Interesting, I read probably a hundred reviews or more including from track day guys, Auto-X, and even professional comparo's and none of them had anything bad to say about these tires in the dry. The weaknesses noted were wet grip and wear in comparison to the top of the max summer performance tire heap at 2x the cost. Some of the professional reviews mentioned that the III is a big improvement over the II and the fact that Sumitomo is owned by and takes advantage of Dunlop technology.
