Compared to SC6, PS4, PZ5 and two semi slicks (NS-2R, AD09):

Best wet grip, miles ahead of the others except PZ5 which was reasonable close behind. Even in standing they feel sticky, outstanding honestly.

Dry grip not quite as good as PZ5 but the cornering feedback was nicer imo, more solid. Could spin in 2nd with 350 hp and short gears but nothing after, PS4's span in 3rd idk what the hype was.

Wear is shockingly poor, comically bad even compared to 200TW semi-slicks. Only lasted about 5 month and less than 6000 miles. Probably the reason they're so good in wet. Wont be buying again for the price since PZ5's are the same price and already outlasted with >5mm left (compared to 1.8mm in the same time span). PZ5's are much lighter too if you're chasing hp to weight.
