So far I absolutely love these tires. The turning feels incredibly direct. They cushion all sorts of bumps and dampen the suspension, so there's not a lot of movement afterwards. They're also really quiet. They're not magical but compared to the previous MXM4 they're at least a bit quieter on every surface and on some like longitudinally grooved concrete the difference is staggering. Dry grip is a big improvement, wet grip is a massive improvement, but the way the car shifts weight around corners is by far the biggest improvement. The old tires had delayed turning response and it felt like the car dove into every corner and then bobbled around like a bobblehead after, whereas these just rotate the car like you'd expect.
Efficiency is noticeably worse, but that's comparing new tires to worn ones and things may improve. It's not a massive hit in terms of actual consumption especially on the highway, but the tires just feel stickier than the MXM4s.
Haven't had much heavy rain yet but what I have driven through was a complete non-issue and it felt like I had nearly as much grip as in the dry. No snow yet either but I'm not expecting them to blow me away in the snow just to be better than the last ones.
I wasn't sure how I felt about the looks at first but I enjoy the little golf ball dimples on the sidewall and possibly because of how much I like driving on them they have really grown on me over time. They don't have a ton of rim protection but there is a little. So far they're by far my favorite tires I have driven on in a model 3.
