smooth, quiet, and good wet traction, although the 295/55/15 ET Streets out back aren't as great in the rain lol

Default front runner
i will never put the 8 ply sportsman on my car again. i hit a pot hole going like 25 mph and busted a steel belt in the the tire. Go with the radial more money but its worth the money
