Federal SS595 SUPER STEEL rated 74% while driving a Ford Mustang gt
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
These tires are unbeatable at this price point. They perform very well, and are sticky. The drawbacks are they’re loud and they wear out fast. These tires are fine in the wet, they resist hydroplaning very well. Not sure why people are complaining about the wet performance, you’re not really supposed to take corners hard in the rain, no matter what tires you have. For normal rain driving, they’re very good and don’t hydroplane easily. I can deal with the noise, and the quick wear based on how cheap they are. I even had to use them in the snow a few times and they did fine. Bottom like, they look great, and perform great, but they’re noisy and they wear fast. Id definitely buy them again, I am on my 2nd set

Goodyear Eagle NCT5 rated 86% while driving a Volvo S40 1.6d
Driving on mostly motorways for 50000 easy going miles
Great wearing tire. I have them on since I got the car, Volvo S40 1.6D. I've put 50,000miles on them. Can't complain about grip, wet or dry. On the expensive side. Changing now but going for the Vredestein Sportrac 5.
