Tires are great. So far so good. No complaints. It hasn't snowed alot yet so it will be interesting to see how the tires react when it really starts to snow heavily.

Tires perform excellent on interstate hwys. At 75/85mph, handle rough roads very good, trip to pot hole city (Toledo,OH) was a true test of the tires durability. A excellent tire for a heavy vehicle that travels at high speeds.

I am really happy with these tires, except for deep snow. (all wheel drive vehicle) both my husband and my self have gotten stuck in our driveway. Other than that they have been great, quiet and handle very well.
