On a Miata, they are somewhat slower on a track than Kumhos, but they
behave well and predictably. Again on a Miata they aren't noticeably
noisy or harsh on the highway, but that's hardly the best test
environment. Work ok in the wet, don't know about standing water;
treadwear is acceptable for the price. One oddity is that they are
asymmetric but not directional, so one side of the car is spinning
backwards - don't know how that affects standing water driving but it
induced a very minor right drift in my car. Would definitely buy again.

Before my time. They seem most comparable, to me, to the A032R, even
the tread pattern looks similar; and that tire isn't normally considered
very competitive either.
