Ordering online was "Simple" website was easy to navigate. Found the same stock tire for my 2020 Acura TLX that it came with. Prices were unbelievably cheaper than other sites I used in the past. Delivery was quick. Already recommended them to my father, who recently purchased new tires for his 2018 Mini Cooper. Highly recommend

Just a couple weeks on the road with Bridgestone Potenza. Handles well on dry and wet traction. Nice thread (new). Let's see if these last longer than previous Pirelli tires.

This tire handles ok, nothing special. Decent in dry conditions and about average in winter and snow conditions. Road noise is better than average.
What's truly terrible about this tire is the tread life, or the lack thereof. I have 11k miles on these tires as OEM on my 2017 Infiniti Q50, and I have about 5/32 left on all 4. This is simply unacceptable for a tire product that costs $200+ each tire. Period.

This low profile tire came on my new Chevy Impala and is by far the noisest and most uncomfortable tire to drive on worn concrete or bumpy roads. Every joint and every little road imperfection is picked up by these tires. I will not buy these again and caution any Chevrolet buyer to stay away from the 20 inch wheel.

I recently purchased these tires and they have been wonderful so far. I am unable to comment on the tread life, as I have not had them long enough to say. I am very happy with these tires and Kristin's customer service was absolutely amazing. This is my third set of tires from SImpleTire, so it is safe to say that I will definitely be ordering from them again when the time comes.
