Tire Rack Survey Result
BFG Traction are excellent tires, we stock and sell alot of them. Haven't had any problems at all.
As far as Honda skimping on OE tires, they are not the only ones. Most car manufacturers use mid-grade tires, or what ever they request a certain tire manufacturer design for them. Some Goodyear tires will say 'TPC SPEC' on them, these are tires that Goodyear originally developed for GM. The first thing I did with my wife's Yukon is get rid of the crappy *** Firestone tires that came from the factory.

Rep Power: 0 They are on and I already feel a great improvement on cornering stabilty and at higher speeds. There is that pesky white paint that comes from the factory all over the tires side wall. The tire shop said it will dissappear over time.
They also said the tires are great and no customer complaints. Said to expect 60,000 miles out of the tires. I got 10% off and also picked up the insurance for free rotations and fix/replacement.
These should go really well with my Koni Sport kit in 2 weeks. I already have the rsx rear sway and front neuspeed tower bar.
The best part of all these mods is that it improves sporty daily driving and no one can tell it apart from another EX Sedan.

Just a note.... Those Rateings from the tire rack are based on the opinions of the people who have used one or more of those tires... there is no quantitative data to support any of it. It is all based on the personall opinion of the person who decided to answer their survey... So believe them at your own risk.

Rep Power: 0 Sometimes user ratings are even better than professional reviews. Because they can be trusted where as some media's reviews might be biased toward advertisers.
How about this test review by their professionals?

Rep Power: 0 Those tire are OK for the money. I find that they are very heavy and don't tend to balance that great. I work in a tire shop and we have done a few returns because of the excessive amount of wieght need to balance them. But overall, they have an excellent warranty, decent priced and pretty sticky. I can't complain, my set was free.

Rep Power: 0 thats what i mean. I aint upgraded my rims and then having high perf $100 summer only tires, then spend $300 more on snow tires/steelies.
These are dependable all seasons that grip in any weather and will last a long time. In their category they are the best and make the OEM tires shameful.
