"Do not have too many miles on the tires, but in the short time I've had them I've driven in all of the weather conditions. They seem to be excellent in all. Deepest snow was about 6", but they give you confidence that if you drive cautiously you'll get where you have to go. Did slide a little on some packed snow/ice on a curve, but I was going too fast so I just slowed down. Great tires. So quiet and my mpg did go up slightly, maybe 2 or 3 tenths mpg over my previous tires." - Sykesville, MD

Tire very stable, excellent cornering, quiet ride, improved gas milage. Most importantly, the feeling of safety on highway/toll road, tire holds the road.
