I would say that I have not been disappointed with the Dunlops on the highway or the track. Turn in, grip, handling, minimal road noise - it's all amazing! I rarely drive this car in the rain and never in snow but when caught in an unexpected rain, I do not feel hydroplaning. I would like to see how the tires wear. I'm pleased very much so far.

With a little extra camber added to the front and rear wheels, they seem to be wearing excellent! Grip on track is quite good and they handle very well in wet conditions. On track, you certainly don't want to be aiming for standing water, but they grip well on wet asphalt. Tire noise is a little louder than other tires I've driven on. Of course, I'll buy them again!
