Customer Reviews
Bought and paid for in October put on in February, I should get some kind of compensation for waiting so long. Overall I like the tires thank you.
these are great tires, they have great traction, even in snow. the tread wear is very good.
If I could give the RIDE NOISE a 10, I would. It is the quietest tire by far. We purchased new tires and replaced them with the Continental tires due to the road noise.
Tires have been performing as expected. They are doing a great job!!!
