Road noise is ok, however a very stiff ride resulting in feeling every bump

I bought my car with these on and very worn but as I do 5/6000 miles per year and they are not illegal we kept them .We live in Finland and the conditions are harsh at times .Now they are ready for changing as we have seperate tyres for winter ,it is September here .I do not understand the feedback on here as I used to rally drive and love nothing more than good acceleration ,we drive twisty tarmac and gravel roads and these tyres have caused me no problems at all .With 2mm of tread left I still can't get the traction control on ! I would buy them again in the blink of an eye .The downside is that they are noisy and as our profile is quite low that doesn't help . Our car is a Ford kuga 2 litre diesel 4wd so heavy enough to test them and they have been great . I am on the net now searching for them .

It came with a new car, Ford kuga plug-in 2025.
It doesn't handle and brake well in the dry so I waited to see it in the wet to proceed to evaluating them.
On the wet it is a complete disaster,
I will have to change them because they are very dangerous and I insist for that. Anyone that reads all this and buys them is on for a full regret.
Unfortunately one of my worst experiences.

Absolutely great tyres. Had many top brands in the past and this Dynamo stay together with them. Very quiet with good road feedback. They are surprisingly comfortable to it's thick sidewall. Tyre itself is quite heavy, in my size it has 13.6kg. I can't find any weak side of them. Highly recommend.
3 wheels balanced under 40g and 1 wheel has 90g it's still acceptable without issues

Fitted to AWD Ford Kuga & it's our practice to fit new tyres to the front & rotate the old front tyres to the back. We do mostly city driving with average trip length of 10-20km. in 20 months the tyres wore down to 3mm on LHS & 5mm on RHS from new while the old tyres now on the back are still at 6mm each. Legal is 1.5mm. That's atrocious!

Only been fitted for 2 weeks but so far very impressed. Previously had Continentals from new which did 22500 miles but double the price

A great SUV tyre for predominately on-road driving with the occasional off-road excursions. Handles well on gravel and rocky snow field access roads. Overall a quite and well composed ride across all types of terrain, so lives up to its AT name well.

Strange, but this tire worked well 1,5 winter season, then they not like everywhere reviewed... My tires compound goes very hard, very uncomfortable to drive in potholed road(feel like car have sportcar suspension). In 2 season tire was good in dry, wet, snow, slush...but in icy road drive dangerous compared first season. Some people write they are low noise, no they like other winter tires! I never had that kind change with other tires, i allraedy thinking no more studded tires... But reality come back after 1,5 season.

Acquired these tires for my 2009 Ford Kuga, in the hopes for a comfortable tire...
Oh, how wrong I was.
The amount of noise in the cabin, increased tremendously!
The 18 inch tires are much more comfortable, even for their dimension difference and budget, specifically as the 18's are an unknown brand!
The dry grip is not quite there and the tire feels unstable on worn roads.
When pushed on wet roads, you have to be vigilant, because the grip will suddenly disappear.
Combined with low tread-depth, they are prone to aquaplaning...
These tires will only be used on my daughters 2015 model, when she need to tow her horses around, so she doesn't ruin her own 18" tires.
I would not recommend these for anyone, unless you only value fuel consumption...

These came all new on ford Kuga, while ok in the dry and I do gave to say very quiet, the same cannot be said for in the wet, if you start to push on in the wet they just let go with no warning and just slide as though on ice. Had a frost this morning in North Norfolk and these are lethal. Not sure what to replace them with, but they are coming off ASAP......AVOID !
