Customer reviews for BFGoodrich Advantage T/A Sport LT - 275/60R20 115T Tire forAbsolutely Amazed: Snow/Ice Whoa!
Tonight we drove the car in a residential area with snow and ice on a 30% plus steep grade. Uphill the tires gripped the ice like normal road and was crazy! Coming back down was more anxiety than need for worry because these gripped just fine on the slope. We are amazed at the performance.
BEST TIRES ON MARKET
We bought these tires a month ago to replace factory tires and wow are they ever a whole lot better driving tire. the ride is soft and smooth and the noise is very minimal. We have had BF GOODRICH tires before and every time the BF GOODRICH tire out performs any other tire we have had on our vehicles. BF GOODRICH is now our favorite tire and the only tire we will consider for our future vehicles. This tire is a PERFECT replacement tire for a MAZDA CX-5. they look great and ride great
Thanks for the awesome review, HOGG007!
A Impressive Tire for Michigan Winters.
I've had my 1996 4x4 Dodge P/U for many years first installing Pirelli Scorpions (will never buy again) then General Grabbers which were better and now installing these BFG Advantage T/A tires. I have never been so impressed by a new set of tires like I have from these BFGs. My truck rides so rough I can't drive with McDonald's cup of coffee with a lid on it. After installing the BFG Adv. T/As they dramatically smoothed out my truck's ride on the pot hole ridden Michigan roads and I was immediately impressed. They also stick to the road like glue and cornering is great. I was very concerned when I put my tires through their 1st test. My front axle drive was broken and I needed to get the truck out of my back garage through a fresh snow with only one wheel rear drive to the shop for repair. The truck walked right through the snow off-road without spinning a bit. Then I drove the truck on many miles on snow covered icy roads to the shop for front axle repairs. The truck made it there with only one wheel drive so sure footed on those bad roads I was totally impressed. These tires stick to icy/snowy roads as good as my Bridgestone Blizzak Winter Tires on my AWD car. These have to be the absolute best truck/SUV tires ever for Michigan Winters and to improve the ride over our pot hole ridden Michigan roads. I'm totally impressed and only wish spread the word on a really good deal that these are the best true all season tires on the market.
Great tire so far
I bought these 5 months ago looking for a good all season tire with a tread that looks good for off-road , street and snow . So far they are doing great but have yet to have any snow , should have some snow in the next few weeks . I really like them so far and they have been good on street , off road / mud and rain . Can’t wait to try in the snow because the tread looks like they will be great I’m snow . As for road noise I seen a few reviews saying road noise was unbearable. I have had these about 6 months and have no issue with noise like some other reviews I saw . So far so good and I can’t wait to try in snow , the last set of bf Goodrich I had on my old car had a less aggressive tread but were great in the snow for an all season tire . These new ones look like they will be better in the snow . And no problems with noise after 6 months so don’t let them reviews put you off !
Best cross-over/hybrid tire out there
Got a set on my Outback before driving from CA to Montana - glad I did. Ran thru a nasty thunderstorm in southern Idaho, a little bit of snow going over the continental divide & did quite a bit of off-roading around Helena - dirt, gravel, and mud. Not only do these tires perform perfectly for just normal highway driving, they handled all the rain, snow, mud, and gravel no problem. Zero hydroplane and very little slip when off-road. Not much road noise, smooth comfortable ride and handling. I tried similar tires from Pirelli and Bridgestone - these were better. I will absolutely get them again.
Improved in all areas
have been in the tire sales Industry for 17 years. I am a goodyear guy throught and through. I also only buy sell and drive old Police vehicles. So my 2014 Tahoe PPV which takes a odd 265/60r17 V rated tire is hard to find stuff. the Eaqgle RS-A's are the police Standard besides the Firehawk Pursuit which are both WAY OVERPRICED. the good year from 10 years working at goodyear are laking in life and wet grab. the other tires were the Newer General Justice, not a general fan from my experience and time spent in the industry. Then the pathetic Nexen, not even on a ememies car. I am More than amazed and Surprised how much Quieter these Advantage T/A Sports are. Wet traction is definably better as well. My only Gripe would be the New Tread Depth. When I first sold some years ago I thought they looked like Snow Tires, but always heard good reviews.
Jack of all trades, master of none
2018 CX5 AWD owner - FL driver, and weather. These tires made my short list because they are 3 peak snow flake rated and have pretty good ratings. This mattered to me because I'm approaching a time when we'll be road-tripping to colder states and will inevitably encounter the wintry stuff. Best word to describe these: compromise. They don’t seem particularly excellent at anything, just a great jack of all trades which has an upper hand in wintry conditions vs A/S tires. These will do 95% as good a job tires like the Premier LTX or similar – yet are far superior in winter, less $$, and from reviews it seems they actually go the distance with their rated mileage. I've always had Michelins in my vehicles and they always wear out at about half their warranty rating. I hope the following will give you a feeling of what these feel like in my GT: Handling: less of a knife, more like a spatula. With that said, they aren't fully broken in yet. Wet traction: So far so good except one red light I spun tires a little, but it might just be the release agent because they are new. Drove over deep puddles at speed, yet I couldn’t break them lose.. they just bit the road. Dry traction: It’s an SUV not a race car. They do just fine. Comfort: they are on the softer side it appears – maybe a little bouncy. However you can feel every grit on that pavement. It’s as if they don’t isolate the texture from the driver, instead they transmit it straight to the steering wheel + seats. Not sure if this is a plus or a minus, but in my case, I'm not loving that too much. Yet don’t confuse this with noise. Feeling is different from hearing. NOISE... oh the noise many complain about. This was the category in the reviews which made me hesitate at getting these, but in the end I guess I took the dive. I will divide this part into subjective as well as objective: Subjectively (personally) I do feel they are a little louder, but not much - maybe 1 or 2 decibels. The added road feel I think plays a trick with your brain to make you think they are louder than they are (combining the actual noise with the gritty feel on some concrete roads). Objectively (with a decibel app on my Samsung Note 10) – shocking enough - they aren’t louder. I tested on my car, on a stretch of road at 50 and 60 mph. accessories off, windows closed, stereo off. 50mph = 70 decibels. 60mph = 72-74 db. 70mph: 74-76 db. Here’s the interesting thing: I immediately went and test drove a BRAND NEW 2021 CX5 GT with stock Toyo A36s which are the original tires for this car– and I got the EXACT same #s / db ranges. . New OEM tires seem to be just as loud (or quiet however you want to interpret) as these. IF there is a difference, I’d argue it’s subjective and does not exceed 1-2db. However the stock tires do seem to isolate the road feel better, which might explain why they might come across as quieter. One thing these tires DO have is a little humming noise. It’s there, it’s present, yet not intrusive. If you roll down your windows, you can hear it outside bouncing off the curbs and walls and such. This car does a decent job at hiding it with the windows up but it's still there. Overall, for the promise of added traction in winter conditions, I think it's a solid tire. I don't think anything else out there really combines these features with the promised mileage these have. Oh and looks wise... smoking! I hope this helps!
Awesome Francheezy! Thanks for taking the time to submit a review.
Very Noisey
Put them on my Honda CRV to get better snow/rain traction. Not a smooth ride and they make a noise like riding on a tar & gravel road; also, at about 45 mph they deliver a whine. Removed the tires and put Yokohama tires on the CRV all noise and whine went away.
Chuck777, we hate to hear that you had a bad experience with Advantage T/A Sport LT tires. We hope you will come back to our products again in the future.
While it stopped snowing after I bought these, I’m not sure how good they are in the snow. While I have no major issues with the tire, they continuously slip in the rain on one specific road by my house. It occurs in a turn where the road is slanted/angled going downhill. Not a Streep turn, but not flat either. So, I lack confidence turning in the rain with any grade downhill.
Paulric71@comcast.net, we're sorry to read that you have a wet traction complaint with the Advantage T/A Sport LT tires. A member of our team will be in touch to discuss this issue further.
Awesome tires!
I bought these to replace our previous BF Goodrich Long Trails on our 2012 Highlander. These had over 60,000 miles on them and were excellent tires, so wanted to find something similar to replace them. The new Advantage tires were a good choice so far. Good rolling down the highway, and good traction in the snow.
Thanks, Moose, for taking the time to submit a review. We appreciate your business!
