Outstanding grip, these tires handle heavier cars very well, amazing grip not only in corners, but in putting power down on exit and braking. treadwear is great for what i ask of them, and they handle heat cycles very well too. drove home in the wet once, when almost bald in front (half life), although i was careful, I still didn't have any real hydro planning issues and they handled just fine, although i did get nt-05's for wet. on my second set, one of the only tires outside of full slicks that will let me use 2nd gear on corner exit....
