Hi I subscribe to Consumer Reports (and find them helpful in making purchase decisions) and you got me thinking - here is the low down overall:
Highs - Excellent dry braking and hydroplaning resistance, a quiet tire
Lows - Fair snow traction
Dry braking - excellent
Wet braking - good
Handling - very good
Hydroplaning - excellent
Snow traction - fair
Ice braking - good
Ride comfort - fair
Noise - very good
Rolling resistance - very good
There are 40 user reviews that net a 2+ (looks like less than 1/2) star rating of 5
Tested life 45K
Although I suspect I will not need tires for sometime (2018 / 4,500 miles) I probably will opt for an alternate brand at the time of changing. In the interim this year I will be winter (NJ) driving carefully until I fully understand the tires capabilities in the colder weather. Do not know where you live but you need to consider carefully depending upon the amount of driving and requirements thereof. To me however, getting another set of tires is just a whole layer of additional expense and where to store the other set, and do you order additional rims...
