They were rated toward the bottom of a tire test that was done here by Euro Tuner magazine. The Pilot Sport PS, Goodyear GSD3, Bridgestone RE050 and Dunlop Super Sport Max all performed better.

Do you happen to know the month of that issue? I just had these put on my car cause my S02s were toast and I was afraid to drive on them and they couldn't get me the S02s fast enough for my liking. My fault for not preordering from tirerack but the cash was low at the time. Anyways so far they seem to be alright. The only noticable thing I could feel was in corners at high speeds it felt like the sidewall wasn't stiff enough. Other than that they handle better in wet conditions and seem to do ok on dry compared with my SO2s. I don notice my back end is a bit more twitchy but that also could have to do with me only driving on them for a month now. They seem to be getting better every day.
