They are good cruising, have them on a couple of cars (me and my family) Great in the dry good/great in the rain, ok in the snow, be CAREFUL the car is heavy so they will slide. I used them in VA last year all year and they were fine in the snow/ice. I highly recommend them for year round tires. I love them, smooth all the way around, quiet except on cement, they kinda sing.

u mean screach on on/offramps or hydroplain??

They are not high grip, and will slide under significant cornering forces.

They're not bad for an all around tire, but not for performance/spirited driving. Good for long distance highway cruising. I second the singing on concrete/cement.

Great highway cruisers - they "float" over the road.

I have never felt unsafe. They are great on off ramps, cornering, etc. NOT PERFORMANCE tires. Keep that in mind. But they handle the twisties great.

What I mean is that In snow and Ice the car is so heavy that the car will slide. I have a set of Dunlop M3. Absolutely no comparison, but they are good in the snow, ice, wet.

They are great in the wet no hydroplaning. Very god at highway speeds in all conditions.

I agree, great crusing, pump them up to 40 psi and awsome MPG

I haven't made my mind up on what tires I want. These look good and are cheap. But no one I know has tried these, their new-ish. Those or good yer assurance triple tred.
