WHAT OWNERS SAY
❝
Yep PA31. They dont seem to wear either. After 20000 miles they still have like 90% tread left. I'm not sure what you mean by traction in the rain. The PA31 grip fine off the line. Its the turning thats sketchy.
❝
In moderate rain, the tires performed well. Hydroplaning resistance felt adequate on the highway, and I never experienced that unsettling floating sensation even during steady downpours. The lateral grooves do their job of evacuating water, and grip levels in turns remained confidence-inspiring.
❝
I had Kumhos up front with some older Dunlops on the rear. Rear tires went into a little bit of a slow slide after a rain which I thought was fun, so I put on a little more throttle (going back to go-kart days).
❝
Road noise was remarkably low for an all-season performance tire at this price. On smooth highway surfaces, the cabin stayed quiet enough to hold a normal conversation without raising my voice. Even on coarser chip-seal surfaces, the noise increase was manageable and never became irritating.
❝
During my entire test period, I never once found myself wishing the tires were softer or quieter. That’s a statement I can’t make about every tire in this category.
❝
Above 65 degrees these tires grip like none other. It usually takes extreme clutch abuse, or liftoff overseer in a highspeed downhill curve to initiate a slide. Even in the dirt/gravel they grip very well. I have noticed a due warning of understeer before the rear starts to come around, but more throttle solves that.
❝
Ride comfort was another strong point. The PA31 absorbed small bumps and road imperfections with a suppleness I didn’t expect. Expansion joints on bridges, pothole edges, and rough patches were all handled without the harshness that some performance-oriented tires can transmit.
❝
Braking in the wet was the area where I noticed the most difference compared to dry conditions. Stopping distances increased noticeably — more so than I’d experienced with premium all-season tires. It wasn’t alarming, but it was enough to make me keep a bit more following distance on rainy days.
❝
I consider the PA31 to be perfectly good all-season tires. They keep my car off the ground for the winter, and allow me to drive it when the roads are clean. I keep in mind that they are not performance tires, and try to avoid doing stunts on them.
❝
I did encounter one light dusting of snow during my test period. On a thin layer of snow over pavement, the PA31 was manageable at low speeds. But I would absolutely not recommend these as your primary tire if you regularly drive in snow, ice, or sustained below-freezing temperatures.
