i recently just purchased these and they seem pretty sticky. with all the rain that has been pouring in the past few weeks, i've been able to test them out in the rain and they seem pretty responsive in the rain. i drive like a granny in the rain though so i don't think my opinion really matters, lol.

noise is noticeable, good tire for the price. wear rate depends on your driving.

do not track them tho, they will crumble and get greasy with the temps.

i have these... they're great for the street... a lot more comfortable/grippy than the stock potenzas

as mgl said though, they're a little noisy... it's not noticeable for the most part though unless you have the windows up, radio off and paying close attention to road noise

for reference... i've used toyo t1s too and i prefer these (although never compared on the track so consider this advice for street setup only)
