So far so good and I haven't put these to the test yet as I'm breaking them in right now. I've driven with these tires for about 1000 miles and the are soft to the touch so good grip but probably won't get but 10,000 miles out of them. I installed them on a 2009 Porsche cayanne turbo s with 550 hp and a bit heavy at 5200 lbs and they stop well on dry ground and corner good but for a faster than daily driver as I wanted to get familiar with them before taking hard turns at very high speeds and the occasional spin in the open field with prolonged burnout getting back into a straight position to let it loose. The look is basic but safety is my concern
