I just put on a set of Route 66.
Decided to give them a try because of the reviews and lower cost. (Rear $97 vs $147 for Metzler (at least this time around))
So far, not impressed with the handling. It's OK, but nothing like the Metzler.
I don't hate 'em enough to pull them off (and I am way to cheap for that), but I really doubt I will be buying them again. I'll fork over the extra bucks for the Metzler. Besides, I want to see how long the Perelli's last.
Maybe I just need to get used to them.
I have Pirelli's...I love 'em but I can only compare tham to the crappy IRC's that were on it.
