Firestone All Season All Season 185/65R15 88T Passenger Tire

These are more quiet. Better handling in rain. Replaced my Weather Grip. Cannot speak to traction in snow or durability. What I did not like was having to take my vehicle back a 2nd time to get the alignment corrected. The vehicle was aligned without centering the steering wheel. The same thing was also done with my Explorer, aligned without centering the wheel.

I would expect better traction for all-season tires for contaminated driving conditions (Water, Ice, Snow, Etc). These tires are pretty durable and have survived many surprise potholes while driving on the highway. They also do not have many flat spots from sudden stopping (explained further down). These are also pretty quiet tires. During dry conditions, the tire handles very well with no slipping, squeals, or sidewall damage. During wet conditions, however, it is an entirely different story. Even in slightly wet conditions, these tires feel like they lose 30-40% of their grip. I slid when coming to stops at a normal pace, My wheels slipped when making turns, and I almost hydroplaned through a red light because the tire could not handle slowing while following the slight bend in the road at the same time. I am surprised that these tires do not have any flat spots from how much I have slid in wet conditions. I would recommend saving up for better tires than risking the loss of control when it sprinkles out side. Even if they have to be ordered and shipped to the store, waiting is better than buying these.
