I may put them on the buick to replace the falken sincera that are on there now, unless the Michelin defenders blow my mind.
Close to the size you were asking about, $83 a pop.

I was wondering how good ohtsu tires were. I've seen decent reviews.
They weren't even on my list of option, Slacktide, if I remember, gave me a very solid lists of replacements for the Michelins.
But an unrepairable damage while out of town warranted a last minute decision on tires, limited to what was in stock.
The replacements have the same wet traction rating, and are one step up on temp, but are like 30% of the hydros for tread wear.
But for the stuff I've pushed them through in a wet, abandoned parking lot, and their relatively quiet ride, I'd buy them again in a second. But they're only 1,000 miles in, so my opinions could change as they age. I'll give it a year, and take the dodge again for a few days to see how they compare when they're worn in a little.
But for now, they're doing better than the falkens on the buick, and stick to the asphalt like gum. YMMV since you've not got a CVT to limit your ability to floor it and get any rev out of the engine.
