spirited miles
These tires were on my 4x4 truck when I bought it. The previous owner provided the service records, so I know they've been on it for only 16k miles, I drove it for about 6k of those miles. They're 5 years old, produced in the 3rd quarter of 2018. The dry traction isn't great, there were a couple instances the tires broke loose when I wasn't even flooring it. I would be on a moderate hill and give some extra gas from a stop and they would start spinning enough that the truck would barely move, and this was in the middle of the summer with dry roads. The biggest problem is how it performs in the rain. These tires are absolutely the worst I've owned when the ground is saturated. I almost spun out a few times at low speeds on sharper turns, but luckily was able to recover from the loss of traction before anything bad happened. In the rain I don't trust them at all, they don't feel stable in turns and inspire zero confidence. I don't really know how it performs on the ice, but on the snow covered highways in New England, it actually performed well in 4x4 mode. I do drive slowly when it comes to snow or potentially icy conditions, I never try to push the envelope, but they seemed to have good traction with very minimal spinning and virtually no sliding, I was actually impressed. They got me through two winters. Another positive is they are very quiet. Overall, I definitely would not ever want these tires again. Perhaps they're better suited for off-road conditions.
