I had installed them last summer and performed well: they seemed to balance performance, comfort and quietness really well.
However, I had vibrations issues with them that could not be remedied, at around 75MPH. Numerous wheel balancing attempts did not help. The tire dealer replaced them with BF Goodrich Traction T/A's a week later. They vibrated much less (but I still get a very slight vibrations at 75MPH).
I might have hit a bad batch and I would have been extremely pleased with them had they not vibrated.
Also, for some reason, these cars are extremely sensitive to wheel balancing and others on this board have complained on high speed vibrations.
