Overall a great all around tire
I put an oversized set of these on my VW Tiguan (245/65R17). I have run a bunch of all terrains, mud terrains, and sporty tires. These are great in between. The sidewall is pretty stiff, so the ride can be a bit rough, but it helps with handling around corners. I was a bit shocked at the amount of road noise these have once they break in. From a road noise standpoint, it reminds me more of a mud terrain. I am used to it, so it does not really bother me. These also balanced very well without excessive weights and ride great on the highway. Much better traction in the rain and snow than a typical highway tire. Looks are not everything when it comes to tires, but these do have a great, aggressive look for an all-terrain. Overall, a great tire for the money.
