No Problems or Issues

I have had these in the past with no issues at all. Little bit surprised by some of the negative reviews. Bought another 4 today. Now, I do not drive a lot - around 6K miles a year - and these perform very well. If I have any issues with the new ones, I’ll let you know.

Tire wear

I very much liked the way these tires made my car feel on the road. However, they are rated for 75,000 miles and they need to be replaced after 39,000 miles. Big disappointment.

Stay away

Excessive road force measured on all four tires, which is causing a vehicle vibration while driving. This is not an issue with spin balancing, but is instead an issue with the quality of the tire construction. Hunter road force balancer used at another business to diagnose the vibration and measure road force variation. Three out of the four wheels/tires were severely out of spin balance too, after leaving Sam’s Club. I believe Sam’s Club is selling new, but grade B or C tires. I would rather pay more at another location than need to go back to the store multiple times to get the issue resolved (and it hasn’t been resolved yet). I will be buying tires from the new car dealer next time. At least a new car dealer has updated equipment to correctly balance tires and diagnose vibrations, should the need arise.

Terrible-avoid at all costs

I purchased a brand-new set of four of these tires in 2023. Unfortunately, within roughly 2 to 2½ years, three of the four tires had to be replaced at different times because of the same issue: the sidewall began separating/coming apart. It is now October 2026, almost exactly three years since purchasing the original set, and I am replacing the fourth and final tire for the same type of failure. Having the same problem occur independently on all four tires is extremely concerning. These tires failed well before I expected them to based on their advertised mileage warranty and expected service life. I also have photographs documenting the damage to each tire as the failures occurred. At this point, I have replaced every tire from the original set. Regardless of how the individual replacements were handled, I have had to spend additional money each time just to replace tires that I believe should have lasted substantially longer. I cannot recommend these tires based on my experience. Four out of four tires developing similar sidewall problems within approximately three years is unacceptable to me and raises serious concerns about the durability of this model. If a Michelin representative reviews this, I would appreciate being contacted so that the documented failures can be reviewed. I have photographs and records available. Given that the issue affected every tire in the set, I believe Michelin should investigate whether there is a broader defect with these tires. I am also requesting that Michelin consider replacing my set at no cost. After going through four separate failures, I would not purchase this tire model again unless Michelin can determine why this happened and provide an appropriate resolution & a complimentary replacement. Braking: Braking performance was adequate while the tires were intact. Cornering: Cornering felt stable and predictable with no major complaints. Noise: Road noise was reasonable and never a significant issue. Traction: Traction was good in both dry and wet conditions. Wear: Wear and durability were terrible, with all four tires eventually developing similar sidewall failures.

Worst tire ever...

Horrible tire. Nearly caused an accident with a sudden blowout on the sidewall while driving on the highway. Spend the extra money for a quality tire brand. Don't make the same mistake I did with these budget tires.

Avoided a Blow out!! Thank GOD.

Bought 80,000 Mile BF Goodrich Advantage Control all season tires. Thank GOD my TPMS sensor died and a tire inspection was completed cause WOW the picture speaks for it self, Oh and they only had 40,000 miles on them!! NEVER AGAIN. Out of 4 tires the front 2 looked like the pictures on our 2018 Chevy Cruze.

Terrible

Bad from the start. Always bouncy and loud first thing in the morning, then seems to even out after warming up. After doing regular tire rotations, just after the most recent I'm told the tread is choppy. Well I'm pretty sure it's been choppy from the start. I will never purchase this brand again. I've only put 22,000 miles on these tires. What a waste. If I'd known about the 60 day satisfaction guarantee I would've gotten rid of them right away. Stick with Michelin.

These are among the worst tire that I have even had. Wore very fast. They follow the groove of the road terrible. Braking was poor. Wet traction was reasonable. Ride was ok. I haul a trailer so expect less mileage but only got a bit over 20k.

None

BFG tires are trash. The quality has gone down. Constant vibration issues because they have excessive road force from factory! Insane please stay away from these tires.
