I just purchased two Mavis Traction Control tires for the CR-V in my signature also but in a different size. While I didn't measure the tread depth, just by eyeballin' it, it did seem to be more generous than most. I only have about 300 miles on them so far so who knows how they'll be in the wet or the snow. My experience with Mavis was pretty disappointing though. I showed up there because I picked up a nail in two different tires and I also had a vibration in the front end that I assumed to be an unbalanced tire. So, when I bought the two new tires I had them put on the front and allowed them to talk me into a front end alignment. Thinking the new tires and the alignment would cure any vibration, I was pretty disappointed when it didn't, it actually seemed worse. I slid under the car when I got home just to take a look. While I'm no mechanic, I was pretty sure that if an alignment was done on a car with 230,000 miles on it, I would see some scratching or "tool" marks on the tie rod lock nuts and then the tie rod itself but they looked un-touched. Now thinking something else was causing the vibration, I took the car to my mechanic and explained what had just been done at Mavis. When he looked, he said the same thing...no alignment was done. Long story short, after checking the front end and axles he checked the front tires and they were totally out of balance. If the weights were supposed to be at 12 o'clock they were at 6 o'clock making an out of balance tire twice as bad. Almost sounded intentional to me? I went back to Mavis to complain and they said if I paid for an alignment, I got an alignment and denied making a mistake on the balancing. I plan to take it further to the corporate office but knows where that will go. Not likely to go back to them unless it is an emergency and they're the only place open.
