“Not a comfort tire, feel very stiff. Too bumpy for my Cadillac. Gives a skateboard ride quality. If occasional performance is your fun then this is a good choice. Wear is good and handling is good. Normal driving in...”

Featured reviews
“Tires are extremely noisy as they wear in. The wear, grip and feedback are average - nothing to write home about. I would not buy again and put out a little more money next purchase for some Cooper or Goodyear tires”
“Nothing much to say about the tyre apart from the shocking wear rate. Installed brand new, on the (mostly non-driving) rear of the Santa Fe, at 165K km, and the tyres are fairly much down to the wear bars at 201K km...”

Has a 520 treadwear rating, and haven't noticed any wear whatsoever so far to be honest! And it hasn't been looked after - Managed to get air on gravel, over 150kmph along sand, and taking sharp corners at high speed and a lot of strain put on it during fast acceleration! So its amazing how there is no wear so far!
The wet weather performance is also amazing. Not the slightest chance of aquaplaning. Hit water 10-20mm deep at 150kmph and the wheel hardly pulled away!
People always ask about the noise of this tyre - I like the hum it makes, but saying that its not annoying or noticeable along the open road. Only hear it on smooth asphalt and low speed turns on smooth surfaces.
Its a stunning looking tyre and tread pattern! The big X's make a statement! If you are into fancy footwear, this is an excellent option.
Also have heard that it is an awesome tyre for snow - Can't say anything on this yet but can't wait and expecting high performance from them! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TYRE!!!! :)
As the first review - I'll add a few of the technical specs of this tyre below. Enjoy:
- All-Season high performance tire designed for crossover utility vehicles
- Adaptive Response Sidewall technology delivers a smooth ride when cruising and excellent handling during spirited driving
- Straight and slanted circumferential grooves increase water dispersion efficiency for excellent hydroplaning resistance and wet weather performance
- Large outer shoulder block design increases overall lateral stiffness for improved cornering and handling
- 2-in-1 groove design on inner shoulder increases wet weather traction while improving overall wear pattern
- Multi-pitch tread block technology minimizes pattern noise for a quiet and comfortable ride
- M&S All-Season rated
- UTQG 520 A A
Just BTW I am a strong supporter of the Maxxis Escapade CUV CV-01! Its never let me down and I don't expect it ever will.
