
Warmers temps this week hows she doing?
