Before making a purchase, I examined evaluations on many models and decided on this particular type of tires because of its adaptability. The roads to the village where we are now building a country home are not the best, so I wanted to be sure I wouldn't get stopped somewhere in the middle, especially with a newborn in the car. I noticed that several people have written about this model's noise, but I was oblivious to it. The soundproofing in my car is still good. I don't have any complaints or queries about the pricing, handling, or speedy behavior; everything is OK in my book. I'll start thinking about Bridgestone winter tires now.
