So far they have been very good. I have not had any problems with the tires or installation. Mavis's technicians did a great job on balancing and the alignment.

I purchased new tires for my small SUV from Mavis Tires & Brakes. I called four other tire centers in my area and Mavis gave me the best price for four new tires. The new tires are excellent. My ride is smoother and quieter and the tires performed superbly in the heavy rain we had this past weekend. I will definitely return to Mavis when our other car needs tires. Thank you for a great experience!

It is early 1000 Miles - What I had on were 4 various used tires. So huge safe improvement. Got the alignment, so myself and my family safer and that to me is most important that families ensure they have good tires. Budget for good tires and not ride around on worn badly worn tires like I was. Local garage here was good. Expecting I am going to be happy with the tire.
