Ohtsu ST5000
The Bottom Line
The Ohtsu ST5000 is best suited for highway drivers who prioritize dry grip and handling, with a solid 60,000-mile treadwear warranty. However, its wet grip performance is lacking compared to competitors like the Cooper Discoverer HT3, which may pose a risk in wet conditions.
Important Note
Wet grip is not competitive, which could be a concern for drivers in areas with frequent rain.
Pros

- Dry grip score of 8.5 significantly exceeds the category average of 3, providing confident handling on dry roads.
- Handling is impressive with a score of 8.5, making it a reliable choice for highway driving.
Cons
- Wet grip is below par with a score of 5 compared to the category average of 2.5 — expect less traction in rainy conditions.
- Comfort and noise scores of 6.5 are average, which might not satisfy drivers looking for a quieter ride.
- The Cooper Discoverer HT3 offers better wet performance, which could be crucial for drivers in rain-prone areas.
