I have not mounted the tires I received because I am deeply upset that they are date coded as 7 years old!

These tires are really all you could ask for at their price range - I'm only hesitant to give 5 stars because I'm sure there are some tires out there that are better in ways. But they're good on and off-road, in all seasons, and won't break the bank.

I was pleased with the service I got when I ordered my tires. The price was the best I could find and when I inspected them I was blown away by the overall structure and appearance. I will be ordering from Simple Tire again in the future.
