Only had tires on suv for couple of months now but find a quiet ride and smooth considering the roads in PA
are not the best to ride on.

They were supposed to be great for comfort and road noise but neither is true! They are very loud and do not ride smooth at all.

Just put these Westlake SU318 tires (275/45R19) on my 2010 VW Touareg to replace some very worn out Pirelli PZero tires. Huge reduction in road noise. On smooth streets, I barely hear any road noise. Definitely less road noise than the Pirellis. Have only driven a couple hundred of miles since installing, but dry and wet road handling seems to be very good and very comfortable ride. Huge snow storm last week and the tires worked fine in the snow and slush. I would recommend this tire for other SUVs. Last but not least, super great price thru SimpleTire. These cost me less than half the price had I gone with the Pirelli PZeros. Also, highly recommend using the installer option which makes for a quick and easy install from start to finish.

I've purchased all my tires here and haven't had any issues with anything, what I liked the most is that they are fast to ship off purchases!

Selling tires as part of being an auto dealer, I can say these tires are impressive. I purposely went out on a snowy/icy empty road to test them in a 2wd open diff truck and they did not slip under regular driving AT ALL. As with any tire if you push them, they will slide on ice but overall they have easily exceeded my expectations!! I was looking for a basic cheap A/S tire to just get this vehicle ready for sale and am happily surprised. Only have about 500 miles on them and it has been cold and snowy but they barely look worn at all. It is nice to be able to write a great review for once!

Backed by a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the SU318 features a computer optimized design that lowers road noises and vibrations to create a quiet, comfortable ride for drivers and passengers plus serrated siping that bites into the road to increase grip in dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions.
