I've had these on the Neon for over a month now and I'm very happy with them. I've got them in 195/60R13 size with about 7.5mm of tread depth left. They've got a 380 wear rating and and A temperature and traction ratings.
With 32 psi in them they ride smoothly don't seem to "slap" on cracks or expansion joints. Overall they are reasonably quiet and make much less noise than my snowtires and probably a bit less than my last set of cheap all-seasons. With a single nylon sidewall ply they aren't "sharp" handling but the ultimate level of grip is way above my all-seasons and they don't seem to roll over much even at the limits. A good compromise for a street tire I think. Wet traction is also better than my all-seasons and my snowtires.
I did run them for one autocross and they did OK but I'll use my R-compounds in the future for dry events.
These are my first set of summer tires and I like their lack of compromises for winter driving. I think I will now get dedicated summer tires from now on and just be sure to put the winter tires on before there's any chance of snow.
