Have covered 300 miles on these tyres now, the grip is 100% in both dry and wet roads, noise is silent on some surfaces but noisy on others. (although 67db on sticker) Like the rim protection design and the tread pattern, although tread is wide and deep so end up with clicking sound as stones appear to get stuck in them! At the moment I would recommend them as the look and more important the grip is amazing, which on the is300 is much needed.
