These tires are not safe. They do not provide adequate traction on dry or wet surfaces. They are extremely slippery and dangerous. They spin when accelerating from a stop at a traffic light on both dry and wet roads. I've had numerous instances where they've spun my wheels or caused my car to fishtail. Yesterday, they caused a serious and scary incident with my son in the car. We were put in a situation where we could have been seriously injured or killed. While turning left at a signal at low speed the tires slipped and caused my car to go sideways in different directions. After the last slide my car jumped a curb and we ended up in a grass area along the side of the road. Luckily, I was able to control the vehicle and not over correct the wheel. We were at risk of hitting a speed sign, having other cars run into us or running into opposite traffic. These tires should be recalled! they are tbc thunderer r007s made by tbc corp.
