Nothing unusual, a normal product.

ran a front-wheel-drive Hyundai Tussan for one season. Measurement R16 215/65. Rubber is obviously not made for racing because it is quite noisy (and makes driving very tiring), unstable on my car at speeds over 100, and not fond of ruts.
On the plus side, it rows nicely everywhere and the noise on dirty roads fades. I can generally advise those who travel mostly on unmaintained roads and a small amount on highways. Definitely bring a different rubber for the track.

Pros

Durable, performs well on slush, and brakes predictably at city speeds on any surface. Not a single spike flew out during the entire season.

Cons

- noisy. NO, LOUD! I initially believed that all 4 bearings had broken when I put it on. Running made things quieter, though the track was still incredibly noisy. - the car on the track is not stable after 100 mph (I would chalk it up to my car's flaws and front-wheel drive, but this was not the case with the old, bald tires) - doesn't like the rut very much.
