Really hardcore and people should understand this, it's not the kind of tyre you want your wife or someone inexperienced to be driving with. It might be OK in the LA where there's less chance of rain but in Europe or even Florida I would be a little concerned about driving with these on when the heavens opened.

It's a little bit surprising to find the in Europe they are standard on 19" and not an option for someone to tick with full knowledge of what they are getting.
