Cheap tire good for dry roads.
Dealership put these on because they're so cheap, not made for New England weather. On my all wheel drive CX-30 driving the speed limit I almost spun out and hit a guard rail several times in the snow. Hydroplanes in standing water worse than any tire I've ever used, this thing tries to kill you. The tread life is ridiculously long lasting, probably because the rubber is as hard as a hockey puck: because of this they are bouncy and loud, the ride quality is truly terrible. If you have a cheap economy car and live where it never snows or rains, maybe consider these.

Sorry these tires are trash ... Because of the road noise.... Sounds like I have off road tires on a jeep. Lucky I work from home and don't do that much driving but I need to replace them soon just because of the road noise.

Good buy
Was skeptical due to the price but they performed well. No issues in wet or snow and they were surprisingly smooth and stable at high speed. Only put about 5k on them before selling the car but I'd buy again for sure.

Great all-season tire. Phenomenal longevity.
This tire isn't the best for rain, ice, or snow, but it got me through a New England winter with no major hiccups. I have put about 25k on these tires, and don't know what the previous owner of my car had driven on them, and the tread is still perfectly deep. This is an awesome bang-for-the-buck tire setup.

Surprised the hell out of me. It's as good of a tire as I normally pay $150 each for.

These tires were on my Mustang when I bought it. They were not bought from SimpleTire. There's about 15,000 miles on them. They're "okay" in good driving conditions, but terrible in rain or if there is a heavy dew in the morning. The previous owner said driving in snow was horrifying and part of the reason they were getting rid of the car. I know part of the issue is that Mustangs don't preform well in less-then-ideal driving conditions. I'll be swapping these out ASAP, even though they have a lot of tread left on them.
P.S. Still love the simpletireshop.com Dunlops I put on my Focus!
