    I found them for 137 a tire and that's crazy cheap for 18's I think.. But I can't find much info on them as far as tread wear and traction. I read on one review they have a 60k warranty...

    Anyone hear of this brand?

    How in the hell is it even possible that reviews of the same tire can vary from so many extremes... some say 50k mile tread life being driven sporty... some say they're bald at 8k with mild, grandma driving.... some say they have great grip dry/wet/snow, some say they slip and slide in the lightest of rain/show... some say they're very quiet and good handling... some say they are the loudest tires they've ever had and handle very poorly... wtf, lol.

    Like honestly for one set of tires, I read over 100 reviews, almost all of them say incredible snow traction, very quiet, very smooth ride... then 2 or 3 of them said WORST TIRES I EVER BOUGHT, USELESS IN THE SNOW, HORRIBLE TRACTION, CONSTANT SLIPPING, UNABLE TO STOP, ROAD NOISE IS UNBEARABLE, FEEL EVERY LITTLE PEBBLE IN THE ROAD, HORRIBLE RIDE!

    Can the tires really vary that much from set to set?

    Yeah obviously different makes and models of tire are going to be different but all these conflicting reviews are for the exact same tire...
