I have these tires for almost a year now. Apart from having an AWD car with meagre output, I find that this tire grips the road pretty well both dry and in wet conditions. I notice too that shod with these tires, the car is able to take corners much faster than a lot of other cars (especially when exiting or entering the freeway), overtaking them with ease. When pushed harder some tire squeal can be heard but feel is progressive and inspires confidence in both wet and dry. Stopping distance is pretty good and noise level is very low.
In my opinion this tire is underrated and should deserve better recognition. Furthermore, it is very reasonably priced.

as my tire size has too much width, i used to have lots of roll on sidewalls with my last tires which were premium contact 5s. With this tire i experienced excellent handling and road feedback both in dry and wet. However i find out that it has a harder compound than contis and it does not feel like you're above clouds like conti does on cracked country roads. Other than that it feels really good. As i had only 3000 miles on them ,can't really comment on wear.

Very good tire in all conditions.
Good at dry, wet and cornering.
Also quiet tire.
Cant say anything about wear and long lasting, still using them with no sign of traction loss.
