Compared to other tires I have ever used: These are absolute carbage. No wet grip at all. Useless tires.

What drivers say about their 200/55 R16 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I wasn't happy with summer Sava HP2 so I was looking for something better for my wifes car... For a moment I wanted to go all in on Michelin or Conti, but Nokian had a great price they did well on tests.
After first 1000km I am not dissapointed, they seem to be a really solid tires. They are not uhp tires, but they feel safe and predictable in all conditions.
I really can't explain why anyone would leave bad feedback for these tires. We paid $350 tax included + install for four of the 205/55/16 for our Corolla and were blown away by the value. After 35KM the tires barely looked like they were worn. They worked great on dry or wet roads, but took them off before the snow came so can't comment on that.
