While most users praise its exceptional wet and dry grip, some report inconsistent manufacturing quality regarding balance and road force, leading to occasional ride vibrations.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
75/100From 17 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

Pros
- Exceptional wet and dry pavement grip
- Noticeable improvement in vehicle handling and stability, particularly when towing
- Strong performance in snow and varied weather conditions
- Low road noise and high comfort levels
Cons
- Reports of inconsistent balancing and high road force values
- Tread wear can be accelerated under heavy towing loads
- Mixed feedback on deep snow and ice traction
- Higher price point compared to some competitors
Worth knowing
- Heavy-duty truck owners (Silverado 2500/3500) report significant improvements in towing stability and reduced trailer sway.
- Users note that the LT-rated versions provide a firmer, stiffer ride compared to standard passenger tires, which is expected for heavy-duty applications.
