Faded bars rest on one or two tests. This tyre does not carry the 3PMSF snowflake mark, so Snow counts for less and Ice not at all against all-season tyres that do.

Initial Impressions

This is a great all season tire if your biggest priority is a plush and quite ride. This tire is very soft riding and soaks up cracks and bumps in the road, although it is a touch underdamped. I live in the Detroit Metro area so this is a compromise I'm willing to make. Tread noise is very quiet except for some whirring on perfectly smooth pavement.

Steering in this size, which is a bit higher profile is acceptable but on the relaxed side. I haven't needed to perform any limit maneuvers but the tire responds well to quick steering inputs to avoid road obstacles in both the dry and wet.

Rolling resistance seems good as well. I average 43-44 mpg in the summer months in my Fusion Hybrid. This is the same or better as the Crossclimate 2 I had on before but that was a wider and lower profile size so I can't draw a direct comparison.

No comments on winter performance as I run this as a 3 season grand touring tire and use a dedicated winter tire.

Overall this is a great grand touring tire for adding some comfort to your car and has appropriate steering and handling characteristics for my sedan.
