I had them on 2 400bhp RWD saffs and loved them, very grippy and cheap too..

Focus RS owners seem to like them too. Defo worth a try IMO. I only used my cars in dry weather really so wasn't fussed about their ability in the wet.

If the asphalt is a little bit damp on places, would these tyres still be ok, or do they need to have a really dry dry surface to work safely ?
