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.

Dry rot sidewall damage
These tires seemed excellent at first but then developed a tear in the side wall behind the tire. Very very disappointed that a tire only two years old already needs to be replaced

Needs work.
Main issue is that the sidewalls have cracked, almost looks slashed, along the circumference of the sidewall. We replaced the two fronts in September 2024 and now a year later, the last two tires have also developed really long cracks along the sidewall. Costco says it's only cosmetic and safe to drive.
We’re sorry to read this is still an issue. We want to help. Our records show that we suggested taking the vehicle to the tire dealer for an inspection and have them contact us at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) to discuss further.

Best Tires, bar none!
I've been a fan of BFG tires for over ten years. Any time I have gotten a new or different vehicle, regardless of the tires on it, I have always put BFGs on. The Advantage Control is likely the best tire on the market for comfort, durability, reliability, and multi-surface traction in any weather. I replaced my current vehicle tires at 39000 miles and the difference in steering and handling was immediate. It's as if its a whole new ride. Whenever someone asks me what kind or brand of tire to get, I always say BF Goodrich! It's the only way to go!
Great tires.
I bought these tires 3 days ago, and I am very pleased with their performance. The tires give a smooth ride along with no noise. So much better than my old tires.
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
good price and a good product
Nice quiet tire I have owned them in the past
Good Tires
good ride just a bit loud right out of the box
Good Tires I presume, just loud for my Car
Wow, these are loud tires much more than the Michelin Pilot Sports I had.
