They are a excellant tire at a good price.

The high performance grip and the wet weather traction kept me from hydroplaning. It meets and exceeds all tire expectations. It has a smooth ride that is quiet inside the vehical. The grip on dry pavement when braking truly impressed me. I would recommend this tire to everyone.

good value from a mid tier tire

nobody is going to mistake them for michelin or pirelli, but they offer good value for the price paid. good wet and dry handling and stopping, and fairly quiet. wear seems reasonable, and road noise and mileage are comparable to the hankook they replaced.

Love these tires. They hug the road so good!

People who ride with me constantly point out how well the car grips the road on the windy mountain roads I live on. Excited to try them out in the snow this winter.
