Definetly grippy, I had these on my daily driver/weekend track car for a season. Better wet traction than some tires have dry, and snow traction is excellent as long as you have more than 60% or more of the tread left. Breakaway is a little sudden, so if you push the limits at speed, you may want to look at something that will give a little more warning. |

The Dunlops seem to handle pretty well, but that's hard to say considering that they are on a 1966 Ghia. I mean it doesn't handle like my '01 Mustang GT did, that's for sure. |
