They feel more secure in hard cornering, felt more comfortable going faster than stock tires. I've never pushed them far enough to break-away so no info on that yet.
When I first pulled out of the tire place there was lots of traffic so I punched it somewhat and got a little wheel spin. Since then I've accelerated pretty hard without spin, good traction. Haven't tried a wide-open max start yet.
Driving down the road I think you feel the road more, including the bumps and ridges, but these tires don't dart back and forth like the BFG's - the stay stable and moving straight.
They are asymmetric with outside / inside specified. The deep grooves are wider than I expected, should be good in rain but haven't driven in rain yet.
