I was very surprised when I did a search for information on this tire and found NOTHING on this site! I am sure many people will say they are shit just because they never heard of them... but many said that about the General Exclaim UHP when it came out and it turned out to be a good tire for the money. General tire knows it too because they inflated the price on them not to long ago. Please give information ONLY if you actually know something about them. Thanks guys!!!

Did you ever try these tires out yourself?

I just saw them online. They are dirt cheap.

I know I'm bringing back an old thread, but I found this while I was looking for other things, and in case anyone is interested, I do have these tires. I have had them for about 10,000 miles now. I will say my motivation in buying them was: I wanted inexpensive all season tires that looked reasonably good and had a decent shot of lasting a while. I paid 115 each for 245/40/18 at the store where I purchased my wheels. They look really nice, pretty aggressive (unlike the Turanzas), on my 18X8's. After 10,000 miles I have 8/32 left. My original Turanza's were not looking very good after about 15,000 miles. The TR968s have been alright for me. My biggest gripe would be they have been kind of noisy lately...probably a little excessive but again noise was not one of my criteria. I can't vouch for them as performance tires. I really don't drive that aggressively. I can say they perform pretty well in the rain which is important to me. Hope this helps.

These tires are horrible. Do not buy them no matter how cheap they are. My car sways back and forth when going down the road, it feels like the tires are flat. Handling, HA! What handling. When going around a corner the tires are screaming for their lives. Swaying alone should keep you away from these tires but add on top of that the inability to go around a corner with any speed and excessive road noise gives you a huge reason to stay away. I cannot stress enough how bad these tires are!
I hope this helps people to make a wise decision in the future

How is your alignment .... above sounds like something is out of whack.

I was thinking what a coincidence something went wrong like a tie rod or ball joint at the same time I put on the tr968's so I jacked it up and checked. My suspension was perfect. It really was just the tires.

I have the same damn issues with these crappy ass tires! I bought the car with these tires on them. Needless to say that I am shopping for continental extremecontact dws for all 4's. and, i've had alignment done twice. i can't even go around a corner in the wet without my car sliding.

I will have to agree these aren't very good. They are not aging well at all.

Have had these for about 15k miles, at my last oil changed, had 7/32nds remaining, I drive kind of hard, car is dropped about 2 inches, they handle OK, nothing I wouldn AutoX with, but good enough for agreesive road driving(not racing) and they hook up OK at the track, but I dont make enough power for them to scream off the line at a nicely prepared drag strip.

they are great in the dry but damn, once it rains, it's like ice skating
