I bought a second hand car with these tire on it. In dry conditions they are quite normal. It is easy to reach their limit but they are linear and safe. In wet condition they are really dangerouse, it seems to drive on soap. If you force into corners the car doesn't bend ( i have grip control). In emergency brake tires doesn't oppose any resistance (The ABS runs costantly). I'm going to change them as soon as possible.
