I decided to try this tire because it had some better ratings than others for snowy conditions. I replaced a set of Goodyear Eagle RSA tires with these on a 2012 Mazda 3. After 4 months and a couple of snowstorms, time for a review. The tires are a bit softer and have more slide-slip than the Eagle RSA had, took me a little time to adjust to the dry pavement feel when making a lane change maneuver. They just react to input a smidge slower. There is a little extra tire noise which I notice on wet pavement, but not enough to complain about, it is just there as a result of the tread design. There was a definite improvement in traction on snowy and even wet roads in comparison to the Eagle RSA tire. Living in Michigan, this was a big positive. The only other negative was a 1 MPG decrease in my fuel economy over the Eagle RSA tires. When from an average of 35 to 34 MPG on my weekly commute when averaged over a few months. I assume this is due to a softer tire compound increasing the rolling coefficient of friction. Given the improved traction in bad weather, I can live with this.

First set was purchased April 13 and I complained about the road noise. Within warranty, second set was put on. After driving a few weeks the road noise is the same on the second set. Tires are advertised has smooth, quiet ride. Mine are noisy and I hear the road noise constantly. Not at all satisfied.

Great tires! Overall well worth the money.

We had the new tires put on for vacation and had a great ride.

Smooth riding tires and grip.

All is good so far

Just a good tire

So far so good, bought these for my daughter and my major concern was good traction on the wet flat roads we have in florida during heavy rain. They had a good hydroplaning rating.

I like the ride, low noise and handling. I did notice a slight loss of gas mileage with the new tires compared with the OEM Michelin tires. But overall I am very satisfied with the tires.
