They feel precise and easy to drive on dry and wet roads, no aquaplaning on speeds of 100 kph / 60 mph, not too noisy, but there is more silent options available, not saying those more silent ones are better on wet.
For a cheap tire, they offer a lot of bang for the buck and are made well, from good materials.
Fresh rubber, they dont stand many months/years in storage before being sold.
