Fortera HL

Anybody driving on the "Fortera HL"? Specs look great online but neither my local tire shop or their warehouse has ever heard of them.

Ive only seen a couple sets come through my shop. They are not a widly popular tire due to a flaw in the design which about 1 out of every 10 fortera has awkward wear after only 3k mile wearage.

Yes they do look awesome, but they retail usually near $130, and for that price you can get a better tire.

Thanks. Yeah, the more I looked, the more I'm thinking Firestone or Mchelin but it's hard to find what I want for a 16X8. I'm looking for OWL, good in rain, low road noise, good handling. Just a nice, smooth, good looking, cruising tire. My local shop keeps pushing Coopers but they're almost the same price and there's only one to choose from.
