Was shocked that the tires bought new with my new 2017 Q7 Audi lasted less than 16,000 miles. The dealer basically said it looks like I drove too much in the hills. Well not really. I didn't drive inordinately in the hills. Won't be buying this brand to replace!

These tires were on my BMW when I purchased it; just purchased one to replace one of the tires that had been punctured. These ride so smooth (always get compliments when I take friends for a drive) and quiet.
