The tyres are very good in terms of quietness and flexibility, but they wear out quickly when used on rough terrains.

What is a Touring tyre?
Touring tyres are everyday tyres that put value, comfort and wear first. They give up some of the wet and dry performance of the premium options in exchange for a lower price.
All Season tyres compromise between summer and winter ability so one set can stay on the car all year. In moderate climates a good all season tyre is a genuinely strong choice; in hard winters or hot summers a dedicated tyre still does the job better.
The SUV and 4x4 All Season Touring Tyres owners rate highest
Rated purely by the people who drive on them, the top tyre in the category is the Event ML698 - 83% from 10 owner reviews. 21 tyres have enough reviews to qualify; this is the same ranking behind the category position shown on each tyre's own page.

What drivers say about SUV and 4x4 All Season Touring Tyres
The most recent owner reviews from this category, in their own words.
Very poor tire overall. Worn out quickly. Will never buy again.
These tires did well in every category. Dry traction, wet, snow, ice, and rolling resistance/mpg. I can't give direct comparisons because they were the first and only tires I had on my 4runner. It's hard to say whether it was the tires or driving more gently, but I never found or exceeded their limits, never really lost traction, and managaged to exceed my expected mpg. I was averaging >20 mpg on a lifted 20 year old 4runner.
I drove these tires for about 6 years and 35k miles. I replaced them due to age, not tread wear. The biggest complaint I would have would be that the tread on the shoulders didn't seem to have full-depth sipping as my shoulders were balding after about 20-25k.
As a discounted less expensive version of a more popular Michelin tire, they're a great alternative.
Another great experience with Sailun Tires. I'd be comparing these to the Yokohama Geolandar H/Ts. Overall it'd be hard to compare the two as I only drove these tires for one spring to fall season each, but I can definitely say that for the price I still prefer the Sailuns. Both were comparable in basic everyday truck driving: commuting, light towing, highway driving, etc... Where the Sailun stood out though is the price and current availability. As of me writing this review this model of Yokohama isn't even available anymore. Sailun in my opinion as a company in Canada is hard to beat; bang for buck wise. With the mileage I've put on the Sailuns I'd say I still have 60-65% left on em'.
I have these tire on a 2004 Tahoe LT, RWD. I have a decent amount of experience with these tires, even with the limited milage I have on this set because I actually used to work for Firestone Complete Autocare, and all my coworkers, and I mean all, between the couple shops I worked at while I was there, loved them. They're the best tire IMO Firestone/Bridgestone currently make for trucks/suvs if you're looking highway tread. I've see one lady, actually, have 85k on them on like a 15 Grand Cherokee and they still had 5/32nd tread. They're very consistent with treadwear, and they are fairly comfortable tires, though with my personal vehicle having such large sidewalls and shocks replaced with Excel-G's, my personal experience may not be the most suitable for someone with a more modern crossover suv/cuv. Either way, highly recommended, they're excellent tires. I also have not seen any with cupping issues, separation, chunking, etc with them. At least not because of the tire, anyways. I've asked my customers, too, if they've had any complaints with them and I have only heard positive things about them. So if you're considering buying tires, this is the one I would recommend. I do not honestly believe you can get a better tire for the price in this segment.
I installed these tires on a DAIHATSU TERIOS II 1.5 4X4 in 2015, (third tire on the same car). When switching from the previous Dunlop grandtrek touring (quite happy, I did not prefer them again due to a lower marking on the EU label) I noticed a big difference in the behavior of the car. It became noticeably harder on bumps on paved roads (potholes, manhole covers, etc.). I was quite dissatisfied but I got used to it. The car is used as a family car mainly on the road. Off-road it is occasionally taken on vacations and excursions. On a winter excursion to the mountainous and snowy Karpenisi (Greece) with careful driving the tires performed satisfactorily (they have an m+s marking). The same in the summer on the Cyclades islands (Greece), on steep, rough dirt roads to approach isolated beaches. In general, there was no problem either on wet or dry roads (city, country roads, highways, etc.). They were changed after 6 years and 70,000 km not due to wear since they had more km to go, but due to aging. (I put Riken 701 in 2021, all the positives of Michelin + more economical and comfortable to drive.). In conclusion, with prudent driving, I was satisfied with the grip in all terrains and weather conditions. Also, the tread does not wear out, but the tire is not as comfortable as I expected. (The weight of the vehicle also plays an important role in the above). I would not prefer it again due to high cost and lack of comfort.
Put 2 new all terrain tyres at the rear, drove on a gravel road and both tyres was damaged, very poor quality.
Tyre wear is good and wet weather grip is impressive. Comfort ok. However noise, although initially ok up to 5k miles has become steadily worse. Now at around 12k it is very intrusive, particularly between 45 and 55 mph.
The tyres are Cruger premium on a Evoke.
Good value but will have to investigate the increasing noise!
