Belts failed about 10k miles in.
Really quite poorly built tires. Belts failed very quickly in two of the four tires. Balance perfectly but car rode like it had bent wheels. Replaced the tires, problem disappeared. These are cheap for a reason.

The tires showed up in two days and all four balanced out well. They are great riding and get good traction in the rain, I do not know about snow as this is a summer car. Would definitely buy again!

I would not recommend this place at all it's a scam. Soon as you pay the size changes and there's nothing you can do except wait for the wrong ones return them and pay a 15$ per tire fee complete rip off

I wouldn't buy these thinking they are going to help in wet or winter seasons.. they barely get any traction during the winter and even slides around a lot in rain. Definitely wasn't worth buying these tires

Handles as expected on dry roads with little noise, have already hydroplaned twice in wet conditions, not something I expected with such an aggressive tread. Decent handling on the little snow and ice we get in Oklahoma. Developed tread separations in two tires, contacted simple tire to get them inspected and replaced but decided that since they lasted as long as they did that I would just leave it alone. Will probably buy another set when these wear out because they're decent quality for the price.

I live in Tucson, so there's no real winter here. My car rides beautifully with hardly any noise. I don't drive it a lot, so they should last a long time. Best part of buying these tires was the price. That could not be beat anywhere!
