We have 2 sets in our family. Both are wearing far better than their excellent traction suggests they should. I prefer softer tires for their feel and traction characteristics. They grip in the wet similar to how a soft compound tire would, but they are not wearing quickly at all. One vehicle is a CRV, which my wife isn’t afraid to get a little peppy in. The other is our Lexus, which gets driven a bit Jekyll and Hyde - I’m usually very conservative with speed but enjoy the heck out of digging that RWD around a corner with a lot of power in the loop. as they age, the lateral grip, which is their weakest attribute in an otherwise superb tire, seems to be solidifying some. Frankly, most will not notice the deficiency, and I don’t mind it because it allows me to drift the vehicle at in-city speeds, similarly to how folks enjoyed VW beetles in the 70s. That said, as the rubber wears or hardens or whatever it’s doing, the lateral grip seems to be tightening up a little.
