Customer Reviews
For a very cost effective tire, I would highly recommend.
These have been pretty good tires, and very good tires considering the price. They did okay with light snow, rain, and have felt very safe in cornering and situations where traction is needed. They are not the most quiet tire on the market but I would not call them loud either, just average and equivalent to OEM tire noise. I would buy them again.
When new, these were relatively quiet running tires. As the tread has worn, especially after 25,000 miles of wear, they have become the loudest all season tire I have ever owned. I used to think that Michelin CrossClimate2 tires ran loud, these Sentury tires are waaaaay louder!
