I have the II series in the rear and III series in the front, and have had good results in moderately aggressive driving.

Then, last week, after a light rain, a taxicab far to my right on the parkway suddenly went sideways, then skidded 2 lanes over directly in front of me. I was going about 55 mph. I hit the brakes, and thanks to ABS and these tires, was able to swerve around him, missing him by about ten feet. He hit the center median. Could have been really bad.

Also recently, I drove through heavy rains at about 60-65 mph and did not experience any hydroplaning.

However, these tires come with a manufacturer's warning that they are NOT intended for winter. Maybe they turn as hard and slippery as hockey pucks. Has anyone tried driving them in snow and/or single-digits F ?
