The tires I purchased for this winter are working well on the slick roads. Before getting these tires I was sliding at the stop signs, without ice or snow on the ground, I knew I was in trouble. The cost and ease of this website helped me find the best deal after I selected the brand tire I wanted. There were no hidden fees and I also received a rebate through the mail in less than a week for buying all four tires at once. I highly recommend your services and will absolutely be back to buy here the next time. Don't cheat yourself and go with simpletireshop.com, because it really is what it says in the name and without a doubt worth it.

Very quiet - she didn't realize they were on
These tires were recommended by a national consumer rating magazine/website. Ordering from SimpleTire was very easy. The price was excellent and they were sent directly to a local installer that mounted these tires and disposed of my old ones, all on the agreed upon price. I bought my winter tires in the late spring so that they would be ready for the fall/winter season to avoid the rush and I got a great deal on very good tires.

Great all around winter tire
I have these on two cars. I have about 10,000 miles on the one set and I probably have one more winter left in them. I like these tires because they are great snow tires but also handle very well when we see the temperatures fluctuate upward here in northern Virginia during the winter. Some winter tires get squishy when it is in the higher 40s and lower 50s. I highly recommend these tires.

Before buying I had read lots of glowing reviews, and the price was good, but I'm not thrilled with their performance on snow and ice. Nowhere near as much accelerating and stopping grip as Blizzaks on slippery surfaces. Once moving, they turn and track well. Very quiet tires too, and did not impact fuel economy. If tread wear isn't excessive, I'll consider these for my Outback next time. But for my 2wd car I will replace these with Blizzaks for maximum accelerating grip.

Got these for my AWD Tesla Model 3 due to price point and (limited) reviews. I run Blizzaks in other cars, and while nothing compares to those in terms of snow handling excellence, these tires are a good budget option.
Simple tire had them in stock, and great shipping (free and timely).

Great tire, comparable to Blizzak. Improved the experience driving my Scat Pack. If they had a higher speed rating I'd drive on them all year.
