I took those tyres on a race track day on Grobnik/Rijeka Croatia, they were overheating massively after 2-3 laps. Front pushed a lot, I had to deal with under-steer a lot. I went for tourist drives on Nordschleife/Nürburgring Germany. On the first day we had rain, shortly anything more than road legal driving pace (not on German Autobahn :) ) made the tyre act snappy and very hard to drive. Hardly any traction in straight or in the curves. Not so bad with aquaplaning though. Tyres are sort of OK for daily commuting. Wouldn't buy them, I've got them with vehicle.
