Hi,
The HTR+ tires were OK for their first 10K miles ... decent all-around, even OK in snow, but not exceptional in any way. Past 15K, they became increasingly noisy, downright annoying after 25K. Wet performance deteriorated past 20K (not entirely surprising) and snow performance was, well, hazardous. Their treads are down just about to the minimum markers at 33K. I rotated them at 10K, 20K, 25K, 30K. Might have gotten another 3K out of them with rotations at 5K and 15K, also if I had found the "optimal" inflation pressures earlier. I wouldn't buy them again. The Pilot Primacy OEM tires were dead at 27K, when I bought the car, but I don't know how the prior owner maintained them (or didn't).
Good news is that my Aero got a perfect bill of health at its 60K service this morning ... excepting the tires. No significant repair/maintenance issues yet.
