Have them on my AE82 FXGT race car for driving to and from events. With the cars suspension setup etc I needed a good quality tyre for road use, as bad tyres made it handle terribly. The 535 has worked fine as a road tyre, good grip and very progressive.
It is a bit noisy although that hasn't bothered me. Feedback is good, bit of a stiff sidewall so not the smoothest either

Can't say much about wear, mine are pretty camber worn.

It's 12th b'day is Sep '15]. The mid engine 699cc+turbo moves it well. Mileage is 72,500[it'd clocked 14,000 before me].
The tyre, supplied S/H by my local scrapyard with few choice's, was fitted
(Jun '11] to the rear[drive] axle, for £20!
The Federal compliments the Roadsters firm suspension and handling, and it's done 26,000 miles since, that is impressive.
Fuel has averaged 52mpg pa[winter lower/ summer higher].
[NB Its a Cobra VHP on t'other side!]

My car is a Toyota MR2, with these tyres all-round. they have done 35000km now and whilst they have worn evenly and still have another 10000km in them, they have to be the noisiest tyres I have ever had the displeasure to own. I have religiously looked after their balance, and every 10000km get all 4 wheels aligned. One thing I can do is 'rotate' front to backs because the MR2 has smaller wheels on the fronts..

These tyres grip very well in the dry, and you can feel when they are at thier limit in the dry as well before they let go.

However in the wet, they are very average, generally have to warm up the tyres before you get decent grip out of them, otherwise they don't grab when cold and in rain and there's not near as much progressiveness in grip limit as in the dry.

The tyres lasted 38,000km's on a CJ MY09 Lancer, spirited road driving as well as 1 track day 3 laps. Very long and hard wearing, but the grip towards the end of the wear is not good, especially in wet.

They are a harder compound tyre than most, so comfort is average, and tyre noise is average. But good considering the dry grip you get out of them.

I've already bought a second set, because for the amoount of kms you get for the dry grip, the price is excellent.

These tires have been great on my car.
