There might be other tires out there that outperform it, but they can't handle the wet surfaces or hard corners with cold tires.

Speaking of "cold", none of the super sticky tires have much grip at, or near freezing temperatures, so it's mostly a 3 season tire.

I do really love the RE11s. I've had several sets and the grip is phenomenal and the ride is pretty nice too for a performance tire.
