Never heard of them, if that tells you anything. That particular tire looks pretty boring. That said, they are probably pretty quiet as well.

But they do hold a decent rating here:http://www.safercar.gov/nhtsa-saferc...e=any&wear=any

... of which the NHSTA ratings seem to match up well with my own personal experience; (I do trust their ratings).

They appear to have a "tie" to Firestone, but not sure what. Maybe a generic, or one makes the other.

Chinese Tires, no way for me. They were on my Myco when I bought my Chris Cat- they were the recalled ones- so my FIRST investment in my boat was $ 900 for 5 new tires E class.

JMHO

I wholesale tires in New Jersey. It is a import tire that usually sts sells in New Jersey. It's cheap import junk..Firestone transforce is a great light truck tire for that truck.

I just had four put on my work car at Firststone with the sale they had on black Friday out the door for under $250.00 with road harzard. So far so good if they last 25000-30000 I will be happy.
