I have to agree, while I don't find anything special about them I giggle at the comments of them breaking loose in the rain under the Expedition. I run dedicated winters and have primarily driven RWD cars in winter, so I imagine that contributes to my experience. To me the tires are just fine, mine have lasted to a combined winter and summer distance of 125,000 km...I'm guessing there's 75k km on them. As you say, still quiet. Could be a bit firmer in the sidewall, but on 22's I'm not sure how much harsher I want a sidewall. Only thing I really don't like about them is that they do seem to bounce/bound a bit over bigger road imperfections but I've chalked that up to a ridiculously large and heavy wheel and tire combo vs the tire itself.
Given all the negativity I'll move on from them when I replace next spring, but I look for takeoffs from time to time because under a vehicle of this size I'm not exactly pushing the limit of traction.
I'm not interested in mud/off-road style tread, thinking about Toy Proxes ST3, Pirelli Scorption AS Plus 3, I like Michelin and Conti's for cars but I don't see much value with all the options out there for trucks. I've had Pirelli and Michelin tires fail on the shoulders on my cars and am unimpressed with a supposedly premium tire crapping the bed like that.
BTW, I'm picky as hell on car tires...just not seeing it on the Expedition.
