I had them on my r53. 205/45r17, the web spoke wheels.
Dry grip is nice, quiet, last quite long(25k on it), thread is still deep.
Maintain air pressure well, looks really good, like the thick sidewall that protect the exp rims not that I ever curb anyway.
Cons; lots of hydroplaning on the highway if it rains hard. Must be due to its v shape thread pattern.

thanks for the responses.

I'm a little worried about driving in the wet, anybody else have any feedback on the wet handling of these tires?

thanks!

I have had them for about a year and have driven on them alot in the rain this past winter/spring. I like them very much and they have stuck like glue in the wet... they are the first set of non runflats I have had on my cooper though so I can't compare them to anything else. I would buy again in a heartbeat.

great in the rain, hence why i said ALL seasons. definitely not so good for all seasons in areas that see snow.
