Buying these tires I couldn't imagine that they are SO quiet. These are the quietest tires I've ever had! Steering response is awesome. Wet and dry performance is definitely great advantage of this tire. You won't regret buying them.

I've made a nice trip to mountains after buying these tires. I went about 1,500 miles then and had no any problems on the wet mountain road. Now I've made 4,300 miles and the tires look like new. There are no signs of wearing out. I'm pleased with them so much!
