Had these tires on my Nissan Sentra for less than 10k miles. They are extremely noisy. I am looking for different tires to replace these tires due to the noise.
Price was great. Get what you pay for though. Initially tires handled great. I drive aggressively in a Chrysler 300C. At 17,000 miles developed a bubble in the sidewall of a rear tire. No warrantee for defect by a GT dealer so had to replace both rear tires. They won't warrantee for wear either. At just under 25,000 miles tires are shot, sliding all over. Buying a brand that will stand behind their tire.
Good tire so fat about 2500 miles and they have traveled in rain and snow well.
Tires handle decent in the conditions I have driven in so far, but they do not balance out well. They vibrate slightly on the highway, and are noisier than what I was expecting for a traditional all season tire. Not very pleased with my purchase as the car is driven 90% on the highway, the only time the vibration and tire noise is noticeable.
Great tires for the price. Smooth ride. Wears well. This is my second set of these tires: Hyundai Azera and Toyota Avalon. I would definitely buy another set for my other car.
