Pros: None, if you're dead from running off the road.
Cons: Dangerous when WET!
The Bottom Line: Wouldn't give them away...afraid someone would get killed!

| user261483's Full Review: Uniroyal Tiger Paw AWP Passenger/Performance Tire |
These tires are standard equipment on my wife's Impala. She only drive a few miles on straight flat road to work everyday. I on the other hand drive 20 miles on windy, hilly roads to work. Every time I've driven her car to work I've noticed the steering not being as sure as I would like it. After several days in a row of driving it I decided to take it to the local Chevrolet dealer and have them check out the steering. No problems found. I didn't
drive it again for several weeks and then yesterday she took my truck to work and I had to drive her Impala. It was raining. Twice on curves that I have no problem with in my rear drive pickup, the Impala almost spun out on me.
Even at a traffic light the front wheels spun with the least amount of gas pedal. These tires are as hard as nails and give about as much traction in the wet. The steering wasn't the problem...it's these tires. They are
DANGEROUS.. Why does General Motors put these tires on their number one car? Don't answer that....money and they last forever...if you drive on straight roads all day long.
