Changed Continental models from the bear to this one. 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. He's only holding out hope that it will rain soon. Here we have some gorgeous raindrops and puddles. Good stopping power puts an end to hydroplaning, but taxiing always stays put. Small stones are hammered into the tread, but they fly out onto the track after the tires leave the asphalt. I was completely satisfied. This is something I would suggest.
