just got them. they seem to be an excellent tire, very satisfied so far.

Good tire, excellent stability. A little harder than the OE tires but feel safer.

I am very pleased with my tires, and I am very glad I made the purchase.

The design of the tires is beautiful and turned my vehicle into a pleasure car to drive.

Friendly and fast service. Unsure of winter traction yet, but I'm sure it will handle well.

These tires are wonderful and the installation was great!

The team at Piper Glen in Charlotte recommended these tires right before I had to drive cross country. Thank goodness I did!!! We got stuck in three blizzards in one week, with one rerouting us for hours on rocky dirt roads, solid ice, and extremely hazardous conditions. I can't count how many times I thought about how glad I was that I had these tires on. They rode a tiny bit rougher than my old tires to begin with, but that was due to this being a heartier tire and I got used to it within a few days.

I was expecting a quieter and smoother riding tire than the original Cooper tires. I do not think it is much quieter and am very disappointed in how it tends to pull the vehicle in the direction of grooves in the roadway, this was not an issue with the original tires. I only have a thousand or so miles on these tires, hoping these are only breaking in issues.

Review Summary pretty much sums it up. These are/were easily the loudest tire I've ever owned. I purchased thinking they would last a long time on my daily commuter vehicle (90 mile/day roundtrip) and they were so loud at 40,000 miles I had to replace them. And, it wasn't just as they got older - the day they were installed I noticed a higher level of road noise. On top of it, I always felt like wet traction was pretty bad - it was not uncommon for hydroplaning and the traction control light to come on in my TDI Passat.

After 3 trips back to tire shop that installed the tires, (because of air leakage), we went to another tire shop and had All 4 tires balanced. That improved the ride tremendously. I thought the tires were supposed to be balanced when installed. What happened there?
