I have them on my S6. They are OK but I do not push the car that hard because they would have to manage an almost 4000lb car.

I have them and there not bad. they do tramline a little bit and they could be a little grippier in the wet but I do like them and I have used them in 6 or 7 autox plus street driving and they seem to wear well.

Those tires are junk. They make the worst road noise possible, just like offroad truck tires. The sidewalls are kind of stiff so steering response is pretty good. Grip is ok for but there are alot better tires out there. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

I friend of mine used to run FM901's on his M3. He switched to Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's and loves them.
