*Very solid tires for wet, light snow performance. Performance in deep snow / blizzard conditions still admirable and you can still drive around.
*The tires have broken in officially and they feel great. Ride comfort, cornering, stability all high marks. Yes, they are less rigid than RFTs, but that's a good thing. They are also quiet.
*Have tested high speeds up to 155 MPH. Done it a few times without an issue, and have complete confidence in its performance. You cannot beat this set-up for the price, I'm sure Michelins are great but they also come with a hefty price tag.
*Worried about FLATS, get the SLIME tire emergency package on amazon - comes with a air compressor for just $29.99. Beat that BMW Mobility Kit :P

*Silent tires at all speeds up to 120mph so far. No vibrations. Turn-in and feel are good but not as stiff as the RFTs. To be expected, softer sidewalls. Happy with the rigidity regardless, even on normal inflation as indicated on door sills.
*Dry traction is great, but not as good as the RFTs I don't think. Then again, maybe it's the tires still breaking in...
*Wet traction is excellent, even when accelerating hard out of turns and straights. Blitzes the RFTs in the wet, complete confidence when powering through.
*Snow traction none to report yet.
