In the dry they are perfectly okay - but due to the hardness of the rubber they perform very poorly in the wet. Negotiating wet roundabouts and accelerating from standstill frequently induces wheel spin causing the anti skid system to kick in. If you use them in parts of the world that sees little rain then you'll get good mileage and they'll give you a safe drive - if not caution will be needed in the wet.

They provide a satisfactory level of performance in the dry but are very poor in the wet, especially on roundabouts - to the point of giving no confidence at all. I suspect the clue to the designed purpose of the tyre is their name, "Dessert" - you don't get too much water in desserts!
