Excellent especially in the dry and for an all-season tyre, and with a very progressive handling.
I cannot over-exaggerate how can a human-invented substance have so much grip.

Even at the racetrack, these tyres are unbelievable.
As an example, you can check my lap at the Nordschleife on Youtube, under the title:
"Peugeot 205 1.1i (60 HP) - Nürburgring Nordschleife BTG lap in 10'19" on all-season tyres".
