These are mounted on my Studebaker, so they have seen light use in good conditions. The whitewalls are hard to keep white. The use I have gotten has been acceptable. Quiet, comfortable and grip as much as I have asked from them. For the price, I would buy them again. Realistically, I bought them as a last resort due to the lack of choices for whitewalls in this size. But, I don't regret the purchase.

SimpleTire’s view on Milestar MS775 tires
If you’re planning to buy a budget-friendly but adequately durable tire that can last longer and cover more miles, then the Milestar MS775 could be the right choice. Its overall longevity score is 8.2 out of 10, indicating that it does have the potential to serve for a longer tenure in practical conditions. The tire is engineered for better traction in dry, wet, and light winter conditions. It scores an 8.2 SimpleScore for traction, which hints at its significant year-round traction performance. Likewise, in the handling area as well, this tire promises greater driving confidence and has an overall SimpleScore of 8.0. Additionally, the MS775 is backed by a limited manufacturer tread life warranty of 40,000 miles.
The only major drawback of this tire is that it is more when compared to some of its rivals. It is to be understood that this tire isn’t Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, and therefore, you shouldn’t have higher performance expectations from the tire in severe winter conditions.
The MS775 competes with tires like:
- Coker Classic Radial 2 3/8 Whitewall
- Diamond Back Classic Radial
- Cooper Cobra Radial G/T
- Hankook Optimo H724

I've not used the cars much that these tires are for, '63 Pontiac Bonneville Safari & '64 Pontiac Tempest Safari. I bought them to ship cross country in my soon move. Depending how the life holds out, I can say more later about their use.
Good general purpose tire with a tread pattern that pumps water away adequately - a little bit noisy but at around half the price of similar size 'coker' tires from other brands (Firestone is my comparison) still way ahead on points. Simple Tyre is on my bookmarks now and I will definitely be buying their products from here on in.
Great
Don't really know about winter driving but overall the tires are great !
Well,I have had my Milestar White Walls on for 10 months,but only 3000 miles,due to being retired and not driving much. But I have to say I never had one problem in the snow with these tires. I am extremely happy with them and I am very critical about tires being an old "Dunlop" man but there quality has dropped. In 3000 miles the tires show absolutely no wear at all. They ride great,no road noise,and grip on the freeway like a magnet on steel as I am a very aggressive driver. I drive a 5 speed like a teenager and these tires give me what I want. I am now ready to order another set of Milestar White Walls for my other 94 Ford Ranger but one size up this time basically just for the look. Simple Tire is the best. Two Thumbs Up from Me.
I purchased the set 7-3-2019 so I have not driven them in the snow yet. But I first have to say that I mainly bought them as they are one of the few tire sites that still carry Whitewalls as I am 69 and "Old School" as I love my whitewalls even on a 94 Ford Ranger. I am a bit dismayed they no longer carry these in a whitewall in my size as I wanted to order a second set for my other Ranger. The garage that mounted them told me they hardly took any weights and one balanced perfectly without any. From day one I could not believe the ride quality. No road noise at all and wonderful handling,even on wet pavement, as at 69 years of age I drive a manual transmission like I stole it. Shipping was outstanding as I ordered them on 7-3 and received them on 7-5. Right now I can't say enough about these tires and hope for the same performance in the snow. A Note to Simple Tire: There are still many of us "Old School Whitewall Fans" and you need to carry a bigger selection of whitewalls. I prefer whitewalls only! Simple Tire is my # 1 place to shop for tires.
