These tires hook great in the dry. I have a ‘68 C10 that is LS swapped that is my daily driver and these tires cause me no problems. Most of the driving I do in these tires is around town but I always do pulls and launches occasionally. For launching/drag racing, these tires hook surprisingly well. When I’m at almost redline rpm and shift to the next gear, these tires don’t even chirp. They are very comfortable and smooth riding, and make hardly any noise (that I can tell because my engine is loud). In the rain, these tires will hook up when you want them to but if you downshift and blip the throttle they will definitely spin. Cornering in these tires feels pretty good. Steering responds well, but I don’t know a lot about the cornering because I haven’t pushed these to their limit before. As far as snow and ice goes… with my experience driving a rear wheel drive truck that is light in the rear end, and has a manual transmission, these tires do hardly anything in the snow, and absolutely nothing in the ice. However, this is largely due to the weight of the rear of my truck, because the front tires on it were staying planted the whole time the back was sliding around. So for the money, these tires are the best you’re going to get.
