I bought these tires on the strength of the reviews on here and elsewhere. I have not been disappointed. These tires are quiet and comfortable and have bags of grip in the dry. Wet grip, however, was not as good as I was expecting. I've had Vredestein Sportrac 3 and Uniroyal RainSport 2 tires before, and they were both better in the wet, all the way down to 2mm. Currently, the Dunlops are on 4-5mm and the wet handling/cornering has dropped away quite a bit, leading to understeer on the many roundabouts here. I think this is largely due to the massive outer shoulder blocks. Still, they are great tires and the feedback is so good that you know when you are at the limit and understeer is coming! Wear has been better than I feared. The tires also look the part and for the price, are a performance bargain. I imagine with the dropping temperatures as winter approaches their performance will drop away, but that is to be expected with a summer tire. All in all, a great tire and I would recommend if you value grip, handling, quietness and feedback.
