Pros
- Exceptional wet weather grip and confidence
- Surprisingly low road noise and high comfort levels
- Strong performance in light snow and muddy conditions
- Good fuel efficiency compared to more aggressive all-terrain tires
Cons
- Reports of soft sidewalls leading to a 'floating' or unstable handling feel
- Potential for a rough ride if tire pressure is increased to compensate for sidewall flex
- Minor tread rumbling at specific low speeds
Worth knowing
- Users on modern pickups like the Ford Ranger report successful fitment without speedometer calibration issues.
- Drivers of smaller 4x4 vehicles have noted concerns regarding sidewall stiffness, suggesting the tire may feel less stable on lighter chassis setups.
