these are made in Thailand. Very good looking tires (Bridgestone or Michelin knock-offs),,great UTQG ratings for this price (500 treadwear, traction A, temperature A ). I am an automotive professional, and so far, I approve of these tires. I installed these on my wife’s 2002 Toyota Sienna (I know.. not factory size — gots custom wheels). they ride real nice and are wearing great so far. I am going to put the same model tire in a different size on my Prius.

Bought two of these for the wife’s car and will be getting two more when the time comes. Great tire, nice and quiet. 500 AA tread wear rating. Ordered these off amazon as they were almost $25 cheaper than my local tire shop was wanting. If you need a quality tire for your daily driver, that handles well, is quiet, will last a good bit and not break the bank than I would definitely recommend these. Not a performance or racing tire by any means but a good all around tier and certainly better than any of the budget tires you might find at Walwart.

I have 2 installed on the front of my 2006 pontiac grand prix. Before I brought theses I was sliding on wet roads like crazy. After putting theses on ive been to light, and very hard down pour rain and they hold up. I was even traveling at normal highway speed.When I first had them put on, the tire shop i took them to said they look exactly like Michelin tires.Oh yea I am also a Uber Driver. So trust me I tell you theses are some good tires.I have not driven them in Snow yet(Update) December 9th 2018On ice traction is bad. On hard snow (snow that been on the ground for about a day in below freezing temperatures) they slid. But as for slushy and soft light to medium snow the work good.

Rides well quiet the fit was good the value was great if need we will buy from here again. Because of the Cadillac name people want to put on a Cadillac price these work perfect. And we had to search a lot to find them.

I had to buy a new tire because I ran over a nail on the interstate. I drive back-and-forth to work, and it’s normally a long commute so I was not surprised. However, these were the same brand that I had purchased from a mechanic. These are exactly the same and are way cheaper than going through a mechanic shop. We decided to put the tire on the wheel ourselves (please don’t try at home unless you know what you’re doing, my fiance is a car guy and his dad had a machine to get the tire on the wheel) but we saved so much money buying the tire online.
Take it from a pro –
I purchased them in May 2020 it’s now November 2020 they have been in service for 6 months and I am delighted with the quality and performance of them Not to mention the low price per tire you can get 2 tires for less than 1 Goodyear or BFGoodrich. And they ( STOP SHORTER AND GRIP BETTER ON RAIN SOAKED ROADS THEN BF GOODRICH OR GOODYEAR’S ) Now that a win win in my BOOK. I highly recommend them.

I brought this brand tire a few years ago. I was not disappointed in the performance. The price per tire is great compared to the Auto stores. Buy and and find a good place to get mounted. You will save money!
