These tires are absolute garbage.
All 4 tires are completely egg shape like the mold was bad . And when I let Simple Tire know of this issue, they give me stupid hoops to jump through . I sent even a video of the the tires being spun and you can see clearly everyone was egg shaped. Still to this day , Simple Tire has not refunded nor replaced these. I actually had to buy another set from Coker Tire . Now that being said , Coker Tire is now my go to for tires .
I would not buy anything from Simple Tire . They DO NOT stand behind what they sell!

I bought these tires yesterday. When i left i noticed a vibration through out the whole car. I took them back to where i bought them and they re balanced them to no avail. Im not sure if its his junky equipment but they wont balance out. Im going to ask him if i take them to another place to have them re balanced if they prove to be out of balance if he will pay for the cost to have them re balanced. VERY UNHAPPY!!!

Every single tire was out of round around 1/4 inch . It's like they come out of a bad mold. I submitted all the correct replacement paperwork and also a video of the problem and simpletire claimed not enough information to submit a replacement. I would definitely steer clear from buying tires from this company. Good price but zero warranty.

The tires seem to be fine, I have not had them on very long. Curious to see what they are like on the ice and snow.
