These tires grip and sticks to the road like no other truck tire ive experienced in all conditions! Dry traction is superb. Rain/Wet traction is superb. Snow traction is amazing. I guess there is a reason they have that snowflake winter/rating, yet they are still an ALL season tire! UNBELIEVABLE! These ride smooth and comfortable, no noticable difference in noise compared to my old X-terrains.. The other Fortera is Silent Armour (which they say are even quieter, but not as responsive) I drive city and highway.. Mainley highway, so I am curious how much difference vs the SAs.. So only on that consideration (lots of highway driving) maybe next time I try the Silent Armour. I do believe there is slight drop in gas mileage.. but I suppose that is the tradeoff for such handling, cornering and overall performance. These Fortera Triple Tread are the HIGHEST PRICED original size tire for my vehicle on TireRack.. I believe if youre buying these HIGH END tires youre not overly concerned with gas mileage. I also believe you get what you pay for, and with GoodYear Fortera Triple Tread, youre getting great performance, and stability - which I wouldnt trade my safety for ANYTHING!
