They may be about as "grippy" as the tyres of '97, but ask yourself, if development of those tyres in 1997 had carried on, how much more grip do you think that the tyres would give out today? A complete surface that is touching the track (proper slick) has to give more grip than a tyre with 40mm of it's surface (grooved tyre) not touching the track imo.
