Perfectly. Can't hardly see any wear yet. Last week I ordered a set for my daughter's BMW X5's new M wheels, and just today another set for my GMC pickup. The pickup had the AZ800s on it which I liked initially, but at half tread depth, they no longer inspire confidence in heavy rain. The AZ850s still do. Luckily they've added my pickup's tire size to the 850 lineup.

Yep, but still bargain for the performance / cost ratio. Anytime I can get a set of 4 tires for under $1,000 I'm not going to complain too much.

If anyone is looking for 315/30-22s, I have 2 brand new ones I'd sell below market price. Running the square setup I am on my Cayenne, I'm able to rotate the tires so, doesn't look like I'll be wearing out the rears much sooner than the fronts like I thought I might, and why I bought 6 tires initially. For the next set on my 12" wide wheels, I'm planning to go wider 335/25-22 to have them wrap around the rim edges a bit.

Just checked again and they went back down by $75 bucks.

The only tire I've ever had catastrophically fail was a Toyo Proxes ST (ST II I think).

Usually this type of failure is from low air pressure, and that's a possibility though I had checked the pressures before leaving on vacation for a week. It blew on the return trip home, but that's not to say I didn't pick up a nail or something in the tire on the way there or driving around that week. The previous generation S/T had been one of my all time favorite Tru k tires. I liked the ST2 less, even before this happened, and now am such a fan of the AZ850, no reason to try anything else unless they stop making it or it's not offered in my size.

Thanks for the info and review. I'll be ordering a set probably in the next week or so.

I recently put some AZ850s on my daily CTTS. They are grippy and quiet.

Forgot to add this update here, but a few months ago I took some 958 eBay cup holder adapters and modified them to fit into the 957 cup holders so they will now hold 2 larger cups at the same time for the upcoming summer travel season. Work great for everything from 12 Oz cans to water bottles to QT Big Q Icees


The opposite side was already trimmed like you see here, but that's the fat side of the cup holder base. Trimmed the other side down into the base to where it was straight up and stayed on its own side of the dual cup holder assembly.

P.S ive been using Verdestein Quattro Pro on my GTS for 2 years. For the money very sporty and not too loud.
Decent in snow for an All Season tire.

We mostly use this car for family vacations, so having drink holders for the long drives is handy.
