Replaced the bear with this Continental model. I negotiated a lower price and had some reservations before making the purchase. After a few weeks, I had a basis for comparison. A tire capable of handling city streets, the interstate, and even the weak off-road ramps with ease was required. As a driver, I put it through its paces. Just hoping it rains where he is. And look at these gorgeous puddles and raindrops! When hydroplaning is stopped in its tracks by strong braking, taxiing continues to remain still. Small stones are hammered into the tread after leaving the asphalt, but they fly out onto the track. I was completely satisfied. What I suggest.
