Those are the fabric "shoes" of my new "Mitsubishi Outlander Sport". After the first 2,000 km all I can say, is - very reliable, safe, secure tires, which will not cost you the earth or the farm to change \eventually\. So far I can give 10/10 on dry grip and 9/10 on wet grip, leaving road feedback & wear empty, since 2,000 km are not enough to make a correct evaluation. "Shoes" are comfy, leaving no noise, buzz or tiresome sounds at the ride, both on- and off-road. Even fuel consumption with these all-season all terrain tires, which I expected to be higher than the factory 32 mpg (8.8 liters/100 km) is somewhat similar, maybe a bit higher since the car is still under running it in, and all consumption (gasoline, oil, etc.) are supposed to be higher. "Buy again" is 9/10, since my stile of driving is leaving a lot of room for using those tires for the next 50,000 km or so. Happy driving, and no accidents, fellas!
