Just got a full set of these tires after having hankook s2 for a couple of years..very very good tires so hard to beat however, I'm really very pleased with them. Found dry grip great but these tires come into there own in the wet..water displacement fantastic..no aqua-planing whatsoever (seen cars in front sliding and slipping all over the place) and I've driven on some very wet and flooded welsh country roads :-) I'd definitely buy these again..well done maxxis.
