I have not tested these on icy roads yet. Very comfortable for road travel. Tread ware never gets a 5 due to travelling on gravel roads.

THIS IS MY SECOND SET. I GOT 83000 ON MY FIRST SET. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE HIGHLY TIRES.
Bought these tires roughly 5 or 6 years ago and they're still on my car today have about 40,000 miles on them they wear really good. I live in Pennsylvania and they worked well in all weather. The only thing negative I can say about them is when I bought them they had an order to them that lasted for a week or two. Which wasn't a big deal. This is just if I had a nitpick. They're great tires and I would buy them again
2014 Ram 1500 Bighorn with 130,000 miles just about to replace my second set of Sumitomo HT 275/60/20 no complaints. My service writer at the dealer is pushing Michelin, not gonna have it. I live in South Florida and have yet to have an issue. Take a lot of trips to the Keys, they are quiet on I-95
So far so good. Have driven through monsoon rain at highway speeds and not a wobble. Ride is quite. Cornering is confident. Happy with the purchase at this point.
Very nice tires i live in alaska always wet or icy these handle very good on ice almost as good as blizzak tires which is crazy on my 97 f250 they held up one wreck in the persons truck i got em from and then in one my wrecks and now on my new 1992 7.3 f250 and have ran over glass countless times and over 6,000 miles on em and they still look as new as the came from the store
I've been very pleased with these tires on my Ram 1500. Treadwear is awesome, quiet. Would purchase again if available.
I am very well satisfied with these tires. I had them installed on my 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500. The price was incredible and shipping and installation went without a hitch. I am retired and don't drive that many miles but I use my truck to run errands, haul anything from wood to broken concrete and tow my 21' boat down the highway. Since I live in South Louisiana I can't rate the tires on winter traction but have had no problems in wet or dry conditions with or without my boat behind me. When it is time to replace these tires I will shop for them at Simple Tire again.
These tires are way better than I had expected
These tires have held up good so far I'm very pleased with them.
