The tread design looks like it is pretty good, it puts a lot of rubber down.
It doesn't look like a very good rain tire though, there aren't enough water
channels, so wet traction wouldn't be all that great, which is fine if you only
use them for autox, but if you drive daily on them they would have a higher
chance of hydroplaning than the Kumho Ecstas (which suck in the rain already),
or AVS Sports, or something like that. It doesn't say anything about tread
wear or the compound, so there's no way to know how sticky the rubber is
either. But based on the tread design, they would be pretty good for dry
weather driving.
