    Worst tires I've ever owned on dry pavement. Car feels disconnected from the road, highway exits I used to take at 50mph trigger the low traction alert at 30 mph. Even staying below advertised safe speed signs on turns, my lost traction light comes on and slows the car. Car feels slow to react in turns and feels squishy in the lane. On grooved pavement the car vibrates and feels scary to drive. I've had these on for 5k miles and car wait to take them off and never put them back on. Every vehicle I have owned since 1999 has had snow tires in the winter and I've never had any tire as awful as these. I have Arctic Cat on my Suv and they are great, and these replaced general altimax arctic tires that were just wonderful. Will never recommend these tires to anyone who wants to feel in control of their vehicle. They do OK in snow, but on dry pavement I don't even feel comfortable driving the car, the same car I've driven 150k miles in since 2013...

    Tires are quiet and handle well in all conditions.

    Tires were a bit noisy with a rough feel on our 06 Malibu. Good tread. Think will do good once the snow flys. Overall a great price . I also bought two for my sons Impala.

    Federal Himalayan tires are an excellent choice for the money. I travel throughout upstate NY. where we can have snow for 5 months of the year. Because of this I have bought them all Michelin, Blizzak, Faulken, and I keep coming back to the Federal. Tread pattern is comparable to the Faulken and Blizzak, and the wear is about the same for half the money.

    I have a set in Studded form on my 01 VW Passat. These things are amazing. a little noisey because of the aggressive pattern and little squishy on dry road (Super soft compound) but an awesome winter tire. This car hasnt been stuck since they day they where installed.
