Camry to Camwheee

Comments about Advantage T/A:

I bought a 2003 Camry last year with only 34,000 miles on the car. I blew out one of the original tires on a road trip and decided the 9 year old tires were not safe, even though they looked good. It was a tough choice between a mileage tire and the BF Goodrich Advantage. Glad I chose the sporty tire because these tires stick like glue in the corners. High speed cruising is excellent at 80+ MPH. The tires track straight and are extremely stable it high speed. The down side is the gas mileage dropped about 2 MPG. This may be due to the fact that I am driving a bit faster in town and feeling out the limits of the tires. Turned the Camry into a Camwheeeee!!!

poor wet/winter/snow performance

Comments about Advantage T/A:

I have an 2007 Subaru all wheel drive Impresa. This is my first Goodrich tire. My previous tires were Bridgestone Potenza's. There is no comparing the two tires. The Bridgestones were far superior in wet and snow conditions. The Goodrich tire are smooth and quite in regular driving conditions, but poor in adverse conditions.

1 75,000 mile warranty for T-speed rated sizes, 60,000 mile warranty for H/V rated sizes - see warranty for details.

2 Exceeding the safe legal speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

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.

** Exceeding the safe legal speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

>> 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.

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

T-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118
Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0
