I did some research and found some skid pad results. Of the 10 or so leading sport tires tested, these GY F1 GS D3s had the best wet/dry traction combination. The best dry was the BFG KDs, but they really took a back seat on the wet skid pad. Whereas, the GYs pulled only a couple tenths less Gs on the pad dry than the BFGs, but were almost as good on wet as dry - waaaaay better than the BFGs (wet).

They're quiet, and they stick extremely well, I find. I like um!
