	Initial Review, 35,500 Miles on Tires May 31, 2012 Bought these tires as a dedicated summer tires last year as I have separate winter tires. In the beginning the ride and noise quality was excellent. I rotated them several times as the fronts were wearing more on the inside to even things out. I did notice at speeds around 100km/60mph a thumping noise as the tires wore, and eventually some vibration under braking, but thought maybe the brake rotors. So the other day got a puncture and had to put on my snows. With the snows, no vibration under braking or noise at 100km. So now shopping for new tires and not sure if I will buy these again. The price is good and the initial front end life is great, but over the crest it falls off fairly quickly. So now looking at it's sister tire the DWS. This one has a Treadwear of 540 compared to 340 and is not far behind in all ratings and slighly cheaper with some snow performance. Read All Reviews for This Tire \| Write a Review for This Tire
