Customer Reviews
I am enjoying the new tires. Discount Tire was great to deal with.
These tires are good and since I have gotten them before, I definitely wouldn't complain!!
Almost anything new would compare most favorably with the worn OEM Dunlaps, so my review after 30K miles or so will be much more valuable.
