Strength:

Cheap Tire - DO NOT BUY

Weakness:

Not able to handle sustained highway speed. Tires are noisy and do not roll smoothly, especially if left to sit for a week or two.

Worst tire ever. Bought a set of four for my 2001 GMC 2500. Tires are noisy and never rode smooth on the road. After only 20,000 miles while traveling at highway speed 65mph, had a catastrophic tire delamination of left front tire. Put on spare, then on the way home the right side front had a blowout. Would never buy or recommend this tire to anyone. lucky on one was injured,

Strength:

I went to this tire for the quiet ride.

29,000 Miles Belt separated, causing car to pull right. They keep changing the name of the tires, making it hard to know what you are buying. I just go to a different brand.

Garbage, had a blowout and pep boys said the trread pattern had changed so no new tire for me. Not covered under warranty, ended up scrapping the remaining 3 and bought 2 new sets of good tires. 1. Kumoh's good dry traction, no snow traction. 2. Toyo proxies, great traction no noise, undecided on snow traction.

Strength:

None. Maybe they look ok.

Weakness:

They fail under duress. Cheap tire.

Purchased a 4 60K miles Futura Adventurer LT SR rated tires for my E-150 Ford Conversion Van. Lost the first one on the Interstate after the thread separated; it was replaced by Pep Boys with no questions asked. Few months later a second tire lost its roundness and had to be replaced, again under warranty. Last weekend I lost another 2 in a single 600 mile trip, one catastrophically, the other one a few hours later after it developed a “bump” on the side. Today Pep Boys offered to install a new set of tires of my choice, I think I’ll choose Michelin or something similar. These tire cannot handle the stress of prolonged highway driving, they might be ok for going to the grocery store and back

Strength:

Excellant dry traction much better than the Toyo proxies and Firestone tire the car came with

Weakness:

No snow traction at all. Crashed into a guard rail last snow storm. Could not get up even the smallest hill without a running start. Anti lock bracks come on all the time even on wet roads. Very noisy.

Medium priced tire. Good dry traction, med wet traction, no snow traction. Very noisy tires. Car will not run straight even after 4 alingment jobs. Would not buy or recommend these tires to anyone.

Strength:

Good all weather tire. Plows through showers and thunderstorms like a champ. I'm sure these will last at least the 60K milage warranty, possible more with regular rotation and balancing.

Weakness:

I've found these tires are extremely noisy even though the tire tread pattern isn't that aggressive. These tire sound like a "grinding" noise at all speeds. Good thing I listen to the radio at loud volumes.

I was looking for a relatively inexpensive set of tire. It seems all tires are alike: you get what you pay for. If there was a way to determine tire noise before purchasing, I would not purchase these tire again based on that criteria.

Strength:

Won't hydroplane, handle good on wet conditions. My Eagle GAs would hydroplane a lot. Look good, everybody I've shown them, like em. Pretty cheap, dont need to worry much about your pocket. Directional.

Weakness:

May make a little road noise, but if you listen to the radio or CD player, you won't hear a thing. I don't complain about that.

So far, so good.
