FOUND THESE TIRES ECONOMICAL AS WELL AS PRETTY FUNCTIONAL. SO FAR I HAVE ABOUT 1000 MILES ON THEM. GOT THEM JUST IN TIME TO TEST, WHILE BREAKING THEM IN (I MIGHT ADD) ON SUNNY DRY DAYS, WET, VERY WET RAINING LIKE CRAZY DAYS, AND ABOUT 4 INCHES OF SNOW, WITH DRIFT AREAS UP TO 6 INCES. DURING THE BREAK IN PERIOD, WHEN YOU GET A TIRE, CHEMICALS ARE COMING OUT OF THE TIRE WHICH TEND TO MAKE THEM MORE SLIPPERY THAN THEY WILL BE WHEN BROKEN IN, SO A BROKEN IN TIRE WILL HANDLE BETTER. Venezia Crusade HP 215/45/17 TIRES HELD THEIR OWN, I WAS FAIRLY IMPRESSED FOR A CHEAPER AND NOT ANOTHER NAME BRAND TIRE. MY CAR IS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE WITH A WINTER DRIVING MODE WHICH I LEAVE OFF UNLESS THE CONDITIONS ARE JUST RIGHT FOR IT. I HAVE A LOT OF TRAINING IN EXTREME CONDITIONS, WHICH PAYS OFF REGARDLESS OF TIRES. I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE. ON AN AWD OR 4X4 I WOULD SUSPECT THE RESULTS WOULD BE EVEN MORE EFFICIENT IF DRIVERS ABILITIES ARE GOOD. I HAVE SEEN REVIEWS GETTING 40,000 MILES WHICH FOR LOW PROFILE TIRES IS GOOD, WILL SEE IN 39,000? :) MAX TIRE PRESSURE IS FOR HEAVY CAR LOADS, NOT WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND 32PSI MORE OR LESS ADJUSTING FOR TEMP CONDITIONS IS ADVISED PAYS TO LEARN ABOUT TIRES AND TEMPERATURE CHANGING TIRES PSI??? YOUR TIRES ARE WHAT HOLD YOU ON THE ROAD RIGHT!!!?? DRIVE SAFE OUT THERE
