    The drive in was fine, by the way. Can't really hear road noise. If anything it blends in with or is drowned out by the wind, engine, and exhaust. I even rolled the window down to try to hear something. It was nothing but wind.

    Steering is sharp and precise. The truck tracks as straight as the vehicle will allow. Bumps are solid and maybe a little pronounced but muted. Kind of reminds me of the Continentals. The old GYs were narrower and taller too so they had more sidewall to absorb road imperfections. They were 255/75R17. These are 265/70R17 like the Continentals.

    Oh and they're smooth as hell when the road is good. Like crazy good.

    All in all I'd say they're a keeper so far.
    Encouraging words for my choice of tires lol

    Woop woop.

    Yeah I like 'em. If they grab in the icy mountains I'll love 'em.

    Quite honestly I wish these were priced this low when I got the Continentals. I wouldn't have gotten the Continentals.

    Definitely a harder tire than the P metric. You feel all of the road. Can get bumpy at times here in PA. But on I-81 I had it up to about 82 and it was smooth.

    Oh and they're quieter on that annoying concrete than the Continentals, and the Continentals are already pretty quiet on that stuff.
