I have put a lot of abuse on these tires and I continue to be impressed with them, given the price I paid for them at the time. I got these when they were new on the market for 70usd a piece(now nearly double that), which for most tires... is the range you do not want, but these have proven themselves to be otherwise.
Street, dry, traction is impressive for what they are and the noise or squeal through corners... well honestly I have trouble getting them to make any noise below 50mph through a hard corner. Wheelspin is also impressive given the tread rating. I have put over 15k miles on them with -2 or more camber at all times and the tread is still above 60% despite being tracked multiple times and daily driven.
Street, wet, we all know that in wet that tires will lose a lot of traction... however these tires specifically give no indication of going past their limits and simply put, one minute you have traction and the next second you dont. If you take a corner too fast with these in the wet you WILL lose traction, on the front it will understeer, on the rear it will oversteer and if you have them on all four corners you will slide into the curb. These are not tires for going fast in the wet.
Street, snow, quite honestly.. I am VERY surprised at how well they grip in snow and ice given that they are a summer tire exclusively. Being said given their wet traction I would not push these tires, but you shouldnt have to worry about them losing traction IF you drive respectably.
Dragstrip, dry, traction is again like the street impressive despite the tread rating. They grip considerably well except on heavy 5k+ launches, wheelspin is minimal compared to other tires of the same range.
Circuit, dry, as above traction is decent and the noise through cornering is a lot lower than some other tires. They just refuse to squeal as much as some Pirellis I've used. You can feel when they are about to give on the track, compared to the street where you never really reach that breaking point; and as opposed to wet where it simply snaps off.
Overall, for the price the performance given is remarkable, not many tires in this pricerange can offer the same level of performance. Normally tires in this range make you feel like you're driving a TVR Tuscan with bald tires, which IS scary, these however do not feel like that at all. Well worth the money if you need a GOOD cheap tire.
Obviously these will not grip as much as Goodyear Eagle F1s, or Bridgestone Potenzas, but for what they are they are good tires.

Poor to average grip in the dry. After a little warm up they could handle relatively heavy driving, though it was still easy to spin the rear up if too enthusiastic.
They're just a menace in the wet. Half throttle at low revs would get the rear spinning and fishtailing.
They feel like they're made of wood, which probably explains the long life and the lack of grip. Incorrectly marketed as a performance tyre. As a long-life commuter tyre, they'd be fine. As a performance tyre, they're rubbish.

For what it's worth, my 300zx TT has 245/45 Nexen N3000's all round and the bottom line is that the rear in the wet is just "not funny" dangerous. So, if you have a performance RWD car, either don't drive in the wet or drive like an OAP. In my case, the latter. Great price however, just the grip is always on my mind.
The front tyres need replacing and so will probably move the rear's to the front and go for quality rear tyres. Originally it had Bridgestone Potenza's on it, and they worked an absolute treat. Would prefer peace of mind over the budget in this case.

Put simply these are budget tires and are HARD compound, meaning if you're looking for a good mileage tire then these are for you. If you have any kind of sportscar then steer clear of these tires, their traction is absolute garbage if you have power and you will spin through gear changes on the street without trying.
Street, dry, fairly decent grip... for the price, however I still spin the tires through 1st and 2nd under 45mph which is appalling. Compared to other tires the noise is minimal, and tread wear is impressive considering how much I've spun these tires, but again these are 420 tread rating and hard.
Street, wet, honestly driving with these in the rain scares me, if I go outside of its boundaries even once the tires lose all traction and I begin to slide.
Dragstrip, dry, To put it bluntly, do not use these tires if you plan to drag race... EVERY launch I did over 2k revs was making them spin like crazy in first gear, and this is after I had used Bridgestone Potenzas and even at a 6 grand launch I had no wheelspin. The last time I used these at the track was when I launched at 3k, spun slap through first gear and nearly got sideways...
Dragstrip, wet, NO, just DONT.
Circuit, dry, honestly I've never used a more frustrating tire on a road circuit. The squeal through every corner regardless of speed, and again because of the compound.... they lose traction very easily, I spun the car I don't know how many times and finally called it a day.
Overall.... Cheap tire, decent tread life, LOW performance. If you need a cheap tire and something to last a long time, these will do that fine... if you need a tire for performance, please get something over 100 bucks.
I threw these away after getting an "exhibition of speed" ticket from the tires chirping on a gear change. Consider yourself warned.

Personally I have to say that this is the worst tyre I have ever had on a car. Not only does in not grip in wet or dry conditions but they're also quite expensive compared to other tyres. Very unsatisfied. WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN!!!
