Matched tires on my car. Good price

I put these on a 2016 Hyundai Sonata about a month before the wintry weather arrived, replacing the worn out Hankook Kinergy tires that were OEM when I bought it. I was careful as I’d had snow tires before & driving in the rain could be a problem with poor traction. I did not have studs fitted as local winter conditions very rarely warrant them.These tires were NO PROBLEM in the rain, or in the dry & in snow & slush they were simply amazing. The only real difference I could tell between the Altimax & the Kinergy was a slight increase in road noise & a definite hit on my fuel economy of around 2mpg worse. Otherwise they rode just as well & gripped just as well as the Kinergys &, like I said, in snow & ice they were jaw droppingly good. My Front Wheel Drive Sonata was able to navigate roads that 4WD & AWD cars spun out & got stuck.Snow conditions ranged from fresh powder, compacted powder, hard wet snow, melting slush & occasional patches of black ice. My wife’s AWD Subaru (running on Michelin All Season tires) couldn’t even get out of our driveway, but my Sonata with the Altimax Arctics had no problem. Despite not having studs fitted I didn’t even have any problems with black ice, they did slip & Traction Control/ABS did activate but careful driving kept the vehicle under perfect control when others were sliding all over the place.After 1200 miles they show no sign of excessive wear so there’s no real feedback yet on how they’ll last. However I only foresee 2-3000 miles use per season so I am confident they’ll last 10 years before they HAVE to be replaced due to their age.I would definitely buy these again.

excellent traction in snow and ice. I’ve been told this for a couple of years, they were right
