Good tire with lots of grip. If you're looking to race the car, it's just what you want for the street. They're not that great in the rain, but when they are still 3/4 or more tread it's manageable. Once you get past that they start to lose grip noticeably, wet and dry. Mine are just about on the bars in the back and within 1 mm on the front and the grip has really suffered. Don't expect to get more than 15,000 miles out of the them if you drive seriously. I wouldn't run anything else, the grip is awesome. I don't really notice any noise issues. Absolutely unuseable in the snow.
