You are not going to confuse these with Summer tires when the driving gets spirited, but they're great cruising tires. Straight ahead grip in the wet or dry is great, but on turns, it can feel a little greasy in the wet. As for noise...there pretty much isn't any. I hear more induction and wind noise than I do the tires, even at speeds above 80mph.

This is my 5th set of tires I have bought from simple tire. The ease of ordering and the speed of shipping is excellent. Cheaper than any other tire sites online, even tirerack.com.

At 30,000 miles the tires were down to 2/32 of an inch. Tires had been rotated on a regularly scheduled basis by the dealership and overall properly maintained. I expected better.

I'm very happy with the tires I purchased! They're very quiet on the road, and I feel very comfortable driving in heavy rain with them. Haven't been in snow yet, but I'm confident they'll do just fine. I highly recommend this tire! You get a lot of quality for the price.
