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.

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.)

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.

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

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 .

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.

1st Car tire from BFGoodrich

Bought these tires mostly because it was within budget and from a brand I've known in the off-road world. They seem to be better than the OEM firestones FR740? But they were Old to begin with (9yrs). So far dry performance is decent.. Good Control, Cornering traction, Response but a bit heavier to accelerate though just because they are wider than stock from 185/55r16 to these 205/50r16. We’ll see in the long run how they perform.. especially on the next winter season.. they seem to be siped well. They’re not directional or asymmetric but not sure if that matters

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.

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.

Joie Chitwood Approved!

I’m not planning on doing any stunt driving, but if I do, I know these BF Goodrich will handle the job. These may be the best tires I’ve ever driven on. Grip, handling, smoothness, cabin noise is very low! Waiting to see how they perform in the snow; they have a high rating & you can tell by driving on them!
