So far these tires are great they may be a little noisy on the hiway but i am seldom on the hiway with them. They handle excellent! I noticed the difference right away when i changed out my old tires. These ride like a dream and handle very well. They DO NOT grab ruts in the road and jurk you all over like my old tires did! I havent used them to much in wet conditions yet but what little i did the preformed well. I was originally looking for a Yokohama tire but they didnt make my size in the tread i wanted so i started looking into other options. I chose this tire for several reasons
1st they were made by one of the last American owned tire company's!
2nd was the price, they were very competitively priced, and on sale
3rd was the tread life warranty , 50,000 miles, the other tires i looked at didnt list a tread life.
These are the 10 ply tires and maby the lighter tires would handle differant but where i live 10 ply is the only thing that will last. I might not get the full 50,000miles out of them but expect 30-40,000. I am driving a 1/2 ton ford 4x4 and it is my daily driver.
