That is what I just got on the rear. I didn't do much looking, I had a sidewall blowout after hitting something unknown, and I limped to a local tire shop. That was the best option they carried. I am concerned about the 50K mile warranty though. Their paperwork didn't mention it, but most places say something like "50,000 mile warranty, ½ that if front and rear are different sizes" or something like that indicating they will only be on the rear and getting worn faster. My question would be, do I get a 75,000 mile warranty on the fronts?
As for the tires themselves, It is crappy cold weather here, and nothing hooks up well. They seem fine to drive on, not excessively noisy. I haven't been in standing snow yet to test that, but rain seems fine.
