Second Set

Just bought my second set of these tires. Got 65000 miles on the first set. They are a little noisy at highway speeds but the traction and wearability are worth the small inconvenience. Traction is very important with living in the Great Lakes snow belt .

Excellent bad weather traction

I decided to try this tire because it had some better ratings than others for snowy conditions. I replaced a set of Goodyear Eagle RSA tires with these on a 2012 Mazda 3. After 4 months and a couple of snowstorms, time for a review. The tires are a bit softer and have more slide-slip than the Eagle RSA had, took me a little time to adjust to the dry pavement feel when making a lane change maneuver. They just react to input a smidge slower. There is a little extra tire noise which I notice on wet pavement, but not enough to complain about, it is just there as a result of the tread design. There was a definite improvement in traction on snowy and even wet roads in comparison to the Eagle RSA tire. Living in Michigan, this was a big positive. The only other negative was a 1 MPG decrease in my fuel economy over the Eagle RSA tires. When from an average of 35 to 34 MPG on my weekly commute when averaged over a few months. I assume this is due to a softer tire compound increasing the rolling coefficient of friction. Given the improved traction in bad weather, I can live with this.

TWO TIRES DIDN’T EVEN LAST 10,000 MILES I COULD SEE THE bald part of the tire right down the center just like the complaint before me. I bought them on Nov 29 2021 had them balanced, and have only driven about 9-10K miles. I picked them because they were highly rated in the rain and snow and had decent tread life. They are for my child who mostly drives back and forth to school. Both front tires look exactly like his pics. Back ones are fine and have deep tread.

SOLID CHOICE

I’ve been rolling on these BFGoodrich all-season tires for a while now, and honestly, I’m really happy with them. They handle great in all kinds of weather—dry roads, rain, and even a bit of snow. Super stable and reliable. Traction is solid, braking feels smooth, and they seem to be wearing evenly, so I know they’ll last a good while. Plus, long drives are nice and comfortable—no weird vibrations or annoying road noise. If you want tires that are dependable, durable, and handle well year-round, these are a great pick!

BF Goodrich tires

My tires would not pass inspection and winter is approaching, so I finally gave in and bought new tires. I went to a local reputable dealer after doing my research to determine which tires were best and met my needs. Working with the dealer, we agreed that these tires were the best for my car. I am pleased with the tires and anticipate them lasting many years.

Great tires, not going to make it near 65k

These Tires have now been installed for 3 years, approx 40k miles, nearly all highway. They have performed great, they have worn evenly shoulder to shoulder. I like that the shoulder tread is thick so you don't lost tread on the outer part of this tires fast. They are at about 4/32 inch at 40k, they are rated for 65k. I doubt they will make it to that before hitting the 2/32, but I wont be finding out becasue once you get below 4/32 you lose a ton of the road grip and these become unsafe. I have a set of advantage sport and they are also 65k tires and those are wearing much better at 7/32, as they have for me on other vehicles of mine and family members.. not a big fan of these advantage controls as far as wear

Excellent tires

I bought these when they first came out a few years ago. Immediately, they super quiet relative to competitors. Excellent traction in wet and light snowfall conditions. Price was decent, too. Only gripe is they are hard to get, they have to be ordered, they are never in stock anywhere. They have been the best tires I have ever bought!!!

Loud Tires! Really Loud!

Just bought a set of 4 BF Goodrich Advantage Control tires 10 days ago, and these are so loud. Like on the drive home, I thought something was up with the transmission of my car, but then I realized the noise would only increase with tire speed. They look good, and the tread looks fantastic, but the noise is so loud that is really detracts. Last week I bought of set of Michelin Defenders for my other vehicle, and they are super quiet, like truly quiet. I'm starting to regret my purchase with these.

I’ve put about 1000 miles on these tires my fuel mileage had dropped. I feel like they find a line in the road and try to follow it makes the car feel very unstable at times. I feel like they sacrifice comfort and efficiency for longevity. Also noticed that they turn gray. I had to wash them several times to clean it off. They aren’t as quiet as they say I think they are loud.

Amazing tire for the price!

I bought these tires about 2 weeks ago and they are amazing! I cannot believe how smooth the ride they are and there is a little bit of a road noise but it's not enough to really even count. At highway speeds they are very smooth very comfortable. I am so glad I went back to BF Goodrich!
