Realized after purchase that these are 6-ply extra-load tires. The same model tires on display at the store are only 4-ply regular-load tires, which might give a more comfortable and less noisy ride. Also,these tires SOUND like they are out-of-round when slowing down, even when letting the car slow down in neutral. These tires have less than 800 miles on them.

I put these tires on my Outback as an up grade from the bridgestones that came OE. the bridgestones were terrible in the rain and had uneven wear even with regular rotations performed every 6k. the bridgestones made the car fell mushy in the corners as where these enhanced the crispness of the steering. did I mention the rain handling is phenomenal in comparison. the ride is a bit stiffer but for me is a small price to pay for the added benefit of being able to drive in the rain at speed and have better feed back [ road feel ]. all around the car feels more controllable at any given situation.

It is hard to find another tire in this speed rating (W) at this price point. If you are like me and have a high performance sedan, THIS is the tire for you. They stick like glue to the pavement, ride well, have low noise, and...did I say they won't break the bank? I've literally had tires that cost twice as much as these, got half the mileage out of them, and were no better in high performance driving conditions.

These replace the OEM Hankooks on my 2012 Sonata and I have only one instance where I can say I was unpleasantly surprised. I stepped on the gas on a wet paved road and the tires broke traction I've never experienced that with my OEM tires. So I'll be more careful in the future on wet roads. I can't say how they perform in the snow yet, but other reviewers rate them relatively good in snow, possibly better than in the wet. They are very slightly noisier than the Hankooks, but still quite acceptable.

Quieter than the OE tires and the three other sets in between. They handle and grip great in dry conditions. On wet pavement, from a stop, even under a light load they'll break traction, especially on concrete which is a majority of the driving surfaces in my metro area. Their cornering ability is great even on a heavy sport sedan like I have. On the highway they are more quiet and comfortable than I expected and moreso than any of the four sets I've previously run.

First off, let me say the Goodyear online purchase process is painless and efficient. The dealer had all the info they needed when I arrived, and were ready for the installation. The tire replaced OE Michelins on our 2014 Taurus, which were worn out and loud. On the Goodyear's the car is somewhat quieter, and much more responsive. Sadly, these tires are not as quiet as hoped, and introduce an odd hum at highway speeds on concrete freeway. Haven't driven on snow and ice yet. Have purchased a lot of Goodyear tires over the years, these are somewhat disappointing. Hoping they don't get any louder.

Have always been dismayed with the horrible handling of my original factory tires in bad weather. I have already noticed a huge improvement in wet weather but haven't been up against snow with them yet. BTW, the 3 year puncture additional warranty for the price was a no brainer.

I recently purchased these tires and drove over 400 miles through treacherous rain storms and these tires held up great with the handling, turning, high speed, and reliability. Since purchasing these tires, I don't expect to buy tires for the remaining time I own the car. Very pleased!

I really wanted to like these tires.But they are very noisy and loud at speeds over 50 mph. On speaker phone, callers ask what the loud background noise is while im driving. unlike with my previous tires. They handle much better, but my 45 series profiles have very stiff sidewalls so every bump and imperfection is amplified. They are a much stickier tire, so i lost a few mpg. On cement freeways, the ride over 60 mph is horrible with a slapping sound. I am embarrassed to give others a ride if it involves any cement roads, On rough asphalt they roar. On smooth pavement, they are smooth and very quite. It's like day and night. I now have 45k miles on them and they do wear really well. I can probably go another 20K miles till replacement. I will be choosing a different tire next time, these didnt work out well for me

I'd have to say I'm a spirited driver and these tires are great on my 2018 Ford Explorer Sport. I've taken them to the track and have gone 120+ mph and they work great! These tires have been to Seattle, Portland (twice in the summer time), Los Angeles (Disneyland), South Lake Tahoe (twice during snowy conditions) and been driven on city streets quite a bit. 100% recommend these tires if you're having trouble deciding which A/S tire you'd like.
