OHTSU FP7000 205/55R16 91V BSW

I purchased two of these for my 2007 Mazda 3. I just needed basic tires on my commuter car. These were cheap and they fit and they were quiet. I put them on the front - the drive wheels. However, during my first winter in Maryland, I noticed they were extremely slippery in the snow - hardly any grip. Then came spring and summer. From a start at a traffic light, they would spin with little grip in the wet, eventually gripping and allowing forward motion.I had to emergency replace a rear tire, and replaced it with a name brand one from a tire store, (I can say one which if asked). And then bought the second matching one from Amazon.** The rest of this review ISN'T about the new tires, but only about them in COMPARISON to the OHTSU ones. I'm not advocating purchasing the other tires. **I moved the two OHTSU's to the rear, and the new tires to the front. Immediately, where I was sliding and skidding with the OHTSU's, I had grip. I would purposely revv the engine at green traffic lights to test traction. It would slip a bit but them get full traction.This winter (yesterday), I tried to drive to work in the slushy wet snow. No way I would have even gotten out my driveway with these tires. Once on the freeway, I swerved slowly side to side to test the grip of the new ones. They worked fairly well. Continued to drive normally. I hit a particularly un-plowed section of highway. The rear of the car spun out of control, and I almost ended up in the scraped snow on the side of the freeway. Car came to a halt - backwards, while not hitting anything. I was able to drive back onto the freeway and continue my commute. The roads got better afterwards, and I had no more issues.SUMMARY - after 6 Maryland seasons of driving, I would NOT recommend these tires. Maybe in a dryer climate (Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego) they would be great, but not here. I will be replacing these two tire with new ones as soon as I can.

I got these for a 2006 Honda Civic that just needs decent, round tires with acceptable traction. From the other reviews I was expecting something pretty good but so far they are just OK. I think they ride pretty hard and they don't like sitting for a couple days. It takes them a while for the belts to soften and true up like my old racing tires I had back in the 90's. I certainly wasn't going to spend more for tires so if you are tight like I was they are acceptable, but if you have the budget you may want to look elsewhere.

This is my third go-around with Ohtsu tires and I'd be pretty confident putting these up against any tire store middle of the road "name" brand. Any more, in my opinion, tires are tires and you can pay a fair price for 'em or a super-inflated price....your choice. Are these 40,50,000 mile tires? Of course not, but you're not paying for a tire that's labeled as such either. For the money, I have found Ohtsu to be an excellent value, and this set is no exception to that rule. This tire is a little soft, but the super aggressive grip is a worthy trade off.Keep these rotated and inflated properly, and you should get 30k of solid use. Is that worth this price? You'll have to be the judge of that.

Ordered a set of these; good price, but there are a couple downsides. There is a bit of road noise from them; Decent grip in fair weather. Something punctured one of them today, I pulled over immediately, but the sidewall was trashed; I drove less than 60 feet. I was forced to order another tire due to this. If this is any indication, you should stay on top of checking your tire pressure with these; the sidewalls can't take much abuse, and you will probably get some really bad wear if these aren't properly inflated. Decent middle of the road tire if you know what you're doing.

I damaged a Falkin tire and could not Find a like replacement. I have read these were a like tire. Since it was going on the front, that was important for tracking. The tread is a bit different, but the tracking is right on. I don’t know how they wear because I’m new to them.

Product description is wrong. I have a 2015 Toyota Corolla and it says it fits this kind of car. That is wrong. Took it to the shop and it doesn’t fit. Always look at your side wall on the tire and see what size your tires are.To make a long story short this tire that Amazon says doesn’t fit a 2015 Toyota Corolla will fit and the one that the Amazon says will fit doesn’t fit. It’s the other way around.Just double check your tire size on your side wall before ordering.They’re good tires if you get the right size, but a shoutout to Amazon that they need to change the fitment for 2015 Toyota Corolla. It doesn’t fit.

This is my second set, they are a fairly high mileage tire and even to the wear bars, still have great traction. Not a noisy tire but I also drive a diesel 5 speed with 3 inch exhaust so not sure if I could hear them. Great value but they are certainly no race tire. They are plenty of tire to have fun on for sure.

Terrible. Lasted a year and a half. I live in Colorado and these tires don't perform well in slush,ice or snow. We do have a decent amount of pot holes here, but I've have douglas tires from walmart that lasted longer. They wore fast and I had a sidewall blowout going 10mph merging onto the interstate. I don't even want to go through the trouble of warranty because they were not great tires to begin with and awd is recommended to replace all 4 tires anyway.
