Enjoyed on new 2018 Chrysler Pacifica, senior citizen driven, comfortable and responsive, handles well in Florida dry and wet roads...But tread wear is very poor in 2.5 years of use and just under 16,000 miles there is only about 25% left on tires. And yes I did say "in 16,000 of driving only 25% of tread life is left",

This is my second time I'm installing these tires. The first lasted 60k miles and they still had some tread left. This is a great tire in every respect. All weather, low noise, maintenance free. Never had to add air even once during all this time (4 years).
