I have been using these since the 1st of the year, no problems, very quiet, and look great. Tire Rack has the best prices & shipping.

got them put on last night. only have a few miles on them but the wife said they grip very well. i would have to agree. its strange but it seems like it turns much crisper if that makes any sense. lol
i like them so far i will try and report back when i have more miles on them and some snow driving. they are a nice looking tire thats for sure.

Hey, I love mine I hope they work in snow!

I just wanted to update you all on the tires. They have been great. they handle very well in the snow and on the ice. The tires are very responsive. handle well on wet pavement. Ihave maybe 3000 miles. The wife even noticed how well they handle compared to the old ones.
