Very Good Tire Especially For Price
I'm running these on 295/40/18 square on a 2013 Boss 302. I only have about 700 miles on them but I am quite impressed with dry and wet performance. Most people online hate on this tire because it's cheap and usually seen as a drift tire. While they were slick for the first hundred miles while the coating was wearing off, they've gripped up really well. I've taken it up in the hills and they have a predictable, controllable feel. I've done a couple of pulls from 5-60mph and they hook. Sure, they aren't as good as my old PS4s but anyone comparing the two are unreasonable when you look at the price difference. They have a smooth, comfortable, and relatively quiet ride. I'd consider them equivalent to NT555 G2's but better in the wet and cold. Drove it in mild rain at 40F no problem. The G2's were like driving on ice in those conditions.
Good sticky summer tires at a great price.
For the price these are good summer tires for my Lotus Super 7. The do squeal a lot more than I expected when pushed, but still have grip left.
Great tires
I've driven about 500 miles on them. They handle great. I haven't truly pushed them yet performance wise. I have a 70 elco with LS3. It still smokes em off the line but my suspension isn't set up for straight line traction. No road noise at all and have been great on windy roads. Will def buy again.

Best for heavier performance sedans for road trips
Tires used on rear of a C6 corvette Grand Sport that is heavily modified to 650 rear wheel HP. I was happy to find how comfortable these tires are on the road. I had to buy these in a hurry for an unplanned trip and it worked out great. These tires were softer than previous Hankook Ventus V12 tires, especially the sidewalls. At speed in wide sweeping corners, they would not set fully. I got a wiggly baby buggy feeling that makes you want to lift. They take too long and too much side travel before they hard set which makes you feel like you are on a slick wet or even icy surface. Not confidence inspiring. I never beat on them. No burn-outs or donuts. Got them near the limit and it was fine, but the trip there is a nail biter. Your reflexes want to lift or counter steer. You need to spend a lot of time acclimating to the behavior if you want to keep using them at the limit. I see why Drifters like these. With the throttle mashed and open room to flail, you could have lots of fun and learn to control the car in short order. The price point is unbeatable. For performance sedans, they would be best suited for comfy road trips and street abuse. Not your "at the limit" tire, however. 3/4 the performance at 1/2 the price compared to the top tiered brands.
Better than expected
One autocross and two track days later definitely not mad at the Kenda UHP. Traction is instant, which makes it great for autocross. With track day 20 minute sessions I find tires needed to cool down after 12-15 minutes. (Advanced solo driver) Tires get a little greasy when pushed hard and hot. Pressures rise quicker than the NT05s I was using prior. Treadwear is on par with 200 dot tires. I would say great purchase for auto crossers and good purchase for HPDE events. Definitely would choose something else for Time trials or Racing ventures But for a streetcar driving to the track, participating in the event, and driving home, these are fantastic.
