Awful in snow

By DJA

from USA

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Traction T/A:

These tires seemed to be fine until the first snowfall. Don't buy these tires if you drive in snow. They are so bad that I contacted the company- but the rep defended the tire, and told me if I need better traction I should buy snow tires. I put on a lot of miles, and have 26 years of driving in snow without incident. I have never owned a snow tire- I buy all season tires. If you don't believe me do a Google search: "BF Goodrich Traction TA review snow", but without quotes.

Excellent tire

By Jake1402

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Traction T/A:

I drive 75 mostly highway miles one way to work in a 2004 Ford Focus. These are the only tires I will put on it. Get a consistent 32+ mpg. I will use these until they stop making them. They will get noisy when they are ready to replace, and by that time they will begin to lose traction in wet weather.

Much Improved Ride

Comments about Traction T/A:

Bought a set of T/A Traction tires for my 2005 CR-V. When I first purchased the car (used), there was a very cheap set of BCT tires.

What a difference a set of good tires makes! My car has never had a smoother ride and the performance in wet weather has been great so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do in the snow.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local BFGoodrich tire dealer for pricing near you.

DIR = Directional Tread

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

t For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118
