I just put these on and about 1000 miles on them. So far, I like them. They are louder than my factory installed Continentals, but they are more aggressive. They run smooth and handle well. They grip decent. I ran them on dry, wet, snowy, slushy and ice. They did really well. I didn't even notice the consistency change much under me. I lost about 2mpg so far. No changes other than the tires. Talking to the tire folks, rotations every 5k and alignments are CRITICAL to getting the life out of them. Don't be mad when your car wears them out because of a lack of maintenance. They do great for my AWD daily driver.
