Cooper Evolution HT2 285/45R22 114H All-Terrain Tire

These are a mixed difference from my Yokohama's these replaced. I doubt these are going to last, being a very soft tire. The benefit is it's very quiet on the highway and around town. It's a more of a pleasant ride in my 4X4 SUV Xterra, but cornering and braking, I don't have the same hold and feel when taking an exit faster than usual. Because this tire is softer than what I removed, I don't know what to expect for tread life. As far as installation, the days of a tire store with experienced men knowing their job and cars in general was completely absent at my location in FL. They don't tighten wheel lugs in a star pattern, and the guy argued with me it's OK to go in a circe. He's dead wrong. Some studs got grease, other studs didn't, 3 people were working on the SUV doing it their way. By the way, take some bearing grease and wipe it on the bead of all your tires before you go into the store, this has been used for 70 years as a bead sealer. Today with aluminum rims especially this helps you from never having to add air to your tires and the "dressing" is harmless to the tire. Just an oily film is all you need, don't gob it on like shaving cream unless you like to watch the techs wipe the grease off on their pant legs trying to get it off. Just be sure that guy doesn't drive your car out and put grease on your seats. They had a hard time figuring out how to removed my hub caps, their tire gauges in the shop were about 5 lbs off so they believed I had an air leak when one tech was checking the air pressure with a different gauge. They started blaming everything else when there wasn't a problem to fix in the first place. As far as the tires go, they were on sale during Cyber Monday. For the sale price, I'd buy them again. I'd never pay regular price.
