Got these for Christmas and have to say I am really pleased with them so far. I paid a little out of pocket, but a gift card I received to Costco paid for most of it.

Debated on getting a lift and getting bigger tires, but decided against it right now and just got the standard for 18" rims, 245/60/R18.

The tread on them is DEEP and the traction is outstanding. IMO the tires are made really well.

Costco was running a $70 off special, so I believe the total (without tax) was $629.96 which includes tire installation, old tire disposal, and 5 year warranty from Costco.

All in all, I think that's a steal, especially if these tires go for their full 80,000 mile manufacturer's warranty.

Thanks for posting. Can you send some pictures of them mounted, especially looking at the tread design and maybe the sidewall bulge, etc? It seems like different tires look different on a given wheel size, even in the same tire size.

Thanks!

Thank you for all the pictures. They look great!

Sounds like a good choice. How's handling and road noise on dry roads?

I had these on my first Ridge after 2 pair of Michelins. I thought they handled better then M's with a quicker turn in. Also felt they were quieter. Seemed fine in the snow but never really challenged them. Plan on putting these on the 07 I just picked up

Handling is great. Road noise is minimal. Very similar to the Michelins IMO but these should last longer.
