Vary pleased with these tires. Being they are a winter tire and the aggressive tread its normal to have the road noise and i have run them in the summer even though that is not recommended because they will wear fast but they do excellent in the rain no hydroplaning on puddles and great all arround traction. Will definitely be getting another set when these wear out.

The tires cause my suv to shake. I've had them checked and balanced multiple times. Also had my suv checked out. I'm out the money and it sucks.

This is my third set of these tires, on three different trucks. I only use them in the winter, so I don't put a lot miles on in a year.
