Thanks! Tires are awesome so far. Only tried on dry pavement. Suppose to rain for the next couple days, so I'll get a chance to see how they do on wet. They are super quiet and absorb the road noise and bumps really well.

hard and fast shifting is better on automatic I tuned my escape for performance with SCT and it make the shifts hard and quick, but then you get less slipping. So ya give and take. The older escapes auto trans are known to be weak if not taken care of though...hence why I firmed the shift points up.
