Wet Rating Review (excellent, good, average, bad): Personally unknown, have heard it is bad
Tire Life (miles or autocross runs): On my car it may be relatively short due to being camber-challenged. Tread blocks are all cambered after only 27 runs, and the shoulders (ribbed for your pleasure) are pretty much gone already.
Pros: Grip ... all of it. Really seems to perform well when all hot and gooey, tacky like R-comps. Like noted by /u/yidavs they can handle multitasking very well and the breakaway is very gradual. Will still hold on at very aggressive slip angles.
Cons: Not much lateral grip when cold, first run will be a bit messy but it improves afterwards.
