"Couldn't believe how much less tire road noise and a softer, smoother ride. Tires look good and feel good. I certainly feel safer on the road. I had to stop quickly to avoid someone cutting into my lane, and I felt the tires grip the road. I also had an alignment when I got the new tires, and I could feel how much that helped in handling the car." - Venice, FL

The silence I noticed when I drove away was wild. Such a smooth, quiet, comfortable tire. Absolutely no complaints, well worth the money.

Handling & cornering with these new tires is exceptional. I haven't driven in the rain yet, so I don't know how these tires will perform. Very pleased with these tires for the short time we have had them on my wife's vehicle.
