On my third set of these WR G4s for my Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Mostly highway driving with some light off-roading and towing. These tires are durable and have excellent traction. However, the center tread wears faster than the outer, which still looks new after 45000 miles. Theye out of stock everywhere now, which is a bummer.

I found these tires quite good for winter snow weather. Summer characteristics are good too. But there is one drawback - they are very noisy on highway. If you don't mind the noise, buy it.
