Message as well as any of the other 4 of 5 sets of tires I've had over the years. I run them at 33-35 psi and they do fine. I can hammer them @ 15psi in 3rd once warmed up and they usually hold traction. If the road has a lot of nasty expansion joints and I'm at highway speed and downshift into 3rd and romp it they will struggle for traction a little bit over the bumps, but them grip OK as speed increases. If I give them full boost (15psi) abruptly in 2nd gear they break free, but that's expected IMO. They don't squeel, or I'm not approaching their limits, but I try to drive a bit less agressively than I used to before my TT swap.

They do poorly on cool mornings before they are warmed up when it's wet out on the roads, especially from a stop and trying to pick up speed fairly quickly. Just not going to happen. But they never claim to be a wet weather tire, so you can't hold that against them. They seem to do pretty well on wet highways as long as there isn't standing water.
