Initial Review, 80,000 Miles on Tires
March 13, 2013

Quite surprise on its durability, although its performance degraded rather quickly after the 60000 Mi mark. I basically run them down to the max I could and were still good under dry conditions but obviously not safe in wet or snow conditions.

This was a replacement tire for the original OEM Goodyears that I replaced at just over 38,000 miles. To be honest I did not know what to expect as these replacement Bridgestones were around half the price of the OEM Goodyears. I was very suprised overall and continue to be with the wet braking performance in particular. They balanced up easily and the ride comfort is excellent. Although maybe not so off road capable as the original Goodyear Wranglers? they do have the same load rating. There is very little wear so far and it is uniform, I would not be suprised if these tires went welll over 40,000 too early to say of course! A very well balanced tire performance wise - in fact a delightful tire and made in USA! If you are mostly on-road do not hesitate to install these on your Land Rover or Range Rover!

I have went 80,000 miles on these tires with no problems. The mechanic at the dealership that changes my oil just now said my tires are starting to show wear. I laughed and said they should after 5 years and 80,000 miles he couldn't believe it he said they looked like about 20,000 mile on them.

Initial Review, 36,000 Miles on Tires
March 11, 2013

The tires are great for traction in snow and ice. The problem is the wear is unacceptable. The tires were warrantied for 70,000 (now lowered to 60,000) and they wear out between 30,000 and 36,000. I have gone through two sets at very fast rates, getting rebates from Goodyear on the first set to the second set. I may change brands to get more than 30,000 out of the tires as I do not drive agressively, but they all seem to wear out very rapidly.

I replaced the Goodyear Eagle RSA's that are OE for my V6 Fusion SE with these Michelins, and I am so happy with the performance of these tires. They ride so quietly than the Goodyears and has made a big difference on my highway commute to work everyday. There is little to NO road noise while traveling at higher speeds which is like night and day compared to the Goodyears! Traction is very good and they handle very well wet or dry. Cornering is just as good or better than the Eagles that they replaced. I haven't had a chance to try them on the snow yet, but I'm sure they will be just as good or better than the Goodyears. I am very impressed with these tires and for the price, you just can't go wrong. I will definitely buy these tires again!

Best ice / snow tire I have ever owned, bar none. I have owned Goodyear and Michelin snow tires in the past. These run rings around both of them. Lock the AWD, put down your foot and drive through anything, including the Blizzard of 2013 transporting a nurse to and from work at midnight.

My new Honda Pilot SUV came equipped with Goodyear Integrity tires. When it came to time to replace the tires, I decided to replace them with the same exact tire since I was happy with their pass performance. After getting the new Integrity's put on, I noticed a road noise that I never heard before. I gave the tires a week, but the road noise did not go away. I went back to the dealer and they heard the noticed the noise too. The dealer re-balanced the tires, checked my wheel bearings, etc. But that did not help. I called Goodyear to ask for a refund under their 30 day drive policy, they said they do not refund money, they will only put me in another GY tire. GY decided to put another set of Integrity tires on. Well that did not help either. I asked GY for a refund again, they said no. Then GY wanted to put on Dunlop Signature tires. Since the dunlop tire cost sligthly more they gave me a minimal upagrade price I would have to pay. After they put the dunlops on, the price all of a sudden went up substantially. I said I did not what the tires. Then GY said they would refund all my money and take their tires back. At this point I was just feed up, I paid the difference and kept the dunlop tires. I've had the dunlop's for a few weeks and they are fine, I like them and there is no road noise. I think that Goodyear had a bad batch of Integrity tires because both sets had the same problem of noticable road noise.

I've been driving for over 50 years, my wife over 40 years and neither of us have ever hade a tire bulge. Now, with these Goodyears, bulges on two tires purchased less than 2 months ago. I say crap construction - dealer says "potholes" and it's not even pothole season! Will never purchase Goodyear tires again.

This is a preliminary review of the Continental PureContact with EcoPlus for the Mazda5. We have put 1500 miles of Pacific NW winter driving on these tires since our purchase. They are significantly quieter when driving on both concrete and asphalt highways, especially at freeway speeds. The Mazda5 is not a quiet, touring car, but these tires are a dramatic improvement over both the OEM tires and the Goodyear Eagles that we have previously had mounted. Our Mazda5 has a 5sp manual and so far, the Purecontacts have not lost their grip during normal 1st gear starts. About 80% of our driving so far has been in damp and wet weather and the Purecontacts track predictably at all speeds. Fortunately, the Mazda5 has not been in snow this winter, so no feedback yet on their snow performance. Only time and mileage will show how these age, but we are extremely satisfied with these tires so far.

I was not expecting too much from these tires since they were so inexpensive, but I was pleasantly surprised. The only thing I liked better about the oe tires was their traction in the rain. These tires are quiet, handle extremely well, and responsive. For the money, you can't beat them.

Initial Review, 44,000 Miles on Tires
January 21, 2013

A very good tire that gave me 44,000 troublfree miles. Probably could have gone another 10,000 to 15,000 miles but winter was coming on and i drive 3,000 miles a month, so I went ahead and switched to Goodyear's new F1 assymetric. I wanted something a little bit sporteier with better cornering. I am very very happy with theGoodyears, but the Bridgestone were quite good as well--a bit more sedate in the twisties. Very quiet at first, and a bit noisier after 25,000 or so and getting a bit noisier still by the time I switched. Not too bad really. Very nice manners, steering response was excellent. In two winters never really drove in anything but light snow and occassional ice. Very good response, but the Goodyears really excel. Al in all a high quality tire with a smooth and easy ride.

Bought the BF Goodrich Radial T/A tire for my GMC Sierra 1500 2WD standard cab stepside pickup as a replacement for Goodyear Eagle GT tires that I religiously ran on for many years (only to learn that Goodyear stopped making that tire in a 15" when it came time to replace them.) I wanted the White Letter tire and as many of you are finding out, 15" RWL this is becoming a dying breed.

This was the first set of BF Goodrich's I have ever owned and I was pleasantly surprised how much better and smoother they ride vs the Goodyears. Dry pavement driving is great, and wet pavement is good and acceptable. I typically tone it down in wet weather just because you can't expect a light truck to handle like a car due to the light rear end.

The raised white lettering is not quite as big as what Goodyear does and the BF Goodrich positioning of the letters are closer to the rim, vs Goodyear, which positions the lettering closer towards the treads. Not really a big deal to some, but if you have attention to detail like I do, its worth noting the appearance difference. Also as a notation, the tire shop filled my BF Goodrich tires with Nitrogen instead of air.

After having owned these tires for over 6 months, I wished I had switched to them earlier based on their ride and appearance. Unless something unforeseen happens, I would be likely to repurchase and recommend to a friend

Fantastic tires so far. So much quiter than the goodyears that came on the car. Traction is great in all conditions. Just got 6in of snow drove around with no problems. Haven't had them that long but I am very happy with these tires.

The Goodyear Assurance Tripple Tread All Season is the next best thing to a performance tire. It is also the next best thing to a snow tire. It is also the best all season tire I have ever purchased in my 46 years of driving. I've got the originals and am extremely satisfied witht their performance. I can't imagine how Goodyear could have improve the performance with the new version of these tires. I am sure that Goodyear did and cannot wait to purchase a set whenever these tires need replacement. When traveling down the road I get the impression that the car is traveling in a track. Straight as an arrow when I'm on the go. Cornering is like the suspension has gotten a major upgrade.

After 17,000 miles the tires and not wearing good and starting to cup. They ride ok, but are noisy. All around traction is pretty good. I will be lucky if I get 40,000 miles out of these. Air pressure is checked once a week, newer suspension, and good aliment. Wont buy again.

Phenomenal tire.

I have a modified Taurus SHO putting down about 405hp and 450tq, and these tires perform great in all conditions. I don't consider these all-seasons, i consider then 4 season tires.

Good in all conditions. I swapped out my Goodyear Eagle F1 summer tires, and expected a drop off in handling, but I seriously can't tell.

They are also extremely loud when you try to break traction, which means there is some serious grip from these tires. They are very quiet and smooth on highway cruising, and high speed stability is impeccable. No reason to keep summer tires around. Just mount these and you're done.

Oh, and the tread life is also amazing. I can barely measure any wear after 7000 miles. And my car is about 4400lbs.

In Vermont, we run winter tires pretty much from November until April, so it's important to choose wisely when shopping for a new set. These Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 winter tires replaced Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 winter tires, and I couldn't be happier with the selection. Every objective measure of performance (and satisfaction) went up with the Goodyear tires: grip on icy surfaces; deep snow performance; slushy and wet road traction; and overall comfort (NVH). And on dry, cold roads, I really appreciate the stability and responsiveness of a performance winter tire -- especially in a heavy, V8 powered sedan. It's been a 'real' winter this year, and these tires have exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.

This is my 2nd set of identical tires for my Supercrew. The original set came on it from the factory and lasted in the neighborhood of 65,000 miles - there was still life left but I was going on a trip so I went ahead and replaced them. This 2nd set has been equally great tires. My truck now has a little over 99,000 miles and the tires are in great shape. I fully expect the tires to last until I buy a new truck in a couple years. I would absolutely recommend these tires! And I would buy another set in I needed too! Fantastic wear!

I have had these tires on my truck for 2 years and 50,000 miles on them. I still have plenty of tread on them left. I should be able to get 75,000 miles no problem. I think these tires are great. I like how the sidewall sticks out slightly more then the rims to protect them. I would put this tire in the "buy" category
