Description:
|
These are all-season M/S passenger tires that are built with some performance-enhancng charcteristics. To start, they have a 70,000-mile wear rating, which is a lot. Furthermore, they are BF Goodrich and are a quality product. These were CostCo specific models made in 205/55/R16. They cost $400+ for the set.
I've lived with them for almost a year and can say that overall, these are good tires. I've run over some curbs in them, scraped the sidewalls against some curbs, and hit some pretty nasty pot-holes and driven over some bumpy roads without any problems. No punctures, no splitting, no separation. I accidentally ran one tire down to less than 15 PSI for about a week and it was fine.
As far as traction they're good. I have AWD so I can't say I have tested them to their full potential, but I've driven on icy roads, slushy roads, and very wet roads without any problem. Some slipping under heavy breaking and acceleration, but nothing major.
Performance-wise, you can tell these are all-season H-rated 70,000 mile tires, but there's some performance in them. Under hard cornering they stay planted and easy to control. I was pretty impressed with the performance! Plus, they gave a smooth ride with no major jolts or bouncing over rough roads.
My major complaint is road noise. At anything over 60 mph you can hear the treads really humming away even when the tires are aired correctly. There is also some vibrations when driving over certain road surfaces.
I didn't buy these (the car came with them), but would I buy another set? The short answer is no, not because they aren't good tires, but because of value. These were about $100 per tire from CostCo. For less money I could get as good or better tires from Yokohama, Khumo, or Hankook.
