My step son traded in his old 2002 Buick Century and purchased a 2011 CRV with 110K back in Oct of 2017. Overall a nice vehicle with very well kept and extensive service records. The tires that were on it when he bought it are Solar 4xS that are about a year old and were purchased at a Walmart. He said they have done well through the rain ,snow and ice that we have had so far. About 10k on the tires thus far. This summer he is planning on a 2 week trip west to Wyoming then on to Oregon and then down the coast to San Diego and then back. They seem to have good tread, but he is not sure if he trusts them for an extended drive in the mountains and the desert heat as he comes back through Southern California. Arizona and NM . I have never heard of that brand but a quick look at the Wall Mart web site reveals that they sell them for about $50.00 per tire I told him that if I was going on a long trip like that in the summer heat in the mountains and desert I would be more confident with a tire like Goodyear, Hankook, Continental, Cooper or Michelin or some other name brand tire. About $20.00 to $30.00 more will put one in the major name brands even at Wal Mart. My Mom used to run Wal Mart Douglas tires for years but she rarely traveled more than 50 to 100 miles outside of her home in Fargo. Anyway anyone heard of that brand Solar or used them for long cross country trips?
