Very sporty tyre, quite hard but precise handling. You can drive an SUV as an sport car. Because of spirited driving they wore out in three summers, driven approximately 25000 km. Very good in the wet (even with litle tread) and aquaplaning. Didn't have any truble with the tyres, so yes i would buy again.

I bought the car along with the tires, drove 20.000 km on them, and they are relatively good tires, getting a bit old and noisy, they have a good grip on dry roads, but on wet they feel slippery, especially with aquaplanning they don't do well. Don't know how new ones feel like, these are 2 years old. The ride is hard, but that might be due to low sidewall of the tire. Looking to replace them with Nokian Weatherproof SUV tires.

Got these tyres back at the March 2016 and now middle of Jan 2017 they're down to 2mm & just about finished. Previous Hankook tyres I'd had on a Hyundai Santa Fe were 30k + when I sold it on and they still had about 4mm of thread.
Although they've preformed well in other ways I'm disappointed with how quickly they've worn in comparison the Hankook tyres

Great tyres. Changed the back last August and done around 12K on them - showing very little wear at all. Excellent in the wet and responsive and full of grip on dry roads. Just ordered another two for the front now my Pirelli Scorpions have worn out - the Nokians are the best tyre I've had on the Dodge, much better than the OEM Goodyear Eagle RSA.
