Excellent grip, reduced noise levels. I cannot over emphasise the grip improvement, if I didn't know better I would have guessed by car had gotten a LSD fitted as there is little to no noticeable wheelspin on hard launches. Lateral grip has also seen a significant improvement, the nose tended to wash wide this is not the case anymore with predictable poise and frontend grip. When they finally to let go there is a very progressive nature and the car is easy to recover.

Good in all conditions so far
Ok I don't really think about it, fit and forget.
Exquisite
While using these tires throughout winter and spring in the north of Scotland, I wasn’t too impressed as they only felt marginally better than the Pilot Sport 4. Of course, spring gave way to summer and these tires absolutely love the heat. The traction feels like semislicks, the handling feed back is incredible, and paired with good brakes - the stopping force is wonderful! So far after 8000~ish miles these tires haven’t lost much tread either. These tires ultimately are summer tires so I’m happy to overlook their winter performance as it was still decent enough in the cold for spirited driving.
quiet in the dry, surefooted in the wet
Great grip in the wet, good comfort, responsive, road noise is also better.
No issues noticed. Seem to work fine
As previously mentioned. Very similar to the PS4’s but with even longer lasting grip.
Happy with the grip they offer, but balance a bit too much on understeer unless on brakes and I wish they would offer a bit if rim protection. Noise and comfort ok
