I've only had these a couple of weeks and no rain or snow yet so I can't comment on that. They do ride really nice compared to my old tires EXCEPT on grooved pavement. On my unavoidable freeway commute these things catch those grooves and jerk my car all over the place. It's terrifying and enough to make you nauseated. I wish I would have known that before I bought these, so I hope this helps someone else.

These tires makes some good swings and flower pot. The company sucks... SCAMMERS at best. BUYER be AWARE because if you mount a set of defective tires... YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY. TRUST me because I did, MAYBE, but I have put in a dispute with American Express... we'll see what happens. I'll keep you posted if SIMPESCAMMERS don't block my account AGAIN.

SCAMMERS. Buy at you own risk. SimpleTire don't consider refunds. If you have money to throw away then buy tires from SimpleTire. Customer service is a negative ten.

Absolutely the worst tire ever made. If you mount the tires without knowing beforehand how loud they are or if they are defective then you just ate $400 plus mounting cost because SIMPLETIRE will not take them back. BUYER BEWARE. Absolutely the WORST customer service. I will be fighting for a refund by all means necessary.
They have asked my for all kinds of paperwork from Firestone Complete Auto Care (the installers).
***** THIS COMPANY IS A SHAM ***** THEY DO NOT GUARANTEE THEIR TIRES ***** COMPANY DEMAND EXCESSIVE "PROOF" OF ANY PROBLEMS WHICH IS BEYOND REASONABLE ***** BUYER BEWARE ****** THIS IS A SCAM!!!******"
Direct Quote:
"I am the Supervisor here with the Customer Support Team and I would like to help you with all the possible options available with your Return Request.
However, kindly understand that for any tires that have not been mounted or used, sending them back to the Warehouse is not a problem at all without any questions asked. On the other hand, if the tires were mounted and driven on, it's important for us to provide the Install-on Receipt and an Installer Certificate (not necessary from the place of Installation) describing the issue with the tires in detail. This helps the Warehouse to validate the return request and refund our customers because the tires have to be sent back to the Manufacturer by the Warehouse against a Warranty Claim. Please note that we have had several instances in the past wherein the returned defective/damaged product was not the same as the one shipped initially.
That is the only reason we have been asking for such a document since your first email communication. Once we have the Installer Certificate/Inspection Report we will be able to make arrangements for the tires to be returned and a refund to be issued to you."
At the time of purchase there was nothing indicating that I should get diagnostics, install on receipts nor a Installer Certificates and the numbers other things the have requested from me. Firestone is SimpleTire recommended installers and Firestone should have provided any paperwork necessary.

This is the noisiest tires that I've ever purchase for a car or truck. They produce so much noise on my G37 Journey that I will have to purchase a new set of tires and waste nearly $500 in the process. I call support but they don't answer and there mailbox is full... I see why. I'll end-up having to call the BBB before it over with... hope not. These tires are advertised as being design for quietness... what a joke. I would love for customer support to contact me to see if there is a fix for the noise. I just had them installed today and by the time I got back home my ears was ringing from the whinning noise created by these tires.
