BFG ADVANTAGE CONTROL tires-bad tread life
I bought 4 sets of BFG ADVANTAGE CONTROL tires from Costco on 7/14/21 but these four tires already below the penny Lincoln head on 8/9/24 with 37,655 driven. I thought the tires will last 65,000 miles as warranty. I did my balance and rotation on time with Costco too. I'm very disappointed with these tires. Costco declined my warranty and they stated because of my car mechanical issue but I don't think that the issue because I had other brand before and it lasted long. I need to replace the tires ASAP since it's dangerous to drive now. I will buy any BF tires now.

HORRIBLE!!! NOT RECOMMENDED!
I wish I followed the review of "Serpico", because I experience the exact same thing on my Toyota Prius. I selected these tires because they were well reviewed overall and were a great price for what I thought was high-quality manufacturer. The tires make a noise like it is unbalanced (but they are NOT) on smooth roads. The tread design is VERY noisy overall, I honestly can't stand it. Fuel economy has dropped significantly -8% on average. Only good thing about these tires is the handling feel, sidewalls are stiff which lead to good steering feel. These tires are really for a 20 year old commuter car, and for people who don't care about noise and fuel economy but want long tread life. The 60 day guarantee is also useless!!! I purchased these at Costco, and they said they can only swap them for another BFGoodrich tire. Well guess what? There aren't any other BFGoodrich tires that they carry nor will fit my car. So now I am stuck with these tires for the next 65k miles, which sounds (literally) terrible to me.

Poor quality
I purchased these tires for my 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid, and I have been incredibly disappointed. The noise they generate is almost unbearable, making every drive feel like I'm in an old clunker rather than a modern hybrid car. Additionally, their lack of efficiency has been a major letdown. I was expecting improved fuel economy, but instead, I've noticed a significant decrease. Overall, these tires are a poor choice for anyone looking to maintain a quiet and efficient driving experience in their hybrid vehicle.
ROB, we're sorry to read of the noise issue. Our team is here to help. We will be in touch to work with you and your retailer in getting this resolved.

My Advantage Control tires
I purchased these about 6 months ago. They handle well in dry or wet conditions and expect them to do well in snow. Unfortunately, I'm getting overall about 5 to 7 MPG less than my previous tires and my 2016 Accord now feels very sluggish. I can probably attribute this to them being considerably heavier albeit them having more robust construction. I took them back to BJ's where I bought them and was told there was nothing they could do once I bought them but that wasn't the truth as there was a 60 day guarantee from BF Goodrich. I would have exchanged them if they were up front about it. Again, these are not bad tires, they're just not appropriate for mt car.
NDM, we appreciate the feedback and we're sorry to read that the satisfaction guarantee was not explained to you. Regarding the mileage, 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. A member of our team will be in touch to discuss options suitable for your vehicle.

Great features
Quiet running, excellent wet road preformance
LOUD HUMMING
I never leave reviews but this time I have to...THE WORST TIRES I've ever purchased. Had good success with BFGoodrich on my truck with KO2. Thought I would put BFGoodrich on my Escape and Taurus at the same time. At about 20-30,000 miles I now have a constant loud humming. Not road noise, humming, LOUD. So bad the dealer I bought them from thought it was a wheel bearing and replaced one for $400. It wasn't the wheel bearing and I'm out $400 and still have lousy humming tires. I'm a "car guy". Tires were rotated on schedule. Don't buy these tires!
Disappointed, we are certainly sorry to read of this noise complaint. A member of our team will be in touch to gather more information and help with a solution.

Cannot recommend. Poor wear mileage
We purchased these tires at Costco on 1/2/2024. About 32k miles have been driven and they are uniformly worn down to the point of needing replacement. For the price and for the mileage they have been advertised at, I personally cannot recommend them. Hopefully, BF Goodrich stands by their warranty and I can get some pro-rated compensation.
Randy, we are sorry to read that your tires are in need of replacing. We suggest that you take the vehicle to an authorized retailer (the selling dealer if possible) for an inspection of the tires and initiate a mileage warranty claim. Should there be any questions, give us a call at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri.
