You specifically mentioned in your OP that you were not looking for information about track usage, so I didn't mention any.

These are the only tires I've run on my FD for some time, so I can't tell you how they compare to others. I can tell you that they are a relatively hard tire, so you can get decent mileage out of them unless you're lighting them up at every intersection. Which to me is good for a street tire.

In the wet the traction falls off quickly, and if it is wet and cold you should stay home. Despite that, they do seem to be quite stable in standing surface water (say long puddles in the highway grooves).

The only track experience I've had with them is 2 or 3 autoX's. They aren't particularly grippy, but the sidewalls are very stiff (at least in the sizes I'm running) and I found them to be very consistent and predictable.
