Comment:
Have a set on my 2006 Taurus. Good over-all handling, especially in wet and moderate snow (3 to 6 inches) conditions. Dry traction, including braking and cornering, is very good. The tires are wearing evenly, although I do not think I will get 80,000 miles out of them - I'll be happy with 60,000. They hum a bit more than othr tires I've owned but I'll gladly take that given the confidence the tires give me on the road.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Initially purchased as rim protectors for my 200K '96 Subaru wagon which I been kept as a utility vehicle when buying a new one. The tires were a value and quietly did what was needed. In the 32 snowfall last winter the utility wagon was my primary and the tires, although all-season, did admirably enough I put them on our BMW 528i with the same results: more performance than was anticipated. I didn't anticipate Snowcat traction in winter, deep water fording ability or 1.0 G cornering on highway cloverleaf entry ramps. Each of those isolated circumstances would call for a specific tire and I just wanted to be able to put one tire on for descent results year-round; this one was a fine and pleasantly surprising choice. I was similarly pleased with the dealer experience given the option of buying online and sorting out local installation.
