Not a terrible tire for the money; it has good handling in a rapid turn and keeps it like rails (if the driver is able to control the vehicle). People are boisterous in their writing. My guess is that the issue is within the automobile itself and not with the tires, given that the Sportage exhibited no unusually high levels of noise. It also adheres well in the brake and start, does not use and does not grind, for example, like some form of kumho that acts as if it were in oil. well-balanced and free of any difficulties. I have no experience driving in the rain, and I don't do it often enough to get a good sense of how quickly things wear down. But other than that, I would suggest these tires.
