Great dry weather handling as well as wet weather handling. These tires are not sticky but they aren't too slippery either, a fine compromise between performance and comfort with deep tread design which sports a couple of water channels to keep from hydroplaning and veering into an unintended trajectory. Scrubbing is minimal when cold on most surfaces. Sidewalls are not stiff, not soft, just right for commuter/performance package... road noise is prevalent but it's not loud enough to deter from purchasing again. I have have had these tires for over a month and they are holding up quite well and feel like they will last a few more summer seasons. I recommend the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT series for the price and quality.
