Dry Grip - never had any drama or issue's. They were flawless, however never gave a feeling of security, likely due to the harder compound and vague feedback.
Wet Grip - very poor for the type of tire this aims to be. I found that I would often have "oh sh*t" moments with these in the wet, and frequently it'd feel like I was going to lose the front even at a slow pace. Look elsewhere if you want good wet weather performance.
Road Feedback - I felt these offers poor feedback until they were on the edge of grip. They hardly let you know what is going on until they are starting to slip. In the wet for example, they do not communicate anything until they are starting to slip. At this point however, they actually communicate quite well.
Handling - these tire's tip in nicely and are quite predictable once you get used to their numb feedback, as they are very consistent tire's.
Wear - very disappointing for sporty commuting tires. I got just over 5k at the rear when I needed to start thinking about replacing them, was barely 1mm off of the minimum depth indicator, on a sub 140kg 125cc with 15hp... Not impressive at all.
Comfort - not amazing but not bad, feels overall like a pretty stiff tire but isn't outright uncomfortable.
Buy again - personally, I was looking at getting different tire's near enough the whole time I had these on my bike. I wanted something with more confidence, the only thing that stopped me was the fact I was going to be selling the bike and wouldn't get my money's worth out of a new set. The 100/80/17 130/70/17 sizing of my bike's tires also made it difficult to find many higher end tire options. But I wanted to get some Pirelli Diablo Rosso III's. However, for the price and how much grip they have in the dry, as well as they relatively playful handling, these are definitely the not bad.
