Stay Away!!

Purchased 10/04/2021, 2 yrs 3 months and 55,000 miles later they are trashed. Balanced and rotated every 7,500 miles. Inside and outside sidewall is cracked and some parts the tread it completely lifting off the tire. It's a Ford Fusion so I'm not towing or doing anything crazy. Super disappointed in BFGoodrich. Will never buy again. This could have easily caused a major accident with my family in the car if I would of had a blowout on the interstate.

Not a good value in the long run

I have driven over 1000 miles  on these tires in my gas-based sedan. This is the third set of tires on this vehicle, the second BF Goodrich, but they are clearly not as good as the last BF ones - I am disappointed.  I purchased them in Feb in the northeast and have driven through rain, snow, ice, and even a few perfect days with unusually warm weather. I commute 50 hwy miles to work and also do a lot of neighborhood driving with my kids. While the tires seem safe in all conditions (braking was good) I am finding that they handle just OK.  But the main reasons I cannot recommend these tires are because my mpg has decreased noticeably, and they require me to apply more gas to get up to speed. When entering highways I have to push so hard it not only stresses my engine but it’s starting to make my leg sore.  I calculated my fuel spending. Over the life of these tires I will pay waaaay more than I would have, if only I bought a set of more expensive tires with better mpg. But now I am paying extra for these “just ok” tires.  Don’t make the same mistake I made - I hope this helps.

Bad Gas Mileage

I bought these tires because the original tires cost a little more than I could afford. The BF Goodrich tires were next best tires down from the original that dealer had in my size. I first thing that I notice were how quiet these tires are compared to the original. But down side is my gas mileage went down 2-3 mpg. And I'm losing air pressure, I don't know if its the tires or some other issue. As for traction, little less than the originals, needs more steering input and the rear wants to come around more. The tires feel heavier and looks taller. The ride is comparable to the originals.

Itsme, we recommend having the tires inspected by a BFGoodrich retailer, preferably the selling dealer, to determine if there is an air loss or if it is due to cooler temps. We suggest that you call us at 866-866-6605 from the dealer's store. Regarding the MPG, new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

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!

Very happy

Very quiet compared to the Mitchell that was previously on my 2016 equinox. Maximum psi on the tire says 44 PSI The information panel on the door suggest 35 psi max The side wall looks a little mushy can I inflate tires to a higher 40 psi ???? Thank you

Mike58, if your Advantage Control tires are the same size as the original equipment tires that came on your vehicle, it is recommended to use the pressure recommendation on the door jamb. If they are a different size than those tires originally equipped on your vehicle, we would suggest that you contact our team at 866-866-6605 to discuss.

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.

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 .

I needed tires and am happy with the ones I purchased

I bought these tires because I was scared about my previous ones. These ones make me feel better. They do start a little loud (which new tires have a tendency to do that). These are good quality tires for a decent price too. I am posting this before too much ware has been put on them too (bought and placed on 1/21/25 and it's 1/24/25 as I type this now.)

Poor quality

Brought four new tires, one tire turned out to be bad and out of round. Had tires rebalanced twice, with no luck. One was replaced as it was found to be out of round due to poor manufacturing. Still having issue with car shaking through wheel, seat and gas peddle. Had dealer inspect alignment, bushings, steering and bearings and found no issues. Will try to have all replaced

BF Goodrich Advantage control

I bought these tires because of great overall experience and quality of the BF Goodrich tires I have had had in the past. This tire too is awesome, it is not a snow tire but these tires perform incredibly in snow and very wet conditions. They perform equally good on dry roads. I do highly recommend them.
