MINI mini countryman cooper s Tires

When new, they were more quiet but became louder over time. The handling was always a little soft with a delay between turn on and response. I hoped to trade some performance for wet and snow traction but these tired did not deliver. I am replacing them early because after about 50% tread, they started to hydroplane badly. My highway speeds were greatly reduced in the rain after a few white knuckled moments. While I've driven worse on the snow, these were not good. I'll be looking for a different option.
