Out of curiosity I looked at the online reviews from several sites and they are generally favorable. Tire Rack's review from three years ago said they were good but picked them third out of three in their test, but did say they were the best in snow. Yet Tire Rack's consumer reviews puts this tire at the top, so I think you are making a good choice with the deal you have found.

 

Long term follow up: these are more SUV than passenger tires. Good traction, but a bit noisy. The tread pattern reminds me very much of the stock tires that came with my '88 S10 Blazer, which were Uniroyal Laredo (although the current tire marketed under than name doesn't look like that anymore)..

 

Thanks for the update. I strongly considered these since I ran two sets of G-Force Sport Comp-2's on the FXT, but ended up going with the CC2. The Sport Comp's were noisy as well, but so was the FXT, so it was a good match. 😁

 

@Shalom,

How many miles on the BFG's? Noise increasing? And how do they behave/react to broken concrete?

C.

 

Always been a fan of BFG, General and Firestone - I generally recommend the baby brothers vs the flagship Michelin, Continental, and Bridgestone to all but the most demanding drivers. They generally benefit from the same engineering, and are often hard to distinguish from the flagship brands re handling, traction, noise, wear, etc unless you really push them to the limits of their engineering.

 

I'm acquiring new-to-me wheels tomorrow...

Flipping multiple coins between 245/55.... And 235/60/18's More options with the latter, and more sidewall... =/

 

Hi. I've been on the BFG Advantage TA Sport LT for a couple of years and wish I had never purchased um. My primary criteria was a quiet ride, better than the OEM Bridgestone Duelers. Tirerack had a top 8.8 noise rating for the BFG but after installation and first ride on street and hiway, a huge disappointment. At speeds over 60, the road noise gets even worst. Its claim is a Touring All-season but "sounds" more like an AT.

Now looking at tires reviews by consumer reports. Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive, Pirelli Scorpian Verde and Continental CrossContact are at top of my list.

 

Terrible. They were a good idea but did not work at all. too soft. poor wear. noise.

 

I think these are finally coming to the end of their lifespan. Lasted a lot longer than I expected, I think I put over 50K miles on and they weren't new when I got 'em. Admittedly I did put snows on in two of the three winters since I have them.
