Strengths:
excellent on wet or dry

Weaknesses:
not very good on wet snow

Summary:
I am impressed by their grip and comfort in dry or wet conditions, but I don't recommend them for driving in snow. For the winter you should get some winter tires. I don't find them noisy. The tread could last longer.

Price Paid:  $600.00 from Tire Kingdom

Strengths:
Initially very smooth ride, quiet and good traction.

Weaknesses:
VERY POOR TREAD LIFE. OVERPRICED!!!!!

Basically most tread gone by 30000 - not 90000 as touted. The dealer did not stand by the warranty (avoid Tire Kingdom!).

Summary:
I bought a set of Michelin Hydroedge tires before going on a long road trip with my family. I spent extra to get tires that came highly recommended by the salesman as "the best." Initially, the ride was smooth as glass and very quiet with good handling. Despite proper maintainance with regular tire rotation, allignment and pressure checks - the tires lost most tread by 30000 miles. I've been riding on nearly bald tires for the last two months until I can get the money for a good set from a different company.

Strengths:
superior traction-both dry & wet

Weaknesses:
overpriced

Summary:
Don't know the specifics with the prior reviewer but I love these tires so far!

It's been raining hard here since installing them so I got to find out about their wet traction performance right away...and so far I'm definitely impressed!

I can go thru standing water with confidence...even at highway speeds.

Noise levels acceptable...I've has far worst tires in this category.
