Worst tire Ive ever bought. These things are a nightmare in the rain-no grip at all. Feels like Im driving on ice even when it just drizzling. And the noise??? Forget about it sounds like Im driving a tractor. Would not recommend these to anyone. Had to replace them after just 10k miles.

They grip well and provide a smooth ride. Tried to buy two more but couldn’t find them anywhere! 

So if you can get your hands on these, definitely go for it.

Got these on my Mustang and theyre awesome in the snow! But, man watch out when it rains. Even with AWD theyre slippery. A friend has the same issue with his Lexus. So, while theyre great for winter be extra cautious in the rain. Not bad for the price though.
