I live in Seattle, which is always wet, and hilly. I have made it easily up steep wet, icy hills where Jeep Cherokee's were sitting feebly spinning all 4's. The are also really good looking. They do provide a wider tread pattern, as well. Down side is it does take some MPG away, and since they are uni-directional, I can only do a front-to-back tire rotation.

It's either a very long-lasting tire, or Goodyear is going to take a hit on replacements. Anyway, another big snowstorm today, another problem-free drive (to work this time). These tires seem to have a "soft" feel to get traction on the snow and ice. 80k miles is a lot of miles for a warranty, I agree.

I bought some Bridgestone Turanza LSH's and V's for the winter drive ability you apparently bought these for and they have been really good tires. I haven't had the snow you've had to really give them their due but in the dry, wet and heat, they've been much better (and quieter) than the Michelin Energy MXV's that were on both of our cars ('98 S70 and '04 V70). Keep us updated on their performance as they wear. Wow…80K mile tread and it looks like a pretty aggressive tread too.
