Comment:
These are fabulous as far as traction goes. They evacuate water quite well too, so the risk of hydroplaning is quite low. The only drawback is they are considerably noisier than all-season radials. They actually get noisier in warm, dry conditions. We may look at getting some top of the line all season tires down the road, since it costs about $200 a year to put on snow tires and take them off.
