I've never heard of those tires before. Good luck with them. Post a review when you get a chance.

If you just got the tires installed, balancing should have been a part of the deal. Getting an alignment isn't necessary, but it's also a good idea too so your new tires wear evenly.

I have had vredestein on my car now for about 30 or 40 thousand miles and i like them. They handle really well and i have never gotten stuck in the snow. And the true test of them was this year, at the lowest tread point, and i was driving in a foot of snow on more than one occasion and made it home. My roommate was dumbfounded when i showed up and acted like the roads weren't even bad.

Now i am looking into getting something new that is comparable to these.

Why not just get the same ones again?
