These tires are a diamond in the rough. The tires are by far the best tire purchase that I have made. The vehicle has never driven smoother. My wife actually thought the tires were sliding because of how smooth they run. Very little if any road noise. Cornering and stability on dry pavement are outstanding. In wet weather there is absolutely no hydroplaning or loss of control. My wife had someone cut in front of her and she had to swerve in order to avoid an accident. She said the tires responded like no other tire has before and she did not loose traction at all. This is on a road that had not seen rain for quite a while so there was oil residue on the road. I had a similar experience and the tires handled much better that the Michelin tires that they replaced. At 30 mph you can see the water spray coming out from the tires in the side view mirrors. I have never had a tire evacuate water like this at a lower speed. This is a great tire and the price can't be beat. I will be purchasing these again when they wear out. So far there are 10,000 miles on the tires and hardly any tread wear. They are so good I am now looking at the Sumitomo Encounter AT for my truck. Outstanding Tire and value.
