These are not performance tires by any stretch of the imagination, but for the price, the tread life and ride quality seem to be pretty great on my miata. I drift the car so treadwear is important, and my experience with tire wear is very good.

These tire were as good, if not better than what the previous reviews I read on them. Their still looking like new going into 3 months with them. Hard to give a rating on winter/wet traction when we rarely have those here.

Very quiet comfortable ride, good wet traction. I haven't had them long enough to judge snow or tread life.
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.
