4.5 Star
I have not tested these on icy roads yet. Very comfortable for road travel. Tread ware never gets a 5 due to travelling on gravel roads.
Tires=good. SimpleTire tire age policy=bad.
I haven't mounted the tires yet, as the tires I received were almost 3 years old!!! So this review is mainly about the age of the tires I received and the SimpleTire tire age policy, instead of the tires themselves. Very disappointed in the age of the tires I received. All other tires I have bought from SimpleTire, and all other online tire places, have been very fresh tires...some within weeks of manufacture. I realize SimpleTires policy is to ship tires that are less than 4 years old, but the tires I received are almost 3 years old already (DOT code 2921...29th week of 2021). I chatted with customer service about my concerns and the only thing I got from them was the canned answers of their policy is to ship tires that are less than 4 years old and that I could return them, but they can't guarantee any tires I receive will have a more recent manufacture date. I asked about a partial refund, because of the age of the tires, but they refused and just reiterated I could return the tires (for a $20 shipping fee per tire). These tires will go on a truck that doesn't get driven much (less than 5K a year), so the tires will dry rot/crack and be unusable (safety issue) long before I wear them out. And based on my last tires, is about 6 years (even though I kept the tires covered and sprayed with 303 Protectant when not in use). The tires themselves look like good tires, as far as the tread pattern, tread depth, and treadwear (60K, supposedly). Hopefully, I can get more than 3-4 years out of the tires before they dry out, crack and become a safety issue (or worst case blow out and damage my vehicle and/or cause an accident). I guess I'll see. Strictly based on the age of the tires I received, I would not buy these tires again. If I could get newer/fresher tires, I would buy again.
THIS IS MY SECOND SET I GOT 83,000 MILES ON FIRST
THIS IS MY SECOND SET. I GOT 83000 ON MY FIRST SET. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE HIGHLY TIRES.
Great tires the encounter HT
Bought these tires roughly 5 or 6 years ago and they're still on my car today have about 40,000 miles on them they wear really good. I live in Pennsylvania and they worked well in all weather. The only thing negative I can say about them is when I bought them they had an order to them that lasted for a week or two. Which wasn't a big deal. This is just if I had a nitpick. They're great tires and I would buy them again
Great tires
2014 Ram 1500 Bighorn with 130,000 miles just about to replace my second set of Sumitomo HT 275/60/20 no complaints. My service writer at the dealer is pushing Michelin, not gonna have it. I live in South Florida and have yet to have an issue. Take a lot of trips to the Keys, they are quiet on I-95
Confident with purchase
So far so good. Have driven through monsoon rain at highway speeds and not a wobble. Ride is quite. Cornering is confident. Happy with the purchase at this point.
Very nice tires i live in alaska always wet or icy these handle very good on ice almost as good as blizzak tires which is crazy on my 97 f250 they held up one wreck in the persons truck i got em from and then in one my wrecks and now on my new 1992 7.3 f250 and have ran over glass countless times and over 6,000 miles on em and they still look as new as the came from the store
Idk why the discounts ???? The Tires are $158 the same price thay been everywhere else juat inflated the price to make it look like a real discount if you gonna discount doit for real dont bullshit
I've been very pleased with these tires on my Ram 1500. Treadwear is awesome, quiet. Would purchase again if available.
I am very well satisfied with these tires. I had them installed on my 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500. The price was incredible and shipping and installation went without a hitch. I am retired and don't drive that many miles but I use my truck to run errands, haul anything from wood to broken concrete and tow my 21' boat down the highway. Since I live in South Louisiana I can't rate the tires on winter traction but have had no problems in wet or dry conditions with or without my boat behind me. When it is time to replace these tires I will shop for them at Simple Tire again.
