Fantastic rubber tyre. Replacement tires for a Suzuki Grand Vitara, size 225/65 R17. Because of its adaptable tread pattern, I anticipated a louder tire, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it made no noise at all. The tread pattern also makes it evident that you can use them off-road without fear of damaging them on asphalt. Like most people, I did a lot of research on tires before getting them, but my experience behind the wheel has convinced me that everything I'd read was either wrong or irrelevant.
