This is a fact. They will last 500000 (OK, 50K) miles but can't grip the road. When I first saw them on my car the thought of a M+S tire made me chuckle. I never got around to changing them to Billboards. The biggest problem is they are so hard and thus really suck at cold temps and on cold pavement.

For the GT I got Bridgestone RE050A (Scuderia). If you can find them in the right size they are a remarkable improvement. Sticky enough that they stay on the ground and also a lot better in colder temps.
