I bought these because of the perfect ratings for traction, wear and braking. The tire wear was rated over 700 and was rated as quiet handling (that's almost unheard of) so, i bought these first dor my 2011 camry and then my 2012 rav4 4wd 4 cylinder . I was surprised because it is a small suv, and has 4wd, and I had these tires before on my 2011 camry and it made a night and day difference. The road noise was cut in half and the winter gripping was doubled. However, then due start to get sloppy in 6 inches or more of snow from a dead stop. However, camrys are light in weight to begin with and not 4wd. I used a tread guage at 9000 miles and it wasn't even a difference of a paperclip thickness. It was like a piece of paper. I was impressed. Anyway, shipping was fast, tires were never used, and nicely packages. I have used the rav once 9n the snow with these tires. There was 10 inches and the 4wd never kicked in. ( rav4 is front wheel drive. You hit a button for 4wd. However, if it senses a slip in a tire it will automatically engage 4wd). It never kicked it in. I have 6000 miles on these with rave and no tread wear showing.- Very quiet and smooth tires.- They behave very predictably.- Getting these tires made me love my car again as the suspension feels soooo smooth, even if the car roll (leaning left or right when turning) is more noticeable than with the original tires, a welcome trade off.Excellent for dry braking, very good for dry cornering, good for wet breaking, not so good for wet cornering. I am in FL so no snow or ice.With a 740 AA UTQG they are supposed to last a long time. We will see about that.My car came with Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS, H rated tires from the factory, which made the car feel as if on rails, very stable. At their limit, they would loose a very good grip, without warning though. I was tired with the suspension the car feeling too stiffAt first I was a little disappointed with the snow, ice and rain traction. After two weeks they got much better gripping in the above weather. Still not as good as the General Altimax they replaced, but pretty close. What I do like better than the General is the sidewalls are stiffer, cornering is better and they're not as mushy. I got two sidewall blowouts with General because I think the sidewall is thin. Not as worried about the same with these. Now let's see if I can get 60k out of them like General... Good buy and the tires weren't old or anything according to the date code. With Prime the free shipping was better than Tire Rack. Also, the tread is deeper than many tires. 11/32 vs. 9/32.Bought 2 used tires with condition 9/32. After ordering they rang and said one tire failed the check and so I was ok to swap to Continental brand instead. Delivery fast to NJ. Got local mechanic to put them on and all was looking good, drove a bit that day but overnight the front left was completely flat. Rang them and they were going to either send replacement or refund, I didn't want to drive on the spare for a few days so went to PepBoys to get it repaired but the hole could not be plugged so that meant a whole new tire to buy and put on. Possible we just got unlucky, especially as the tire did hold air for a few hours after being put on, but the gash is quite visible when inspecting the tire so it makes me wonder what the quality checks are really like. After sending a picture of the failed tire, with a visible gash in it we did get a full refund for it, but for the hassle and cost of having to get a new tire put on, it makes me wary of used tires in general.Good tireOne of the best quietest touring Tries, a Japanese brand that speake for itself.It's a reliable tire with a reasonable price, I am using it on a minivan, road noise reduced and handling improved compared to another brand in the same price range with a bit higher price.The AVID ASCEND is a truly reliable tire. Not like the Geolanders that get bald after 40k. I put these on the Lexus NX and the ride just got even better. They do make less noise and the tread doesn’t wear off so quick. I’m pleasantly surprised. Would recommend!!I purchased these tires for my last Honda Odyssey. I loved them, so I put them on my latest Honda Odyssey. Yes, they are a little more expensive than some of the other tires, but what I love about them is how quite they are! I was getting a ton of road noise with the Michelins I was running so I switched to these and they are fantastic!傘自体の性能は一般的な傘と同様です。デザインは良く出来ており、子供は大変満足しています。
