Price Paid:  $550.00 from Les Schwab

Year / Model Reviewed:
2003 Potiac Vibe GT

Strengths:
Sad to learn the tire is no longer available. Handled great and I put over 80,000 combined miles (mostly highway) on the last set.

Weaknesses:
Tire was a little loud on rough rodes but my car is not known for its quite ride either.

Summary:
Would had put another set on the Vibe had they still been in production. Going to stay with the brand and try their H105.

2005 VW Passat Diesel Stationwagon

Strengths:
Great traction and cornering in wet conditions.
Wear seems to be good although I have only put a little more than 10,000 miles on them so early to tell.
Comfortable ride.
Great looks.

Weaknesses:
None so far.

Summary:
Highly recommend. Keep in mind they use a softer rubber compound that gives great road holding ability but the downside might be faster wear. So far these tires seem to give normal wear but I haven't driven them far enough to really tell. Also, knowing this, I tend to be gentle with these tires. There is no slipping & sliding with these tires in wet weather and that is my main criteria when purchasing a tire. If they wear faster so be it. I also have a set of Hankooks on my pickup (different model tire) and I have never had a problem losing traction with that vehicle and normally a pickup will slip and slide all over the place.
