Comment:
These tires are great as far as traction and wear goes, but they started cupping lightly under recommended psi (34). They also aren't that round, simply run your hand against the tread and you'll see for yourself. This causes loud internal road noise. I'd definitely recommend staying away from these tires. I did have one blow out at 80 mph and managed to make it 20 miles further home, so the run flat characteristic is very nice. In short, good wear and traction for a semi sport tire. Roundness is sub par, and they deformed early in their life.
