Worth the money

These tires are the best Sam's Club has to offer. I routinely put over 100,000 miles on these tires through all conditions across the country. They grip the road well and have a smooth ride to them. Most importantly, they are reliable.

Best overall rated Tire, They are Great!

Relatively Quiet, grippy, longest lasting for my truck. Buy the more expensive tire once, instead of 2 or 3 sets tires at lower cost.

I love these tires. I have a Kia Sorento and these tires have made the ride a lot quieter.
