I liked the concept they sold of a proven base and a thicker tread. You have to be aware that the dimensions could exceed a new tire and swing the gear to make sure. Also, I found that they sometimes don't have spares so I would send some used tires in for recapping and store them. My biggest complaint was balance. I've had tires from Desser that required big weights for balance so there are drawbacks but overall I liked the product and price. I have not put them on the Legacy.
