I have had these tires on my van for a year (19,000 miles) now, and have been impressed with the ride, handling and lack of road noise from these tires. There is a huge difference between these tires and the "D" rated 185 Bridgestones that they replaced. I have had two tread punctures (drywall screws) but they were covered under warranty by my local Discount Tire.

The original tread depth of 11/32" is now at 9/32" so I hope to get at least 50,000 miles out of this set of tires.

Anyone looking for a set of quality tires for your alloy-wheeled van should check out a set of these tires. A set of 4 cost less than $300 installed with the "Lifetime" replacement warranty through Discount Tire. The warranty also covers tire rotation. Plus they look really good on the van. :>)
