Ive worked with tires for way too long. In my experiences BFGoodrich makes one crappy tire. When we were putting them on certified used TLs back in 2005 customers returned daily wanting to return the tires due to noise issues. Believe it or not most of them were happier with Mastercraft Avengers. Tires are tires in my opinion as far as grip. A street tire is just gonna perform like a street tire reguardless of design/brand. Some wear quicker, some make more noise, some are harder to keep balanced, but outside of an R-compound tire you're gonna see more of a difference between sizes than brands. I ran a set of Capitol 245/45/17s a little while abck on a stock suspension ranger, and they rode like a dream, were cheap, and had good wear. I do like Kuhmo and Falken for a good all around street tire though. They boith make a quality product for the price. I currently have discount tire specials, the Falken Sincera?, on both of my personal cars, and they ride GREAT, and both ended up being cheap as crap. I HIGHLY recommend using discount tire for tire needs as ive had GREAT experiences both times ive used them buying full sets of tires with outstanding warranties.
