Only problem with " a quick use of the search button" is that it quickly "yields' old info.. thanks for nothing..---- maybe you personally drive on them and could offer more current feedback?

I wasn't trying to come off as rude, but perhaps you could have mentioned that you searched in the first place rather than just asking a very broad question.

Thanks for offering no insight into exactly what you want to know about the tire so ill just take a stab at it.

Yes i do personally drive on them as winter tires in 235/45/17's. They are somewhat loud around 60mph. The grip is great for snow, and driving in a straight line is fine, but the sidewall is is a single ply polyester. This makes it give the driver a lack of feedback from the steering wheel as well as lot of side to side "sloppy" movement when performing lane changes any faster than 65mph or taking highway off ramp loops or curvy roads any faster than 35mph. I would definitely not recommend them even though they are priced rather attractively.

On the contrary, I love my summer tires...General Exclaim UHPs.

Thanks for the reply...I agree.
btw-- what other"insight' did you need? Guy, it was a simple question, which, instead of answering right off, you chose to reply to with a sarcastic answer. I didnt mean to force you to "spill the beans" on your tires, which btw, I wouldnt have guessed you even owned by your first reply.
