I have been riding on these tires for 34 months
I have been driving in these tires for 34 months and thousands of miles. I don't experience any road noise, the tires work well in the rain. I live in the north east part of the country and experience lake affect snow, the tires seemed fine on my 4 wheel drive Jeep Compass. I was always able to get through the high snow and and the tires seem to grip the road just fine.

I purchased this tire for the rear of a Honda Valkyrie Interstate motorcycle. It handles excellent. Very quiet. Smooth riding. It feels and handles like a motorcycle tire. Very pleased.

I think these tires are holding up fairly well. I bought them in the fall and our winter wasn't too bad but the tires did do well when there was snow on the ground. Somehow, a nail punctured the sidewall and the warranty is a pain to get because you have to provide a picture but also, a letter from the place that "fixed" your tire. It's very annoying to try to get a letter during a pandemic.
An all-season tire, the EK1000 from Otani is designed for use on passenger cars and offers drivers strong traction in wet and dry conditions.
Features & Benefits
All-season tread
Black sidewall
Special tread design reduces road noises to give drivers a quiet, comfortable ride
Whether commuting to work, heading to the grocery store, or simply taking a drive on a nice day, drivers of passenger cars often want a tire that's built to perform year-round. Fortunately, all-season tires are built with these drivers in mind, and the EK1000 from Otani features an asymmetrical tread pattern that drains water from the contact patch to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. Offering drivers a quiet, comfortable ride, the EK1000's outer tread pattern strengthens traction on dry roads to give drivers the year-round performance that they crave.
