Rubber is great. Derzhak in the wet is excellent, the grip is super! The rubber is quiet and comfortable, suitable for racing in good weather, even though there are no studs. I have it on a rear wheel drive car. Before buying, I watched video reviews, looked at the ratings, but still decided to buy them. The price played a role. I have been driving quietly for 2 months now, in order, complete silence, the road keeps excellent. On wet pavement behaves much better than studded tires.
