Although these aren't a full-autocross track tire, (and won't have that level of grip) the grip level is suitable for a sporty daily driver. When cornering, accelerating, and braking, the tires almost never make any noise during street use. When they do start to get near the limit of grip, they start to make noise and control is maintained. I noticed that the car would previously break traction when accelerating hard into second gear on my old, somewhat worn-out tires, it will not do so on these tires, which is great. The tires really come alive when cornering on an exit or on-ramp. If you are looking for a tire for mixed summer and autocross use, this would do both decently. The ride is unimportant to me, but I would definitely describe ride as firm. No abnormal noise concerns, distortions, weird wear, or other issues. Decent hydroplaning resistance for rainy conditions. These are definitely not appropriate for winter use.

So far, very happy, especially given the price. The only disappointment is a softer sidewall than I expected. The corners are very grippy and solid, but I get more side roll than I was getting from the H rated OEM tires. I just like the feeling of "riding on rails" when cornering. I drive aggressively when traffic conditions allow, and have done high performance track driving in the past, so I am a little biased. Nevertheless, I give a very strong thumbs up for the tires at their price point.

This tire performed well on my 2011 Mitubishi Lancer Evolution. Great in corners with no noise(at least not audible over engine/exhaust). Tread life could have been better, but I run a bit of camber so I expected short life. Absolutely scary in the rain!
