After 4 years and 52K miles of combined hwy and city driving conservatively, they have plenty of tread left. However, they frequently lose traction when starting out from a stop, which is unpredictable and unsafe! I suspect over time the rubber has changed. Drywrought seems too drastic of a description. An 85K mileage rating is useless if the rubber loses it's grip over time.

I do not recommend these tires. I have had them on my car for two months and a bubble just appeared on the sidewall. I have not hit any potholes with the tire so I'm almost positive it was a manufacturing defect. Besides that the tires were just okay. The grip on dry pavement was adequate but on wet pavement they weren't the best. They slipped when going around curves when the roads were even slightly damp. Can't speak to winter performance or tread life because I haven't had them long enough and I plan on replacing them with a different tire anyways. Overall I'd give them a 2/5 rating.

I really like the tires so far. I would not buy them from Simple Tire. They are not authorized resellers (I did not know this when purchased). The issue came up when I filed for a rebate and Goodyear denied the claim due to that reason. That part is disappointing since I have purchased 5 sets of tires from Simple Tire. In the end, I would have received a better price from the installer if I would have just purchased through them. My tires were also lost in transit resulting in me having to reschedule my installation appointment. Simple Tire never bothered notifying me of the delay and it wasn't until I called to ensure the tires (all of them) arrived they bothered telling me they would be late. All in all, the tires seem to be great. I'll know more in the winter (Western PA) how they do. Love the tires. Will not purchase again from Simple Tire as it was certainly not simple for me or obviously from them.
