Thought they had stopped making them ?? had four off them fitted to the 18"s on my blobeye, one off them got a screw in the sidewall tried everywhere to get a replacment and kept getting told you cant get them now ?? ended up having to buy two new different brand front tyres instead.
the rears on my seem okay but have read differently when I searched for info on them ie. seem to not be the most highly regarded off tyres !!!

Got them on mine at the moment and theyre hedge finders.
I'll be changing to Falken Ziex's as soon as my budget allows thats for sure. Very little difference in price, massive difference on the road.

I got fallen fk452's on my 18's. Look good, and are pretty grippy. Had p-zero rossos before, and found the falkens are more grippy on the front, so less understeer, but a bit slippier on the back, so more chance of a bit of drifting... :-)

tbh for a budget tyre they are pretty good, i had some on a previous set of wheels and everyone called them ditch finders, hedge hunters ect but they were not at all,, well worth the money if you cant budget for a better brand,.

From spending 6months working for a tyre distributor and talking to the garages on a daily basis.. how can I put it.. don't even bother!
Pirelli P-Zeros/Bridgestone Potenzas if you can afford it, beyond that look at a Firestone.
Because of the hardness of the ride, any budget tyre will have a wall so thin, they'll deflate quicker than you can hit 60. The numpty who I bought my scooby off, but Federal's on it... They lasted about 3weeks (350miles) with me, You could feel the tyre wall move as you go around the corner.
