#6) Your review and personal comments (Dry, wet, and snow, if applicable. Also, please compare to other tires used): This tire is very, very, well rounded. It gives me more dry grip than the stockers but noticeably less than the yokos that I am sad about but expected, better steering response than both, and no tramlining issues. Sidewall is a bit softer than the yokos, but the difference can be reduced by inflating to 40 psi, then the turn-in is a bit better. Ride quality and isolation from road imperfections is by a huge margin better than the yokos and a bit better than stockers. The resistance to hydroplaning is just phenomenal, the wet grip itself may not actually be that high, but there's an undeniable sense that the tread pattern cuts through standing water very effectively. Driving in rain is so stable that I wish that everyone drove with AWD that performed at least as well as ours. The road noise is a bit higher than the yokos, which were amazingly quiet, but still muted. I hope the treadwear is even half as good as the warranty claims because I think they are fantastic. No chance yet to drive on snow.
