Put simply these are budget tires and are HARD compound, meaning if you're looking for a good mileage tire then these are for you. If you have any kind of sportscar then steer clear of these tires, their traction is absolute garbage if you have power and you will spin through gear changes on the street without trying.
Street, dry, fairly decent grip... for the price, however I still spin the tires through 1st and 2nd under 45mph which is appalling. Compared to other tires the noise is minimal, and tread wear is impressive considering how much I've spun these tires, but again these are 420 tread rating and hard.
Street, wet, honestly driving with these in the rain scares me, if I go outside of its boundaries even once the tires lose all traction and I begin to slide.
Dragstrip, dry, To put it bluntly, do not use these tires if you plan to drag race... EVERY launch I did over 2k revs was making them spin like crazy in first gear, and this is after I had used Bridgestone Potenzas and even at a 6 grand launch I had no wheelspin. The last time I used these at the track was when I launched at 3k, spun slap through first gear and nearly got sideways...
Dragstrip, wet, NO, just DONT.
Circuit, dry, honestly I've never used a more frustrating tire on a road circuit. The squeal through every corner regardless of speed, and again because of the compound.... they lose traction very easily, I spun the car I don't know how many times and finally called it a day.
Overall.... Cheap tire, decent tread life, LOW performance. If you need a cheap tire and something to last a long time, these will do that fine... if you need a tire for performance, please get something over 100 bucks.
I threw these away after getting an "exhibition of speed" ticket from the tires chirping on a gear change. Consider yourself warned.
