Like this tire on road highway. Good grip on rain. However, the pattern makes it a little harder to get a good grip on rocky terrain. I will kick back smaller rocks on gravel roads at low speeds, instead of rolling over them. Or at least I notice it more than with tires with more 'open' patterns. This tire seems clearly designed for paved roads.

First time having to replace the tires on my RAV4. These Goodyears have a lot more traction and seem more quiet and comfortable for freeway/street use. I'm very impressed as I usually stick to OE tires or better. Just wish the tire center had a waiting area for customers. The cafe was packed.
