Your question was if anyone had them. And yup I do. Hughes swayed me to get these. I ended up getting them used off CVD. I'd say for the price, you get a great tire. I don't think I've heard anyone who's owned them, talk negetive about them. SO if you're trying to save a little money, I'd say give em a try!
I am running Kumho MX's (very nice tire) on the talon right now, Nitto 555DR's ready to go on shortly. The new Yokohama Neova's are supposed to be the new king for a true street tire.

Hit up Hughes though (S2Kracka), he knows a bit about tires.

I have some non drag radial Nittos that I bought 6 years ago. They sucked when they were new and they still suck now.

I have a set of Fuzion ZRi's on my car right now. They replaced a set of potenza re730's. The Potenza 750's are $140/tire and supposed to be similar to the 730's, and I like the ZRi's about as much as thhe 730's. So, for $99/tire, they're not bad!

The main advantage to the 750 over the ZRi is the stiffer sidewall. The 750 should also be a bit grippier in the dry and also have better wet traction.
I used to have Yokohama AVS ES100's on my Talon and liked them a lot. The wet performance was amazing. The ZRi's had every bit of the dry performance of the AVS's, but were not quite as good in heavy rain.
I had a set of Nittos on the VR4 before I got the Potenza RE 750's and I did not like them at all. Garbage in the rain and not the stickiest of tires in the dry. They were NT555's I think.
ES100's, ZRi's, and Sumitomos are all pretty good tires if you dont want to spend a lot. If you have a bit more money though, be careful. Its easy to spend a lot of money on junk when it comes to the middle and high end summer tires.
Dunlops are to be avioded and generally arent worth the rubber they're made out of.

Bridgestone Potenza S-03s 245/45/ZR18
There tires are awesome, I have never had a tire that performed as good as these all around. Normally if they are sticky as hell on dry pavement, they suck in the rain. These tires seem like they have no weakness other than treadwear. They last about 10k miles, but who cares that just one summer then they need to be replaced.
The one thing that sucks about these tires is the price tag, about 240 dollars new.

I have some nitto 555's on the VR4 because that's what it came with.
