2007 Acura MDX. Purchased in Feb 2015, within 2 weeks we had a snow/ice storm and they handled that well so at first I was fine with overlooking how much louder they were... However, I maintain my vehicle meticulously with rotations and was barely able to get 21k miles out of these tires... Replaced with another brand in June 2016.. Very disappointed...

I have these tires on my BMW X5. The original tires were just ok. I had ordered a different tire and Discount Tire was out of stock on that tire. They offered these at the same price. I had not checked the reviews on these tires. I noted they were a little noisy from the start, but now with some miles (15000) they are very loud. It sounds like I am running big tread mud tires. They are wearing well, but I will probably replace them soon related to the noise. I would not recommend these tires.

Bought these tires in March for an East to West and back trip. Drove in 800 miles of heavy rain then turned North into 300 miles of driving snow. My '07 Subaru and these tires made the trip an ease.Yes, I would buy these tires again.

It is only less than 5000 miles so far, but nothing to complain about at this point. Performance was surprisingly good in snow, wet weather, corners extremely well when driven hard. Road noise a little higher than the OEM Continental tires but considering these were a fraction of the price it's really hard to complain too much. Will update tread wear as more miles are tacked on. Long term test coming eventually.
