Have 215-45-17 on CPO '01 Viggen for 5 months. Dealer put them on as part of CPO. Quiet, good in rain, look good, but lousey in snow--Tire Rack rates them unacceptable in snow. Ecsta ASX all-season rated similar for performance and for a few bucks more with higher ratings in snow. 712 develops flat spots in cold weather if parked for over 24 hours, but goes away after a few miles. Haven't driven in summer yet, so can't tell how sticky they really are. With Viggen power, I get wheel spin in 1st and 2d with heavy throttle action.
