Very good. Depends what car they're going on though as they don't deal with water very well on bigger cars.
Heavier cars like mine will be aquaplaning all over the place when it's wet, where something like a flyweight exige et al will be fine unless it's deeper standing water.
Amazing in the dry, rediculously grippy.

Depends what you are used to, much better than road tyres, not a patch on slicks, wear really really quickly on fwd hatches with a bit of poke, 1- 2 track days on fronts, but seem to last ok on rwd even with quite a lot of power.
seloc e30 racers found they needed massive neg camber to get good & even wear on fronts.

I concur with the FWD assessment - 230bhp and no slip diff meant that mine have worn quite badly over 3 airfield days on the fronts. However still loads of grip. They were on the new (at the time) surface at Goodwood, even when it rained, until I pushed to hard and had a little trip into the kitty litter 
.
They are a massive improvement over full road tyres and there are plenty of Wheel/tyre deals out there for them.

Simplys deal before end feb for same size was £200 inc p&p for 4 & they turned up next day, excellent service & nice fella to do business with.
Last set I got via a race series supplier, thought I got a mega deal, way cheaper than camskill were at the time for example, but for current set simply was very significantly cheaper.

Been thinking about getting a set of these for the Focus RS, only thing that worries me whilst the car is pretty much a weekend toy and as such get driven in all weathers what are they like to live with on a day to day basis with the odd trackday? Are they still alright in the wet - obviously not pushing on too much.
