Not even close in size (235/55/18) but I just got a set of these put on last week. So far I agree, very nice tire. Quiet, comfortable and no concerns about handling. I have yet to get them wet which is where my biggest concern was with the old tires. Michelin HX MXMV 4s with 4-5/32 were...

Happy to hear they worked out for you!

Washed it today so I got a shot of the overall look.

Mine is a '13, strange that they are different. Maybe it's a north/south of the border thing. Yes, mine rusted pretty quickly too. My boss sprayed white lithium grease on the axle nut area of his truck last fall but he hasn't put his winters back on yet for me to see if it worked or not. I...

So your tire light blink all the time? Do you have the EVIC with the pressure display? My light goes off after about 30km, only thing I get is an amber N/A for tire pressure in the EVIC.

What ever you use to wash the vehicle and a stiff brush (potato brush) worked well for me for years.

Ya my son's price up here is $75 for the caps(his price was only about $20 more for a wheel!), not sure what the lugs were but it was somewhere around the $100 mark. You have to get the lugs as they have a ridge to hold the caps on apparently. No way I could justify it, I only paid $200 for the...

You'll still likely be sliding the rear around, I know I do. Make sure you let us know how they work for you. I think you went the right way, not terribly impressed with the iG51v myself, probably my last "ice" tire.

Have you priced the center caps and lugs for them?

That is what came on the Charger. 56000KM (35000 miles) and they will likely be replaced shortly after going on in the spring if not before. Down close to the wear bars they are down right scary in standing water at speed.

My main concern is hydroplane resistance. Quiet and smooth sounds good though, as well as better cost than the more performance oriented tires I've been using. I run dedicated winters for the white stuff so that isn't a worry for me.
