These are great tires. I put them on our Town and Country and it transformed it. My wife thought I put snow tires on it. The rain traction is also fantastic. The ride is improved as well.
Referring to the RT45 ?

time for a snipe hunt!The 45 looks to have less sipes than the 43 . Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ? !
I just had a set of RT45 tires put on my Hyundai this morning, previous tires were RT43. Overall these are very smooth and quiet, stability is better. My experience with the RT43 tires was good and I am hoping that the RT45 tires are as good if not better.
I would like to see/hear updates down the road. All new tires for the most part are smooth and quiet.I just had a set of RT45 tires put on my Hyundai this morning, previous tires were RT43.

If it's the Can-Am Spyder, there is only room for one in backJust one?
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Have you noticed any immediate parallels to the 43? As in sidewall softness, or louder on bumps, things like that?I just had a set of RT45 tires put on my Hyundai this morning, previous tires were RT43.

My brother put a set on his Mecedes baby suv. Fuel economy dropped about 2 mpg but says they are great in the snow so depends on your needs.The Michelin Crossclimate 2, with its unique pattern, makes me shy away. A little too 'different' and for some reason, makes me think fuel economy would suffer. Give me the plain-jane Michelin Defender T+H over this every time!

The RT45 sits at second place (one point behind the much more expensive Michelin Defender T+H) in Consumer Reports' "all season" tire category. That said, there is some size overlap, and a few tires in their "all season SUV" category trounce everything in the regular all season category.
D'oh! You're right.I don't think CR has updated their testing for this category yet. It still shows RT43 (not RT45) as second place...
Same, I'd like to see newer entrants like the Cooper ProControl tested.I hope CR updates their testing soon.
