Those tires look really strange to me, almost like they don't fit on the wheel properly.

Saving $700 to 800 I can live with it. Fine for DD in this economy.

I was a fan of these tires for the longest time. Now that mine have a little over 15k miles on them they are becoming pretty noisey. There is plenty of tread left on them but the road noise is getting worse. Guess I really cant complain though, they are definitely priced right but I will probably dig into the pockets and get a better tire next time. They almost look to small on our rims even though I have standard sizes on both rims.

Why not get a set of nitto's? they are priced almost the same as the wideovals and outperform them in every aspect?

The wideovals are a strange tire....

My rear wide ovals have 40k miles on them and the front just over 45k miles. I paid around 700 for the set and other than being stupid and curbing one once which I might add did not damage the rim due to the design they are a fine daily driver tire and good in rain. I dont care what they look like they serve their purpose.
