Ran through the washout and that was basically un-noticable. Pushed a wake in a deeper washout that came up over my front fenders. No real speed there though, just not room for it.

Interstate ramp near 60mph and I probably would not have even gone that fast if dry.

Hit 45 on a slight down incline with lost of leaves and rain. Tried to get my tires in the heavy leaf line. Hard braking but so as not to activate the ABS.

Nothing... No steering feel, no slip, no pull, no slow down. It was as though everything was dry.

I constantly monitor the air pressure and aside from temp changes the pressure stays put. I run 37-40 depending on what the temp is.

So far I would buy again without hesitation.

I've also use them on dirt and gravel roads in wet and dry conditions. They've been amazing in every situation, and by amazing I mean boring since they grip the road so well. Tire wear also seems great so far. Tread still looks new.

Would still highly recommend, and really glad I decided to go with these.

How'd they do through the winter?

I'm strongly considering a set of these in stock size for my 13 Trail.

Thanks!

We actually didn't have a bad winter here in CT this year. Only a few snowstorms with more than 6". All in all though I would still recommend them.

Aside from the handling, they are wearing great. Have about 10K on them so far. They are also great in rain, which we've been getting a lot of in the past month or so. Never loose traction even around tight corners in the pouring rain.

Nothing but good things to say. They're not as beefy or aggressive as some other comparable tires, but for what I use them for, and they conditions I've driven them in, I'm very happy with my decision.
