Rating of tires are so subjective! I love this tire, I hate this tire, this tire grips, does not grip, to loud ,to quite, short life, long live . great all season tire, not good in rain, great price, you get what you pay for, Will always buy this brand,will never buy this brand again, great deal,not worth the money, uneven wear,wears evenly ,ok in snow,don"t drive in snow,light snow ok, tires get to hot, tires run to cold,tire temp just fine, tires make it feel like it is on rails,tires caused it to walk all over the road, must over fill tires, must under fill tires,must run exact tire pressure There are a lot of ups to these tires, then downs, so what are the ups doing ,that the downs are not doing. Tire rack ratings cover so many different brand and types of cars

But since we all drive crossfire ,what do you think causes so many different opinions, Could it be you/us have had better tires on our xf at some point are had worse tires at some point.

Just Food for thought!
