This was my experience with them. They allowed me the opportunity to understand the car's limits with good feedback (read: noise). It's not until you've driven on crazy ultra high performance tires that you'll start to understand terms like " greasy" where the tire literally gives you no feedback until it has lost its connection with the ground. It really feels like when you drag a crayon on paper; there's hardly a way to see how you to go where you are or how to fix it, since the grip is lost and the suspension can't give you feedback either.

These tires are like a sincere, but weak spirited partner- they may not be tolerant of your needs and the relationship probably won't last long, but at least they tell you what they're getting fed up with. Better than a super loyal partner who will just divorce you suddenly and you don't understand what you did wrong.
