I purchased two of these for the rear of my full-size pickup and they had a vast improvement over the slippery KO's in rain. I like the tire so much I just purchased two more for the front axle. Very low noise and excellent traction all on top of superb ride. I never scrimp on tires and these have a better ride than the Michelins I was using up front.

I've purchased TA KOs for years for my trucks so when it came to tires for my family vehicle I found these. I live in NW Pennsylvania. I put these on 2 weeks ago. In the past 2 weeks we've had an 18" snowfall, several other minor snowfalls, icy roads and now 40 degree weather. Snow performance was excellent, vehicle handles great and no road noise. I did my research before buying. Very happy with these tires.

Improved steering precision was immediately apparent. I have had no lack of traction on any surface, although it has yet to snow. The ride is firm but compliant, and they have a substantial look. They hum on textured pavement, but not excessively. Priced competitively with other premium tires.

2018 CX5 AWD owner - FL driver, and weather. These tires made my short list because they are 3 peak snow flake rated and have pretty good ratings. This mattered to me because I'm approaching a time when we'll be road-tripping to colder states and will inevitably encounter the wintry stuff. Best word to describe these: compromise. They don’t seem particularly excellent at anything, just a great jack of all trades which has an upper hand in wintry conditions vs A/S tires. These will do 95% as good a job tires like the Premier LTX or similar – yet are far superior in winter, less $$, and from reviews it seems they actually go the distance with their rated mileage. I've always had Michelins in my vehicles and they always wear out at about half their warranty rating. I hope the following will give you a feeling of what these feel like in my GT: Handling: less of a knife, more like a spatula. With that said, they aren't fully broken in yet. Wet traction: So far so good except one red light I spun tires a little, but it might just be the release agent because they are new. Drove over deep puddles at speed, yet I couldn’t break them lose.. they just bit the road. Dry traction: It’s an SUV not a race car. They do just fine. Comfort: they are on the softer side it appears – maybe a little bouncy. However you can feel every grit on that pavement. It’s as if they don’t isolate the texture from the driver, instead they transmit it straight to the steering wheel + seats. Not sure if this is a plus or a minus, but in my case, I'm not loving that too much. Yet don’t confuse this with noise. Feeling is different from hearing. NOISE... oh the noise many complain about. This was the category in the reviews which made me hesitate at getting these, but in the end I guess I took the dive. I will divide this part into subjective as well as objective: Subjectively (personally) I do feel they are a little louder, but not much - maybe 1 or 2 decibels. The added road feel I think plays a trick with your brain to make you think they are louder than they are (combining the actual noise with the gritty feel on some concrete roads). Objectively (with a decibel app on my Samsung Note 10) – shocking enough - they aren’t louder. I tested on my car, on a stretch of road at 50 and 60 mph. accessories off, windows closed, stereo off. 50mph = 70 decibels. 60mph = 72-74 db. 70mph: 74-76 db. Here’s the interesting thing: I immediately went and test drove a BRAND NEW 2021 CX5 GT with stock Toyo A36s which are the original tires for this car– and I got the EXACT same #s / db ranges. . New OEM tires seem to be just as loud (or quiet however you want to interpret) as these. IF there is a difference, I’d argue it’s subjective and does not exceed 1-2db. However the stock tires do seem to isolate the road feel better, which might explain why they might come across as quieter. One thing these tires DO have is a little humming noise. It’s there, it’s present, yet not intrusive. If you roll down your windows, you can hear it outside bouncing off the curbs and walls and such. This car does a decent job at hiding it with the windows up but it's still there. Overall, for the promise of added traction in winter conditions, I think it's a solid tire. I don't think anything else out there really combines these features with the promised mileage these have. Oh and looks wise... smoking! I hope this helps!

I had 4 of these advantage Lt sport 245/70 17 put on my f150 in 2019, today, I was planning on just having alignment done, then I decided on 2 tires, my mechanic neighbor said these tires are good for another 8- 10000 miles. Well, why wait, had all 4 replaced and aligned, glad I did so, these tires are great on f150

Replaced my worn out Michelins on my 2006 Escape. If you want to sound like a monster truck..these tires are for you. For the rest of us that enjoy a quiet ride, spend the extra money for some Michelins. The ONLY positive is they do not hydroplane as quickly.

I have 25k on a set of 4. Handle well, great in all weather condition. Lobe them except for one major flaw. They are extremely noisy. Regardless of speed, there is sways a drone present. You have to turn the radio to hear it. At first they were fine, but getting louder as the miles add up. Will have to replace them long before they're worn out. Horrible on long trips. What a shame on a otherwise great tire.

Got a set on my Outback before driving from CA to Montana - glad I did. Ran thru a nasty thunderstorm in southern Idaho, a little bit of snow going over the continental divide & did quite a bit of off-roading around Helena - dirt, gravel, and mud. Not only do these tires perform perfectly for just normal highway driving, they handled all the rain, snow, mud, and gravel no problem. Zero hydroplane and very little slip when off-road. Not much road noise, smooth comfortable ride and handling. I tried similar tires from Pirelli and Bridgestone - these were better. I will absolutely get them again.

We put these on our 2018 AWD CR-V Touring, replacing the OEM tires and it is so much better. The ride is more quiet and smooth, the handling has improved and they even look better on the vehicle. We have found the perfect tire for our needs and wants.

We bought these tires 11/30/20. We noticed a noise last winter (2022) coming from the tires. I contacted the place we purchased them from. They will do nothing for us. These tires only have 26,165 miles on them. They have been rotated regularly. I would definitely not purchase these tires.
