Road vibration.

I'm very disappointed. You can feel all the road conditions. I felt driving on the not good condition paving road. Driver and passengers can felt vibration road noise all the time even well paving road. I did rebalance next day of installation but same road continuously vibration felt. I'm assuming that especially patterns design and bended middle two vertical lines made this kind of ride experience. I exchanged with Micheline tire the next day of installation on my Toyota Corolla even pay $200 more and no special sale price. I don't want to keep this tires for next few years with uncomfortable riding and road vibration.

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

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.

Excellent tires, quiet, handles great

I bought these tires for my 2014 Chevy Traverse. These tires replaced a set of Cooper tires. I immediately noticed the BF Goodrich tires were much quieter and handled better. So far I’ve put over 600 miles in a couple weeks and the tires have performed well.

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!!!

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.

Outstanding tire

I have had 4 different major brands of tires on this car since it was new.. All had poor traction on dry and wet pavement. They all had a stiff ride with lots of slap on the road tar strips. They all had issues with tracking even with perfect alignments. This new Advantage Control is amazing. First thing I noticed was the car tracked absolutely perfect. Then I noticed in heavy rains I had no hydroplaning . Then I saw Dry traction was improved. This is an area that had always been a problem with the light front end of the Camry. Finally a big bonus was how quiet the tire is. The tire absorbs bumps in the road that all other tires could shake my teeth, All this and near total removal of the slapping sound on tar strips. I have yet to try this tire on snow or ice or check for tread wear, but so for this has been the best tire I have ever owned and I have tried a lot of tires over the 25 years I owned an auto repair facility

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!

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.
