They ran great at the auto-X (I got the shortest SVX laptime next to Harry's) and they are really quiet on the highway. I was just now looking up reviews from people in my area and they are supposed to be excellent in the rain and snow as well. For a "budget" tire they are as good or better than other tires at twice the price. I would highly recommend them to you!

Wow. What size HTR+ tires are you running? I've got a set of 225/45-17s on my 17" rims and they are deafeningly loud on anything but perfect asphalt. Wheel alignment is perfect, and tire pressures are between 35-39 psi.
