Vehicle: 2019 Camry.
First ride report: Bloody expensive, but NOTHING feels as good on a vehicle as brand new high quality tires. These are no different.
The old tires (Nexen from the factory) were okay, and not even worn out. They were just not the tires I needed on the car right now. I needed better, and all puns aside, more assurance in bad weather driving. For reasons.
The real initial test will be Friday, as we must venture into the aftermath of the upcoming snow storm. That will tell me about the crappy road capability on these.
For the ride home today, I can report a serious level of confidence transmitted to the driver. They FEEL good, and take any road sticking issues down to zero.
My driving style is not aggressive, unless there is cause to be. I'm normally very laid back, low pressure, and forgiving. In that mode, these tires are comfortable, with a quiet and smooth ride.
For some of the ride I switched to zoomy mode, and that's when the car climbed up onto the rails. It cornered with not a shred of complaint, feeling firm and responsive. In corners where I expected histrionics, both car and tires behaved in a civilized manner. Almost boringly glued to the road even when taking back road corners at well over twice the limit.
New brooms sweep clean, and time will tell. Here and now, I am pleased with these tires.
