Anyone rate these tyres?

They're on the Cyclones I picked up and wondered if they're worth keeping or not.

(I currently have Pirelli P6000s, which are exceptionally s**t in the wet)

Shock So having them super hard will be better?!
I put them back down to 30 after not being able to get round many roundabouts without having to go stupid slow at 33 a couple of weeks ago. I'll put them to 36 tomorrow on the way home from work and report back.

I'm not convinced.
