Pontiac Vibe Tyres

This is my second set of these tires, though my first tires were T rated and the second were V rated. I have a 300 mile trip that I do every other week that goes from backcountry mountain canyons to interstate. I also do food delivery with a lot of stop and start driving, and have even used it on some dirt/sand roads, so I have been able to assess this tire in a variety of situations. I have found this tire to be a good all-rounder for someone who wants capability in both occasional snow and summer. These tires handle spirited driving well and feels quite good in canyons, though on a 16" rim is quite soft in hard turns. Outright grip is not as good as a sporty all season but capable enough. Noise is fairly low and they have a great ride. I drive fairly hard in the mountains and in town, so my experienced treadlife is likely lower than most drivers. Some downsides I have found is that wet traction and hydroplaning get worse at the tire wears. I am quite ready to retire these tires by the time they are approaching 4/32. Due to increases in their price (assumingly from popularity), I am looking to Continental PureContacts for my next tire, which I hope will a little handle better and last longer than these tires. But overall, I have been very happy with the rt34's and would consider them again for a shoulder season/occasional winter tire.
