After driving about 26000km in three years, all 4 tires have been worn and 2 front wheels have been worn to the safety limit. The tires are adjusted every 10000km. At the beginning, I gave enough confidence to stop on dry and wet ground, but the ordinary comfort and noise suppression may not be particularly prominent because my car is a Toyota Avalon xls 2001 and 80% commutes in the city. The advantage is that because of its hard sidewalls, it is very competent for cornering on mountain roads and has good handling. However, the Treadwear 280 tires have only this life and are not economical. If you want to commute, you should make other choices. I want to try the falken ze310r next.

Good at first, but after a year and long distance travel the quality worsen especially on wet condition. Traction control saved me last time.

Driving for More than 25 000km, bought Suzuki Swift 2002 (old model) Front tires are almost no wear, and rear can be used for 25 000km more I guess. I test them on around 0C temperature and they perform good (no snow conditions). On wet they perform not so well anymore... For the price next time I'll buy Vederstein Qutrac5 all season.

The tire lack grip during cornering and braking distance. For the cornering issue, maybe its because my car is a sedan, but for the braking distance, it is terrible.. i have compared it with Silverstone tire brand , and Viking is disappointing. Noice quality ,no problem..
