Comment:
Chosen because these tyres got very good reviews on websites in the USA. Fitted on a big heavy estate car in the UK, 33,000km over exactly 2 years fast/moderate driving style cruising 170-180km/hr for up to 6 hours but not pushing the car through bends, mainly motorways and town driving with some ordinary roads. Excellent in torrential rain on motorways with stable braking on fully loaded car, very good in dry conditions. Never used in snow. Road surface most important factor for noise and comfort level, completely acceptable for long distance journeys. Performance/price ratio was excellent in my view. Would have replaced them with the same tyre but couldn't find them available when needed.
