We had these tires before and really wanted to get them again. Simple tire was the only place we could find them. We ordered them, then they didn't arrive when they should have. Even though the inventory said they were there, only two could be found. It took several more days to track them down and ship them. Everyone we spoke with was very helpful and up front with what happened and did not stop until we had what we ordered and paid for. It wasn't a smooth transaction but several people stepped up to help and did actually follow thru very well. All in all, I would recommend Simple Tire.

Had these on my old truck and was impressed with the grip in ice and snow. Not for aggressive off road driving but great for roads and jobsite in the worst conditions.

I live just outside Milwaukee, WI so snow and ice traction is more important to me than ride and noise. I have been installing winter tires on my cars for 25 years so I've used most brands by now. I tried to pick an aggressive snow tire. These ride as good or better than the Blizzaks I replaced. The noise level is as good or better as well. Snow and ice traction is excellent. My minivan is like a 4 wheel drive in the snow. So far I am very happy with the purchase although I cannot attest to tire wear as I've only put 200o miles on the tires so far. Simply tire has excellent prices/service.

Not enough mileage to give a thorough review but surprisingly quiet for the type of tire and has given my wife heaps more confidence when conditions get dicey. Hoping to get at least 3 winters out of them.
