at $108 each tire with free shipping and no tax... this was an amazing deal. I got them mounted and balanced at walmart for $8 a tire.
Difference is day and night over stock tires. The size is .5" larger, does not throw off the speedo to make enough to make a difference in mpg if anyone was wondering. I calculated this by my usual driving (200 miles) and I used the same amount of gas (used landmarks, not odometer). When you're going 60mph, you're actually traveling 60.9mph. But after going through those speed things that show you your speed, my speedo seemed a little on the high side, so this might actually make it more accurate in my case.
Driving is the same in wet or dry, the huge V grooves do their job.
They also look very cool on the car.

Thanks for the pics. Do you have any photos of the tires installed from the side? If so, I'd like to see them.
Have you driven the tires in snow? I don't need to tell you how dangerous the Bridgestones are, and I'm wondering if the 245/65/17 size has anything to do with it, or just crappy OEM tires.

OEM tires are highway tires and only have a wear rating of 180. That means after the tread wears out, you're running drag slicks.
I bought these after it stopped snowing because I wanted performance tires. Being M&S rated, that is just a plus. I highly doubt these are great in snow, but I'm sure these are light years better than Brand New OEM in snow.
I am amazed at the wear rating of 420 because the rubber compound seems softer than OEM tires. These are also more quiet and do not squeak at quick acceleration.
The size is just bigger and wider (RH06's). That actually makes them worse in snow (from what people say) because a narrow tire "cuts" through the snow. But I doubt the difference matters from OEM to RH06's.
I live in Chicago and ran OEM tires for 52k miles! Auto 4wd and antilock brakes keep me alive. I never felt confident in rain/snow etc..., and finally was smart enough to invest in tires.
I plan to use these all season. If you live on rural roads where snow isn't cleared fast enough, definitely buy snow tires.
If I did buy snow tires, I'd buy Cooper Discoverer M+S 245/65R17. It meets RMA severe snow definition and can be studded from http://www.tiresavings.com at $92.00 a piece.
RH06's are categorized as SUV Performance (RH06's can take on a pretty good load in case you tow, haul stuff around), so I don't expect much snow traction. I'll report back to see if the huge V grooves help in snow or just pack snow in.

Thanks for the tip...
Just bought my set yesterday $400 out the door in Portland (sweet land no tax).
Ride is tops and no hwy noise...
These are top rated on Consumer reports and I also heard all utility trucks in the area (Electricity and Gas) use this tire for wet weather performance.
--Best Regards
