they`re what im currently running and the performance of them, compared to michelins, BFG`s, nittos, and ESPECIALLY goodyears, is second to none!

Hydroplaning=nonexistent.

wet and dry traction is great, and they are SCARY quiet. =]

do yourself a favor and look into these. my next set of tires will be a set of these or some bfg g-force

How fast they wore down, and their traction; I am referring to snow and wet though in Michigan. In the dry, they are fine. I found them a tad bit loud too.

I would be all over the vreds, but that is barring they make them in you size. Same with the BFG`s

If you go to the big tire review site, the Goodyears get great reviews. My Michelins get poor reviews but I am just wondering how realistic the reviews are...it is sorta like rating durability of a lsp....everyone`s idea of beading is different.

You got it. I will be people have great experiences with tires that we have bad experiences with, and vice versus. Whatever fits your budget and overall has good reviews will generally work. What you can do is look at the Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG) Rating for treadwear, traction, and temperature ratings. If those are satisfactory, then you might as well buy the tire barring you are comfortable with the design and if its purpose built for snow/wet/dry/etc
