Argument over the standards put aside, I'll say that these are good tires. Sure the Michelin are better, but the difference in price is not negligible. It's over 30% higher for a set, which is money that can be used for other maintenance items, or, say 10 tanks of gas where I live. If money is no object, great. But if you want good performance and don't have unlimited budget, these tires will suit you well. my car is rwd and with dinan stage 2, pushing upwards of maybe 350hp? I have not broken grip once on dry pavement no matter how hard I push the car (on public roads of course). Point being, they do a good job for most people at a substantial discount to the Michelins. I've been meaning to get a look at how they are wearing since it's been a while, so I will post back my mileage and tread depth when I get a chance.
