I will have more of a definitive answer tonight but here is what I know so far.
Grips on dirt (damp or dry) and concrete extremely well.
Rated for 80 psi but keep an eye on the bead I had one blow off the rim after riding for an hour at 80 psi. The steel bead was kinked from the factory. Ordered another one and rode street last night at 60psi. I cased a concrete step really hard and the tire let the rim hit like it has 30 spi in it.
Riding street tonight at 80psi and I will inevitable case the same 5 stair again so we'll see.

Meh even at 80psi it still squirms a lot railing around on concrete... Bowls are OK but for flat carves not so hot. The front tire started to wash out turning 90 degrees on a sidewalk after hopping up a 5 stair.... even with 80psi. I was thinking of going to 100psi but I just got home riding trails with the tires at 80psi and both tires developed hops... the beads were starting to pull out in a couple places... Meh. I'd say the tires makes a superb front tire.... and it seems 60psi is the sweet spot. I am hoping a quality 100psi rear tire comes out soon. Fingers crossed for the faction rims and tires!

You've not had it too long though right? Tires always suck for a week or so, just need a bit of wearing in.

What about the rims? Since you really only have one readily available rim to replace it with. It be a shame if they were absolute shit.

I agree regarding grip but the tires don't seem to like max psi when the bead starts to pull out. Unless I am wrong about the latter and I hope I am.
The rims are actually really great so far.
