Don't have them on my car, but I have driven on them in dry weather... and I liked how they performed. A good friend in Vancouver has them on his Corolla, and he loves them in the rain, plus they run smooth and quiet and have a great mileage rating. Don't know how they'd make out in the snow; I'm an advocate of dedicated snow tyres if you live in snow country.
