I have driven these tires in wet and dry, bumpy country side and highways, city commuting, you name it. Dry grip and braking are very good and predictable, a bit lower than Pirrelli 6000 and Michelin Primacy, to be honest. On wet surfaces this tire punches above its weight, gives You a bit more confidence than You should have. A bit better than Kleber Dynaxer HP4, and less progressive, but still much, much better than similar budget tires. Noise is quite low, suits the big soft C5, but I wouldn't mind a bit more feedback. I am on 12.000 miles in 2 years and I see no signs of premature or excessive wear. Maybe it wears faster than previous models, but I think it will reach 30.000 miles no problem. Given the price tag at 55% of Yokohama BE, and 75% of Lassa Rev, I see this as really big bang for the buck.
