I like them as well, when launching off the freeway on ramps I have a hard time getting them to break loose.
Here in San Diego we don't get that much rain but over the last couple of weeks we got a little, the problem here isn't allot of water on the roads but just enough to lift the oil and there you have it "slip-slide off the side", we see this all the time. I have had no problem at all with these tiers.
I agree that the tread pattern looks very good.
Nice and aggressive.
