I think they're great for dry traction and the price is pretty much unbeatable. In the rain they are very bad

i like mine in dry traction a lot actually. Almost as good as the previous bfgoodrich kdw2 tires. But they do suck in the cold. I don't have problems in the rain loke other people on this site either. It's perfect in rain and even snow.

Werd... driving in the rain felt like I was just skating on water or something.

The dry traction was decent but I noticed a nice improvement when I got Dunlop Direzzas. Even better with Azenis.
