I haven't put these on my vehicle yet. I ordered the studded version but they came without studs, and the studded ones were out of stock so I was unable to exchange. Super big bummer. I plan to have them studded by a tire shop and put them on for winter. I don't think I'll buy tires online again, it did save me money but it's created a hassle and took time to figure out why the wrong tires came and what to do about it.

Tires are great. Only issue was with installation. Simple tire charged me a per tire installation charge. The garage that installed the tires charged me an additional $120.00 for installation on top of Simple tire's charges. Garage received tires but had no knowledge of who Simpletire was, no contract with them, had no idea why tires were delivered to their location. Savings on the tires is good, shipping is fast but in the end, with the additional charges by the garage, made more sense to buy them outright from another shop. Hopefully Simple Tire will reimburse me for the extra installation costs.

Best studded winter out there this is my 2nd set. Went out of the way to get these old set got 3 years of heavy driving could have tried to go for a 4 th, but studs where gone and not great tread depth. Would have run longer if not a winter tire. Handle except on ice the one and only reason to get a studded tire.

The stud are quite loud, but totally worth it because the traction is amazing. Super confidence inspiring in snow and ice.

These are fantastic. We have a Dodge Caravan which we normally run the all weather Nokian WRG series, however we moved out to the country with dirt roads and a steep dirt driveway. With the snowpack on top of the driveway the van needed more bite to get up. These did the trick. As with any studded tire they are loud.
