BFGoodrich Tires Reviews

The B F Goodrich Radial T/A has good handling and wear. It's very durable, very good ride, no vibration, no defects, no pulling to one side, and no internal separation. Good tread design for all seasons, IMO. I had a set of these before and they lasted at least 50,000 miles with regular rotations. I replaced them before they got really worn and dry-rotted. When my current tires need replacing, I hope these are still around. I have been very pleased with these B F Goodrich Radial T/A's on my truck. The white letters really set them off and look great. Plus they're easy to clean, even after several months worth of road dirt and brake dust.

The tires are very poor! Very little tread left, two have blown out and were irreparable, one had broken belt. In less than two years and only 22k miles, I am having to look at buying four brand new tires because these Goodrich tires have worn terribly and were NOT abused or subject to extreme or harsh road conditions. I check pressure weekly and try to maintain my entire vehicle properly. These tires have been a huge disappointment and have been extremely undependable.

LT275/65R20 - This replacement tire brand was recommended by Discount Tire after the original Goodyear Wrangler tires were not available. The Road Hazard Warranty was not honored after a blowout and they tried to sell me a set of the exact same tire with the same road hazard warranty. I've had the tires for 47,000 in mileage, in which the majority of miles were highway miles. The tires were noisy and bounced anytime there was a bump on the road or the highway was not smooth. Replaced tire(s) after R/R tire blowout causing $5,600 damage to my vehicle. More than plenty of tread was left on the tire. Remaining tires however appeared brittle with signs of cracking. Same tire in sizes 16 & 18 had been previously recalled by NHTSA. Had I known this before my blowout, I would have replaced them despite not being the same size tire being recalled. I recommend anyone driving on these tires should consider replacing them immediately.

We have a Dually F350 king ranch, crew cab, long bed. The left inside tires made a tump, my husband thought the front driver's tire might had blown out, we were going 50mph of that. We didn't hit anyone but it sure did cause over 4,000 in damages to the truck! Crazy thing the tire remained inflated. Is there a class action suit going on. These tires are defective! Dangerous! Can you please help, thank you.

I purchase a set of tires (White letter TA Radial's 255/60-15) from Sam's Club on Oct 13, 2015 to go on a 1978 corvette pace car which is a collector's antique. After a few months the white letters on the tires began turning dark. Got in touch with Sam's they referred me back to BF Goodrich. They ask me to get in touch with Goldsboro Tire Company, they looked at them and called BF Goodrich. BF Goodrich on Oct 5, 2016 they replace the tires with a new set of the same size. Now the tires have been on there since Oct until now this set of tires have also started doing the same thing.

With only 13K miles on it, my BF Goodrich TA Advantage developed a bulge. They blamed it on my driving but I don't remember hitting a pothole or scraping the tire. Even if I did, it would have been minor since I don't recall, and my tire should not have developed a bulge like that. BF Goodrich refused to reimburse me for the tire and it still has a lot of tread on it since I hardly drive in those 4 years of owning that tire.

I have had 3 catastrophic blowouts in the last 500 miles on my BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2 tires. These tires have only 17,000 miles on them and have always been rotated and pressure-checked by their authorized dealership. One blowout caused an estimated $2600.00 in damage to the front fender and surrounding area. Michelin denies any responsibility and says that I hit something. I am filing a consumer claim with the State of Washington Attorney General and plan legal action even if it cost more than the repair. Does anyone know of any active or pending class action suits as I believe that I have a very strong case?

I don't drive my truck a lot because of cost, that's why I buy good equipment. My truck is a GMC HD 2500 diesel 02. I bought my tires in 2013 in 2015 I had my first separation blow out coming down a windy mountain road north of Phoenix, Az. Severe separation left the tread on the highway and blew! The next tire I lost was right in the city of Parker Az. Lost the tread but was able to drive in a short distances to a tire store On the still inflated casing. These 2 tires had less than 13000 mi. on them.

On February 9, 2016 I purchased the set of four BFG All-Terrain TA Ko2 tires in size: LT 265/70R17 LRE RWL. These are the so-called "Baja Champions." On Monday, October 10, 2016, while driving on Highway 58, a divided 4 lane highway, my 2005 Dodge 2500 Diesel 4wD, suffered an unexpected and catastrophic tire failure. This event occurred across from Edwards Air Force Base at approximately 11:00 AM. The temperature had not yet reached 80 degrees and I was traveling on cruise control at exactly 70 mph. Later, after arriving at home and having had some time to settle down and think, I calculated the odometer as having been at 98,578 when the incident occurred. Since my odometer reading at time of purchase was 88,245, the tires had 10,333 miles on them when the incident occurred.

I had a similar experience to others here. My tires were about 3.5 years old, with about 30k miles. They had been rotated and had the air pressure checked on regular basis, including when I started on this trip. While towing a 9500# trailer on the NJ Turnpike, I heard a sound like an explosion at the rear of my vehicle, accompanied by an extreme vibration. Luckily I was able to get over on the shoulder, although it was not very wide. I have experienced an occasional flat tire and side wall blow out in my life, but nothing like what I saw, which was a loss of all the tread, and extensive sheet metal damage to the rear quarter panel. The separating tread had acted like a "mace" while rotating before it came totally off.

On September 25, 2016 I was driving my Ford F350 with a set of BFG KOs all terrain tires on it that have only about 11,000 miles on them. Felt a vibration on the truck and before I could pull over, the tire tread separated from the tire causing major damage to the right rear wheel well, bed area, tail light and the air bags under the bed. Like other complaints, the BFG company wants me to send my tire in at my expense if I file a complaint for damages or they will replace all the tires, but I have to pay for mounting and balancing. I will already be out my 500 dollar deductible for the truck repair. I agree, do not buy from this company, they will not honor their product.

1st set of BFG KO2 on a new Ram 2500 Diesel and 2 were out of round. Those 2 were replaced. The new ones wouldn't balance and the original other 2 were balanced 3 times with no luck. The whole set were replaced. The new set would not balance and vibrated. I had to pay again to have them balanced. They still vibrated. I fought with BFG customer service 16 times. Finally they replaced with a different size hoping this would correct the problem. Nope... had them balanced 2 times already and they are worse than the last 2 sets. Now NTB bent one of my wheels and my lug nuts are chewed up from taking these on and off a total of 11 times. Not to mention when they completely took the tires off the rims and rotated them around. The sizes were 325 and 35 on a 20 inch wheel.

I have a 36x13.5 50R18 that had a blowout, third one in the past three years (vehicle damage all three times). Long story short, we purchased the vehicle used and we honestly thought the first two blowouts were due to the tires being old. The most recent blowout is a tire that we purchased (we purchased two for $500 each!) I took the tire to an authorized dealer at the request of the claims department (the dealer confirmed it is defective). I later received a letter requesting that I send the tire via UPS or FEDEX to South Carolina, at my own expense initially. I live in Arizona. This is an outrageous request, the dealer confirmed it is defective, BF Goodrich should make themselves fully responsible for the shipping.

After reading all the reviews, I can only say, add one more similar experience. We bought 4 BF Goodrich Advantage T/A 215/60R17 at Pep Boys in February 2013. By May 2015, one of them was coming totally apart. They replaced it for free, as faulty product. By Sept 2016, the tires are severely and unsafely worn out at only 33,000 miles of life and only 2 1/2 years. Not even close to the 75,000 miles they are warrantied for. We were driving back home with a terrible shaking, our ABS would not even turn off all the way. The tires definitely will need to be replaced soon. We will be speaking to the Pep Boys store and see what they say.

Well exactly 2 years and 1 month ago I purchased a set of 4 brand new B.F. Goodrich All-Terrain T/A 275 70R18 tires for my 2006 Ford F-250. Let me begin with I am the type of person who thinks safety first and am constantly on top of my truck and tires since it is the family travel vehicle and I tow a 9 thousand pound travel trailer with it. I check my tire pressure and the tires themselves regularly for any possible problems that they may have. I even cover the tires from the Sun since I only drive the truck a couple times a week. Well this past weekend I was returning from a camping trip and was 600 miles from home when I started feeling a slight vibration while driving. I pulled over immediately at the next rest stop and inspected my truck and trailer tires and air pressure. Not seeing anything visible and being that it was 9 pm and no tire stores are open at that hour, I continued on going driving a little slower than normal.

I purchased a set of BFG tires from American tire depot. After 2-1/2 years and just over 20k miles on the tires I noticed severe cracking around the tread and sidewall of all four tires. After doing some research on the tires I discovered there were many complaints about BFG tires and also a recall on the load E tires. I called BFG to explain my situation and the recall that I had found on their website. I opened a claim and then returned back to where I purchased the tires and also Americas tire company to have the tires inspected. Both companies said I should not drive on the tires because of the danger of the excessive cracking in the rubber. American Tire Depot apparently ordered new tires and called to tell me a week later that the tires were in stock so I scheduled to have the tires swapped out.

I drive a ford excursion 4x4 with the rugged terrain 265/75 R16. While driving my kids to school the other morning I felt a vibration start, so I drove straight my local tire dealer where I bought the tires (less than 3miles). My left rear tire was beginning to develop a bubble (separation) so I had them install the spare. Disaster averted. Not so fast. The bad tire was placed in my truck in the spare tire holder. The next morning I opened the door to get in my truck and I see pieces of plastic and insulation everywhere. The tire exploded overnight causing extensive damage to the interior of my truck. It even caused a little body damage on the outside. All the interior panels directly in front of the tire were a complete loss but thank God my kids were not in the truck at the time of explosion. The tires do have appr 27,000 miles, but I never dreamed they could be a bomb when not even installed.

On May 5,2016 while traveling eastbound on I-10 approx. 2 miles from Winnie, Tx. I blew out one of the B.F. Goodrich tires on right rear of my motorhome. (2004 Coachman Santara on a E-450 Ford Econoline frame). Tread belt came completely off and tire blew almost in half. After contacting my ins. company road service, they sent a repairman out to install spare. I continued on toward my destination. Approx, 2 miles west of Orange, Tx. (45 miles down the road) the other B.F. Goodrich tire on right rear blew out. It also blew off the tread belt completely. Was able to drive 15-20 mph to reach Orange on the spare which was still inflated. In fear for my safety and that of my family I found a tire store that had correct size tires and had all of the B.F. Goodrich tires taken off and replaced.

BFG Tires fr. Sam's Club - began to vibrate, shake steering column/unoccupied passenger seat; bal. inside & out, rot./align. at every oil change - problem got worse. After reading the issues, removed the tires from my truck. BAD PRODUCT!!

I went into SAM's club and told them I needed 4 brand new tires. I told them I wanted a all terrain tire. The guy talked me out of the tires I wanted and insisted I get the other tires which I found out later they were having problems with the tires they insisted that I buy. I had a bolt - yes a frickin bolt in my tire with a flat end on it. These tires are very soft and that is why people are picking up ** in their tires that normally would not even stick in a tire. I'm not happy with these tires which cost me 800.00 and they refused to replace it. They drilled a huge hole in my tire and patched it... Really I mean that's a blowout ready to happen. These tires have horrible reviews. I will not refer anybody to SAM's to buy these tires and what makes me mad is they knew of the problems when they sold them to me. I guess the commission they would make off the tires was more important. Not a happy camper!!!

In mid August, I was driving with my roommate and her sister to an event in Massachusetts. We had been on the highway nearly the whole time, about 1 1/2 hours, with a few spots of construction about a half hour or more past. While on a clear stretch of highway, almost completely smooth and clear, my car started to shake. I turned to tell my roommate my car, a 2012 Ford Focus hatchback, has probably overheated and I had to pull over. Through the back passenger window, I see nothing but smoke. I tapped the brakes and tried to coast to a halt from about 65-70 mph.

I bought a set of these tires 18 months ago. About two months ago, I noticed one of the tires' tread was separating. I returned the tire to Americas Tire Company under warranty. They advised this tire is not longer being manufactured but they located one in Texas, I live in CA. So I waited about 2 weeks to receive the new one.

I bought a pair of BFG KO2 tires for my 2008 Cummins on Nov. 9, 2015. Two weeks later, driving 70 MPH on I-80 near Truckee, CA catastrophic tire failure. Nearly caused a terrible accident and damaged my immaculate truck. I read reviews before I had bought the tire, and was still convinced by the boys at Discount Tire that this was the best tire for my truck. "150 complaints?" they said, "we sell millions of these tires and have never heard of the issue. 150 complaints is what a 1/2 percent of the people that run this tire." I should have listened to the reviews, tires had less than 1000 miles on 'em. I don't know what will happen with Discount Tire and BFG on Monday the 23rd, but I will keep you posted.

I've owned BFG's all my adult life. These particular truck tires were purchased 3 yrs, 5 months ago. I only have 12k miles on them. Last month, the right rear tire shattered while on the CA freeway, about 9 p.m. Caused over $2800 in damage. Crazy. I suspected all my tires now to be defective. Today, same thing happens... this time, the left rear. I'm getting an attorney Monday morning. I'll never buy BFG again.

I bought 4 each BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain tires size T/A Lt275/70R18 for my 2008 Ford F-350 P/u from my local Ford Dealer (Larry Geweke Ford) for $875.00. I also purchased a Road Hazard Protection Plan for $64.00. While driving on I-80 just outside of Battle Mountain Nevada I experienced a vibration in my front end. I pulled over and noticed my driver's side front tire had separated.. I put on my spare and made it to Battle Mountain where I bought a new tire for $372.56. I kept the old tire and continued on my hunting trip to Baggs Wyoming.

I have a Chevy 3500 1-ton single axle pickup. I have always owned trucks and purchased ONLY BF Goodrich tires for them and my trailers. I show horses and have MANY miles of hauling experience. Before EVERY show (1-2 times per month), I check all the tire pressure on the truck, the 3 spares and the horse trailer. I also use Klasse to keep the tires moist (which was recommended to me by Americas Tire Store which is where I purchased these tires almost 4 years ago). These tires have maybe 20K miles on them.

I own a Ford F-250 with BF Goodrich (Michelin) LT275/65R/20 Rugged Terrain T/A tires with 37,000 miles on them. I have service records to confirm that they have been properly maintained/inflated and rotated regularly by my local Ford dealership. They are still under tread warranty.

I bought a set of BF Goodrich all terrains and by the time the tire were ready for the first rotation the rear tire on my 2003 Chevy 2500hd were out of warranty. I bought the new set in December and five thousand miles later they're out of warranty, that's **. So now I'm stuck with a useless set of tires that cost me over a thousand dollars and I don't have the money to buy another set of tires when these blow out and that could happen at any time. BFG has really lost the quality so I thank BFG for a ** set of tires and for wasting my money on **. Thanks again.

In 2008 I purchased a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe for my daughter. It had 42,000 miles and in great shape except for the tires. The vehicle had BF Goodrich T/A Long Trail on it. They had some dry rot. I checked with the local tire shop (Tire Town) and they inspected the tire and said it was safe. After 3 years of use with very little mileage, it got much worse. So at this time I wasn't going to take a chance with my daughter's safety. So I went to our local tire dealer (Tire Town) and ask for a replacement tire. They recommended the same tire and said the dry rot was unusual for that tire and probably due to the tires not being cared for. So I purchased new Long Trails all around. Had the tires rotated when needed and kept them Armor-Alled. The tires at this time look worse than the ones I replaced.

On July 28, 2015, I was driving down the road at approximately 50-55mph pulling a boat trailer with a 2001 Dodge 3500 pickup truck, when all of a sudden the driver side rear tire blew out, like a bomb going off. It took off the whole driver side rear fender, stuck the boat, and the bent the boat trailer fender resulting in 3,400-3,500 dollars of damage. The tires on this truck were the BF Goodrich KM 2 mud terrain T/A size LT255/85 R16 with approximately 8,000 miles on it. Pretty much a brand new tire. I have ran some sort of BF Goodrich mud terrain tires on my vehicles for over 25 years, without incident. The tow company that came that day was astonished that a tire was in such good condition and had blown that way and felt it must be defective. Said it look more like a retread tire.

Tires in good condition, blow out on freeway destroying left quarter panel of my truck. Couple of months later blowout on freeway destroying right quarter panel as well as displaced tail pipe. Not only is this resulting in the need to replace all the tires for safety. But also costing $1,000 in insurance deductible to repair damage to my truck.

We were on our way to Michigan for a visit with our son, Eric and family. On our third day out, July 11, 2015, just about 75 miles outside of Wichita, Kansas, a loud bang - WOW. We were lucky, the left rear tire tread separated. One long alligator, we had a wide shoulder and Triple AAA. After several conversations with AAA, we tried to contact someone to come out to help us. Finally. KANSAS LAND TIRE in FREDONIA came out with a new tire, changed it, replaced the BFG with a MasterCraft, only kind they had of our size.

BF Goodrich - if you're reading this your tires suck! Your valve stems suck! Two times I've had to put air in my tires due to slow leaks and each time the valve stem came shooting off in pieces after I put air in the tire. What gives? If this happens while I'm driving down the highway with one of the other two tires I am going to own you!!!

I purchased 4 tires in May of 2013 for my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The tires were BFG radial T/A 265/60R18 35536. I have put less than 30,000 miles on the tires and they have been rotated regularly. The tires lost tread very quickly and I had to replace them recently. My dealer was surprised they were in such bad shape. The recalls don't address these tires from what I can tell. I will never buy another BFG tire and insist they be removed from any future new car.

I have been purchasing BFGoodrich tires for years on all vehicles that I own and with the last 3 years I purchase 2 sets of 4 tires that install on my vehicles, 245-65-17 28,000 7/32 tread depth miles and has excessive dry rot and cracks. I contacted them a few times they sent me to Sears in Jersey City New Jersey and they verified the complaint, then BFGoodrich corporate I had to call and got through with Andy and he was no help at all - offer 50% for any new tires I purchase. Then he said his manager was not available. However they then offer to pay 70%. I didn't accept that offer since my tires is measured at 7/32 tread depth.

BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KM2 - I have owned a set of LT285/70 R17 Mud Terrain tires for about 40k miles. Around 15k miles I noticed a wobble at speed in the steering. Tire store suggested they were out of balance so had them re-balanced and rotated. Following next rotation noticed wobble again. Balancing seemed to solve the issue, but I believe this was because the defective tire was always moved back to the rear axle. 2 days ago while my fiancee and her son were on the freeway the tire de-laminated and threw a 26" long section of tread. She succeeded in wrangling the truck onto the shoulder.

Tire blew tread off of casing doing 3,500 damage to bed of truck. Tire had 70% of tread left. 1st tire I caught before blowing apart, 2 months prior it split the cords and bubbled.

I purchased six BF Goodrich Commercial TA AS tires size 225/75/R16 for my 2002 Itasca 31' Motorhome in March 2010. I keep the tires covered and dressed when I'm not traveling, and have had them rotated every 4,000 miles. I check my air pressure before every trip in the Motorhome, and also frequently check them while on the road. I believe the tires are defective, as I've had to replace four of the six tires, two of them because they blew out on the highway at 50 MPH. Fortunately, no one was hurt in either incident, but my Motorhome sustained significant damage in both incidents. I replaced the first tire in April 2014 (with just over 7,000 miles) under my road hazard certificate after it developed a split in the sidewall and began slowly losing air.

** in Reno and others with similar BFG failures. I recently had an event that was frighteningly similar to all of yours and resulted in injuries. I would be interested in being part of a class action too, so please contact me direct at **.

I have used BFG All Terrain for over 20 years. I will not use them again. I have suffered three different accidents/near accidents from these tires coming apart at highway speeds from 45-65 mph. My truck's rear quarter panel looks like I drove over a mine field. I am taking my truck today to remove the remaining three tires from my truck with the BFG name on them. My grandfather made BFG tires in Akron, OH in the 60's and 70's and I always stayed loyal to BFG BUT since the outsourcing to Thailand, it is obvious their quality has gone downhill. I am very diligent on my truck maintenance and always adjust my tire pressure for the driving conditions/temperature. Such a sad day for me to see another good U.S. company sell out to cheap labor.

I bought a truck with bf Goodrich tires on them. They are 21/2 years old and the right front tread totally came off without the tire popping.

Just bought a new truck and had 2 of the BGF All-Terain KO delaminate and explode on me in the past month. I crashed into the center divide the second time. First tire to blow discount tires said it was a factory defect. Now it happened again on the opposite side. This is unacceptable and I want to start a class action lawsuit against the company. If you share a similar experience, please contact asap at **. I live in Reno, NV.

Bought these tires about 3 1/2 yrs ago. They are peeling on the sides of 3 of the tires. Brought it back to my local dealership where I bought my F150 Ford Truck, and tires. They said they couldn't do anything for me. They said the tires are not warrantied anymore, so now I have to spend another $1,000 on tires? Clearly there is a defect in these tires, and would not recommend these tires to anyone.

On May 20, 2015 me and my family were driving along Interstate 10 near Tucson, AZ. We were traveling at highway speeds when I lost control after my back tire separated. My tires were 285/75r16 BFG KM2 and Load E. I fill these tires to 48 pounds for a 1/2 ton Chevy Silverado. I have always trusted BFG, mostly the mud terrain because they are a hard tire and I had never heard of them blowing out or separating. I have gone through 5 sets of BFG MT's and started with the original KM1 design. With the grace of God, Me and my family survived after rolling 4 times. I had no control of the pick-up as it went directly off the road.

Bought a set of BFG all terrain T/A KO 285/75R16 122R D. Had a blow out at 8000 miles. No apparent reason for the blow out. Remaining three tires were properly inflated. America's tire replaced it with a purchase of a protection plan on all four tires. Good thing because 20,000 miles later the right front had tread separation occurring. Dealer offered a new tire but I opted to use the credit towards 4 new Nitto Trail Grapplers.

I was traveling down the road at about 55 mph and my Ford Excursion start to jump. I slowed down then I heard a loud noise and pulled over to the side of the road and discovered that the front drivers side tire completely peeled apart. No one was hurt but my vehicle sustained damage. I had the spare put on and then about 2 weeks later the same thing happened to the front passenger side. At that time I was only going about 40 mph. The type of damage was done to my vehicle. I know have to replace both tires and have my vehicle fixed. Is there any kind of compensation I can get from BF Goodrich since it was both of their tires that the tread completely came off? The tires still have air in them. This is something that should not have happened.

On May 1, 2015 I was traveling from Ceres, Ca. to Elko Nv. in my Ford F350 Crewcab 4X4 pulling my 40 foot 5th wheel trailer. I had just got on Highway 99 North in Ceres, Ca. and drove about 3 miles when all the tread came off the left rear tire on my truck but the tire did not blow out. I was very lucky it didn't cause an accident on the busy highway. Big-O Tires in Modesto Ca. did not have this tire in stock so I had my spare put on and purchased a used spare so I could make it to Elko, Nv.

Purchased a set of BF Goodrich Long Trail 60K mi. rated tires for my F150 in 2009. Drove the vehicle 28K mi. and the tread wore down past safe tread depth. Had cracking between the side wall and tread. Also chunks of rubber coming out of the tread. Took it back to merchants and they worked out a 43% credit/tire with BFG. After reading these reports I don't think quality has improved. My kid's life is worth more than that.

New 2011 Ford F-250 XL Regular Cab 4x4 purchased with LT245/75R17 BF Goodrich RUGGED TRAIL T/A (Part #: 9OO4 47814) tires stock from the factory. All four tires rotated and re-balanced every 6-months at Ford Dealership for $50.00 a shot. Truck Total Mileage is 17,971. All four tires fail to satisfy 2015 New Hampshire State Inspection at 2/32. BF Goodrich says that I am entitled to pro-rata warranty replacement; however, my portion of this is 40% + all mounting and balancing charges as well as disposal fees. So the bottom line is that I need to pay over almost 60% of the cost to replace tires that haven't even met 1/3rd (less than 33%) of their mileage guarantee that came on this brand new truck! Do they think I will really buy 4 more junk tires that won't last 20k miles? This company also own Michelin, which is probably why their tires are just as bad!

Noticed side wall separation also dry rot on p 225 70r 16 tires. Took back to Sam's Club - they would only prorate tires. Contacted BFG - they were rude, non caring, arrogant, hung up on us. I've had many BFG tires - never had issues at all until now. Tires rated 75000 miles. Only had 30000 miles. All 4 tires had tread separation and dry rot. Took 4 calls to BFG. One guy pretended to be manager. Wouldn't tell us his name. We also asked for corporate headquarters' phone number - wouldn't tell us. Never buy BFG again. Have a Chrysler 300 2015 - has Michelin tires, may get rid of those too. What a bunch of pompous customer service people. Phone to BFG customer service 888 971 3803. Talk to them yourself and see how you're treated.

Experienced a flat tire on the right rear. When the road service employee removed the tire, he advised me not to have it repaired, as it was showing signs of dry-rot between the threads. When I brought the car to Moody Tires in Franklin Tn., the dealer that the tires were purchased from, his resolution was to replace the tires at a 60% discount as all four tires were in the same poor condition. My question is why would defective tires with less than 25,000 miles not be fully warrantied? Four new Advantage TIA/MSPN-90933 are now on my car at the cost of $247.00. Hopefully I've not made another mistake by purchasing B.F. Goodrich again. Was I taken advantage of by the dealer or the manufacturer?

Have had 2 sets of BFG all terrain T/A KO 285/75R16 122R D that failed due to separation problems. BFG replaced 1st set at 100% and second set they refused to replace at 100%. The tires are unsafe and unpredictable. Beware, can cause deadly blowout.

BFG A/T KO 265/70/17 - Bought a set for my 2006 GMC 2500 4x4. I haul a 100 gal. fuel tank and approx. 300 lbs. of tools every day. Had the tires about 30k miles before the first complete tread separation resulting in a bent rear driver fender, looking like I climbed over a stump. Next at approximately 40k miles I wasn't as lucky, again total tire separation on passenger side rear with damages including another bent fender, tail pipe damage, bumper damage, scratches down my bed, and a busted tail light. The 2 remaining BFGs still appeared to have 10-15k miles left on them but got replaced with Toyos. Thanks BFG.

Dry Rotted bf Goodrich long trail ta tires. Tires keep losing air. Noticed in between tread tires dry rotted and cracked badly. While other tires are being recalled for same problem my size is not. Do not understand what difference size makes. They all were made with basically same rubber compounds.

I own a 2000 toyota mr2 spyder with 9600 miles, yes 9600 miles. My car is immaculate and garaged kept. The tires are about 8.5 in tread wear. They are like new except within the last few weeks they started cracking in between the treads. I contacted BF Goodrich/Michelin at 800 521 9796. The tires have been on the car for about 4 or 4 1/2 years. BF Goodrich wanted to speak with the tire dealer and not me. Went to Discount Tire here in Daytona Beach and they contacted BF Goodrich. BF Goodrich's answer, tires are over six years old. They will not honor any warranty and will not give any rebate or discount on a new set. DOT info (4307) and (5007). These tires were made in Thailand and have a history of premature cracking between the treads. What can I do?

We caught a separation before a blow out and replaced it with a brand new one - it was deemed to be defective - "made incorrectly" is how I think they described it... then one of the original 4 tires actually blew out on our truck (thank God we rotated it to the rear), causing over 2K in damage. Like many other people on this page, we have replaced all our tires (with new BFG's) due to the lack of confidence in the original ones. We got the one defective tire prorated, and paid for the others, as well as paying our insurance deductible to repair our truck.

Just replaced a pair of BF Goodrich A/T tires on my Camry due to dry-rotted sidewalls. I did not experience a blowout. The tires were manufactured in 2009, so they were 5-6 years old, but lightly driven and still had 1/2 to 1/3 of the tread remaining. I was googling around to try to find online discussions about whether certain tire brands are more prone to dry rot than others, and this page kept popping up. It seems that BF Goodrich tires may in fact have a problem with premature dry-rot. I have another vehicle with four Hankooks on it that were also manufactured in 2009 that show no signs of dry-rot. I will not purchase BF Goodrich tires in the future.

A few months ago a friend of mine who has the exact same model and size tire that I have (BFG Mud Terrain T/A KM2 35 x 12.5 x 18) separated on his Dodge Ram. He was driving home when he noticed the tires started shaking. When he got home he noticed that his tire had developed a bulge on the tread. Granted, his tires were getting a little long in the tooth but still I don't believe they should of done that.

I was towing a trailer loaded with a bobcat behind my F350. Maybe 10k total trailer weight at the time... This is when my rear passenger tire came apart. In the process damaged the boxside, exhaust and brackets. I was able to get it to the side of the road. I was going about 60 on the freeway... If this was the front tire I probably would of hit another driver that afternoon. These tires were 305 60 18 KM2 BFG Load E. They had 30,000 miles and were awesome tire until this happened. Wore very well and even...They were also very quiet. I had purchased them through Discount Tire Online. I brought them to the local store and they measured the tread depths. I was still at 50% tread depth after 30K. These would of made 50k easy. Bottom line is BFG would warranty the bad tire at a prorated price. This is fair but I don't trust the other 3 tires. What if my wife was driving the truck when the next one comes apart?? I now have a different brand tire on my truck after 15 years of only using BFG. Anyone else have this happen???

I've been a mechanic, specializing in brakes and suspension and a BFG fan for nearly 35 years with sets of different T/A tires mounted on both cars and trucks. In fact, the last set of Advantage were purchased for the wife's 2000 Taurus exactly 2 years ago from this same dealer. Was initially impressed by their ride, handling and control in snow and dry. Unfortunately other mechanical problems forced the sale of the vehicle at less than 1000 Kms so no long term wear evaluation.

On Sept 16, 2014 approx 10:00 am. I was heading to work from Edmonton to Grande Prairie Ab, traveling at highway speeds just before Spruce Grove Ab when I noticed my truck start to shake violently. I then slowed down to approx 70 km/hr when I heard a loud noise and my truck swerved to the right barely missing a transport truck. Controlling my truck to a safe spot to stop on the highway, I exited the vehicle and noticed that the tread peeled off the tire and was still holding air.

I have 35 x 12.50 x 18 BF Goodrich Mud Terrains on my 2005 Superduty F 250. I bought these tires, all 4, new. I had ran another set of same tires on my truck and am rather disappointed in them. I just suffered a separated tire in the front passenger, causing substantial damage. Thank God no one was hurt, nor did the vehicle overturn. These tires have less than 5,000 miles on it. In my opinion, there needs to be an investigation launched of these tires. I have faithfully rotated these tires, balanced them, ran with proper pressure in them and this is scary for a tire to fail.

My wife and I recently purchased a Nissan Xterra and the other day I noticed the tires had extreme discoloration on sidewalls and the sides felt like they had dimples in them. The car has less than 4000 miles on it and the tires have never been run up against the curb, besides the discoloration is around the whole side wall periphery. With all the comments on BFGoodrich tires that have been produced in the last 2 years on this site, I'm wondering if they are safe. At the moment we do not do a lot of high-speed driving on them, but might next year. Would really like to see a formal number of complaints about these tires; is there a database somewhere with this information?

BF Goodrich rugged terrain, have had 3 tires tread separation with less than 23,000 miles. I time the tire still had 80 lbs of pressure in the tire, the tread came off and damaged van. The tire still had 80lbs with the tread gone. Customer service said I ran the tire with low tire pressure. Today had another tire blowout, damage to van. The tires come apart, produce a vibration, then blow out. The first time with less than 10,000 miles the tire had a big egg in it, stopped before blowout.

Nothing happened yet but will update if it does. I am very concerned after reading about the problems causing accidents. I have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma that has 27,000 on it on OEM tires. After checking out my tread depths since I am due for inspection tomorrow I noticed there are pretty good cracks between the outer and next tread on all four tires. I contacted BFG and they opened up an account for Toyota to reference if they call BFG during the inspection. My concern is I really can't afford new tires and I shouldn't need to buy new tires but they may decide to prorate them so it will still be several hundred dollars anyway. That sucks for defective tires. BUT can't drive on them if the dealer says they are dangerous either. Maybe I can get the Toyota dealer to give me the prorated amount on a different brand.

Tires are coming apart at tread. Severe weather checking on side walls and around rim where mounts to wheel. Tire separation..Made in April 2011. Have 30,000 miles on tires. Have steadily gotten worse. Told no longer safe to drive with them on. Recall on some. These need recalled and replaced for FREE.

Have 4 BFG Long Trail T/A tour 235/65/18 4 years old sides are all dry rotted. 20000 miles, need to replace all 4. I have 2 other cars with older tires twice as much mileage that have other brand tires and are fine. These tires I have rotated every 5000 miles. Very displeased with this make and brand.

BFG 225/75R16, commercial TA - Purchased 4 of the above tires for 2007 E350 Ford Van on 3-15-11 then had the front end aligned. May 2014 at 39,000 belt failure in one timer, replaced two. At 41,000 another belt failed, replaced last two. Van has over 100K and I rotate ever 10K, plus check air and keep all my vehicles well maintained. Now BFG tires from two different dealers, one in NC and the other in OH. So who will honor the warranty on which tire when the next belt fails? Used to live in OH with a lot of pot hoses but since December of 2010 have lived in eastern NC where the pot holes are comparatively few. Had too many belt failures on a 2006 Audi A6 with BFG Z rated tires. Back in the late 80s one set of BFG tires with a more aggressive tread on another Ford van cupped and scrapped off 50% of tread in 5K miles. Dealer replaced them with a different tread pattern, then I got 112K miles on those tires. I typically get 60K+ from a set of tires because mine are road miles.

BFG All-Terrain TA - I've owned several sets of these tires over the past 15 years. This last set has been on my Land Cruiser for 4 years and 15k miles. Last night I had a full tread separation and blow out at 40 mph! After checking the other tires I see that they have many splits and rot - ready to come apart. What the hell! It looks like Goodrich has decided to follow the Firestone manufacturing process!! Enough said; they won't be getting any more of my $$, not ever. Makes you wonder how many people have been injured, or worse, driving with this latest batch of Goodrich tires??

Bought 4 225/75R16" BFG T/As 2 years ago for 5th wheel. After 10,000 miles I threw the entire tread off of one doing 60 MPH on I-10. Two dealers said the tire was defective and to call BFG for replacement. BFG refused to honor any warranty. After checking the other 3 tires, dealer found that two of them had broken belts and were on the verge of failure. Tires looked new. Covered when in storage and have TPMS on them. BFG would not honor any warranty on any of the other two.

I, in the past, have bought 4 or 5 sets of 31x10.50-15 BFG All Terrain tires, complete set of 4 each time. I would regularly get 80,000 to 90,000 miles out of each set. That was until I bought a set of of them 2 years ago. These tires only have about 25,000 miles on them and are cupping so badly that my Toyota 4X4 sounds like a log truck coming down the road. I have praised these tires for years because of their high mileage capabilities. Now after reading of everyone else having tread separations, dry rotting, and blow outs, I am in the market to go spend an unnecessary $700 to $800 dollars for a new set (Brand) of tires when I feel that I should have 2/3 of the life left on these tires. I run T/As on several of my antique cars and notice that they are dry rotting, though I have one set, 12 years old, on a vintage Chevy van and they look like new with no cracking or dry rot. Somewhere the rubber formula has changed and apparently the DOT has blinders on to not make notice of the amount of tire failures. What is that I see being passed under the table?

Purchased the KM2, although I would have preferred the K0 pattern, but it was not available in this size for my dodge 3500 dually 4x4. Initially, very satisfied, quiet, good on road performance, great in mud & surprisingly sand too. Now, with a little over 10k miles & 3 rotations, they are down to less than 50% tread, which is poor, but kind of a performance trade off given the aggressive pattern & soft compound for on road grip.

Similar problem with LT285r70 17" "Rugged Terrain" on 06 Ram 2500. Total thread separation at 70 mph. $4,000 damage to driver’s side and rear. Tire held air, limped into town, 5 mi on steel belts. This is second tire of this set with issue. The other had slipping belt. Who at BFG gives a flip?

BF Goodrich A/T 325 60 R20 - I have been running BFG's on my 3/4 Ford for years. I purchased a 2012 F250 and put these tires on. I added a 4-inch block in the back and a 2.5-inch coil spacer in the front. I have rotated every oil change at 5k each time. Meticulously watched tire pressure weekly. After only 23k miles, they are almost bald. I will never run BFG's in the future and will be going with Toyo M/T and give them a try. I don't really need aggressive tires but live on a ranch in East Texas where oftentimes getting out in the pasture to load a trailer or tractor is a must. Writing this to save others from the headache.

We bought the tires at Sam's Club. These tires were quiet for the first 6 months. At 18 months and 15000 miles later... they are 4 cupped and very noisy. Alignment is right on. Rotated every 5000 miles. The tread wear is still about 1/2 of original. This means defective tires. Sounds like a big truck with snow tires. Is there a recall?

I Had 7 B.f. Goodrich 225-75-R16 commercial TA all season tires including the spare on my motor home. The tires have 4000 miles on them. 5 of the 7 tires all had the tread separate, 1 blew out. These tires are terrible and B.f. Goodrich doesn't seem to care that they are putting peoples lives at risk with their shoddy tires. Michelin owns Goodrich and I have had problems with them before. My dodge truck came with Michelins on it and at 30000 miles the tread was still good but the sidewalls were so cracked I had to replace them. Michelin offered me 20 dollars per tire refund if I put more Michelins on my truck. I did not put more of their junk tires on my truck.

I have these on my Tacoma. Bought them from Sam's, and rotate them regularly. They started cupping noticeably at about 25k miles. I went and had my alignment checked and it was perfect. Shocks also in good shape. The truck shakes every time I stop, and now it is unbearable. I'm going to get Firestone AT tires today, no more BFG in my future.

We bought BFG Long Trail 265 X 70 - R17 tires for my wife's Yukon about 12,000 miles ago. They already have the same tread wear at 12,000 miles as my PREVIOUS tires did at 55,000 miles. They need to change the name to "SHORT TRAIL". What a rip off! I do NOT recommend buying BFG tires. It will be like throwing your money in the toilet.

We put a set of BF Goodrich tires on my wife's 2006 Chevy Equinox @ 50,000 miles. The factory Goodyears were just down to the wear bars which is when I always replace tires. We bought them at Larry's Tires on Powerline Rd in Fort Lauderdale. The car has 74000 miles on it and these tires are past the wear bars. We have performed alignments as needed and rotations regularly. 24,000 miles? Really? For $800 worth of tires? Also, as soon as they started wearing, the noise in the car is unbearable. We never had road noise with the OEM Goodyears. We will never use BF Goodrich again.

Bought a very expensive set of tires and rotated them more than required. Tires only lasted 20,000 miles, I called BF GOODRICH and was told they would do nothing about the issue. Poor tires, Poor customer service.

On January 15th 2014 I was coming from visiting my family in New Orleans, where I recently lived, and while driving down I-10 my tire blew out and caused my truck to flip, with me and my daughter inside. You wouldn't believe the fright this had on myself as well as my daughter who was being tossed around the back, and being cut on her foot and legs from the glass shattering. When it was over two 18 wheeler drivers ran to my rescue to make sure we were okay. One guy instantly called the police, he had to leave because he was drive a hazmat truck and didn't want to cause problems being parked on the side of the road, and the other stood by my side.

I've been running my trucks on these tires since 1982 and always thought they were the best. Things changed in Jan. 2014. While driving my Chevy Silverado 2500 HD in the fast lane about 65mph on the I-5 freeway about 10:00 am in Oceanside without warning I heard a sudden explosion and knew immediately my passenger side rear tire had blown. All I could do was stop in the middle shoulder. Once I got out of the truck and checked out the tire, I found that the complete tread had came off the tire and destroyed the complete side of the truck bed from the front of the bed to the rear. It ripped out the support bracket, dented the front section then came back and crushed the wheel well behind the tire, damaged the exhaust pipe, bent out the bumper and punctured the light casing. It also ripped off the wheel well plastic casing.

Accurate statement! BF Goodrich tire 225/50R17 94V, 72341. This tire blew out on the highway nearly killing me and my wife! Thank God I was going slow. The side wall has a torn out section from the inside out! Nice Job BF Goodrich!

I bought a used 2006 Honda Accord with P205/60R16's. Since I wasn't the original owner, I don't know how many miles the tires had on them, but there was plenty of tread left and was a factor in my choosing that particular car. Two years and only 7,000 miles later, I have to buy new tires. I took it into the dealer today for a check-up prior to a 1,800 mile trip. As they were airing up the tires, they discovered 3 of 4 tires had tread separation from the sidewall and recommended I replace them before the trip as they were susceptible to blowouts - not good when driving 75 mph. Since I'm not the original buyer, I can't take the problem to the tire seller or BFG. Now I have an unplanned $600+ expense and certainly feel I didn't get what I paid for when buying the car. You can bet after reading other stories on here, I sure won't be replacing them with BFG brand. Feel lucky to have not suffered a wreck, auto body damage or being stranded in the middle of nowhere on the interstate.

I bought a set of BFG g-force sport tires (245/45ZR17 95W) in Costco for my 2007 Mercedez-Benz E-350 in 2010. After I drove 23300 miles over the 3+ years, the tires wore out (and failed the state safety inspection). Plus, over the last year or so, the tires become very noisy.

I bought a set of BFG tires from Walmart Express. Was told they were great tires. Within a few months, I noticed a weak spot in the side wall of one of the tires. I went back to Walmart and was told I must have hit something. You can truly see nothing was hit, no marks in the rubber or tread. I took to another tire shop and paid to have it dismounted and checked. I was told in writing that the sidewall had a weak spot and I was in danger of a blow out. It is an ongoing problem with these tires.

Purchased a set of BFGoodrich all terrains for my Chevy 2500 HD after the crappy Pirelli tires only got 20,000 miles on them. Happy to say that after 5 years and 70,000 miles my BFGoodrich tires are still holding up strong and look good. From now on I’ll only buy American made BFGoodrich tires. Not them Japanese tires that don’t last.

I purchased a set of 4 BF Goodrich Advantage T tires for a Toyota Solara XLE (mileage: 54,196) on September 1, 2010 from Aspen Tire in Wilmington, North Carolina. The original tires (Yokohama) on the car had over 54,000 miles on them. The Dealer at Aspen Tire recommended the BF Goodrich tires and stated I would get at least 60,000 miles on them with proper care and rotation (which I am a stickler for).

After I had the blow out on my GMC HD pickup, I checked the tires on my Silveroda. I just put set of BFG all terrain tires on it a year ago. Every one of the tires is cracked around the side walls. I have used BFG tires on all my trucks for years. Now I have two sets that I have last bought that are bad. Waiting to hear from them to see if they are making them good. I won’t be buying another set.

I have a 2500 HD GMC with BFG all terrain T/A KO tires. I was driving down the interstate when I heard a loud noise and I had to fight truck to keep from losing control. I came to a stop. I got out of truck and walked to rear of truck. Rear tire on passenger side had the whole tread missing and tire was still inflated. Had severe damage to side of my truck.

I bought a set of BFGoodrich tires in 2011. Two years later, I notice they have been cracking. I told a co-worker about my tires and she asked me if I checked the date on the tires so I did and the date is 3210 which is August 2010. So I called BF Goodrich and explained the problem that I'm having with the tires and they told me to take the car to Sears and let them check the tires and they will give me credit for the the tread amount on the tires but when I arrived at Sears, I was told that they cannot give me credit because I did not buy my tires from them, so I ended up purchasing tires from Sears. When I called BF Goodrich back they rudely told me that nothing can be done because I purchased new tires. I think a class action lawsuit should be filed against BF Goodrich.

I have a set of BFG Mud Terrain KM2s on my 2007 F150. These are the second set I have put on my truck. I put these tires on at 59,000 miles in 2008. Today, my truck has 167,000 miles, which is way more miles than they're expected to last. The only reason I'm replacing them is because one of them had a blowout. My third set of tires will be...you guessed it: BFG Mud Terrain KM2s. Thanks, BFGoodrich, for a great product.

I purchased 4 New BF Goodrich Tires P275/60R17 110T LongTrail TA at my local dealer in the Raleigh area of North Carolina. At the time of purchase, the mechanic said I need a wheel alignment, which I okayed to do. Tires then installed. 5000 miles later I noticed excessive wear on the front tires, right along the outside edge, so I had them rotated. Now at 8000 miles the tires that were rotated to the front show that same excessive wear pattern. I went back to the dealer who sold me the tires and confronted them about the tire problem. Their excuse was I needed a wheel alignment. I showed them the original billing that I got from them, showing where they aligned it. Answer was it probably needs another alignment. So this time I went to a friend who does this type of work. He checked the alignment and he said it was spot on, no problem, also including it looks like the tires are failing. Back to the dealer, nope they said nothing wrong with their tires.

Radial Long Trail T/A - I'm on my second set. First set went bad within a year, cracking around sidewalls. B.F. Goodrich sent me a new set at no cost to me. My second set is two years old and sidewalls are cracking. This time I will take the loss so as not to put their product back on my truck.

On 3/27/13, I had a slow leak on a 205/70 R15 BFG LongTrail (rear left). I switched out that tire with the full size spare. Granted that I just purchased this used vehicle and the spare looked to be in very well condition, had the proper inflation to specs, properly stored with tire cover, installed and checked at a tire shop. While driving at below posted speeds on highway 60-65 mph (flat surface) less than 30 miles on it, there was a violent shudder and I immediately knew something was not right. I don’t know how I managed to retain control of the vehicle as it felt like the axle broke, with very hard thumping and whacking noises. When I was finally able to come to a safe stop, I went out to look at what happened. The whole rear left of my car was bent and torn to pieces, including the trim, running board, and rear bumper, torn wiring, along with numerous dents and rubber marks.

I purchased a set of Goodrich tires from TreadQuarters for my 2004 Pilot. Less than half the way into the 60,000-mile "warranty" and two years from purchase, they failed. What had been a smooth, quiet ride turned into a bumpy, noisy nightmare. TreadQuarters claimed no responsibility and informed me the tires were cupped probably due to incorrect inflation or alignment. When I bought the tires, I had an alignment done, and I regularly rotated/had tire pressure checked at 7,500 miles with my normal dealer service. I might be able to understand one tire being cupped due to this kind of problem but all four - I don't think so. Goodrich offered a 25% warranty, but I am not about to reward TreadQuarters or BF Goodrich with another tire purchase ever again. Both sets of tires previously on the vehicle (Firestone) outlasted the 60,000-mile warranty period. Direct contact with BF Goodrich resulted in the same disclaimer - "not our fault", read the small print.

We bought the Goodrich Long Tour Tires (4) in 2009 from Sam’s Club. As of today, when we took our vehicle to the Kia place to have them rotated and balanced, they told us they could not do it because they were separating as if they were recaps and looked as if they were dry rotting. They were all doing this where the tread meets the dry wall. We are disabled and this is our only means of transportation. We are now afraid of driving our vehicle. We only had 22,000 miles on these tires and the vehicle has been garage kept. We were told by Sam’s Club techs that this is normal wear and tear. We don't think so. This is very scary and Goodrich needs to do something about this defect.

I bought 4 Goodrich Longtrail TA 60,000 miles tires for my Nissan SUV X-Terra; 2 tires which I bought from Tire Kingdom on 1/3/11 when my vehicle mileage was 131,050 and 2 tires which I bought 9 days later from Firestone on 1/12/11 when my vehicle mileage was 131,190 (I have both receipts). I live in St. Petersburg, Florida and bought the tires at above local establishments (2 at Firestone on 49th Street North in Pinellas Park, and 2 at Tire Kingdom on Tyrone Blvd). While cleaning my car and washing the tires on 1/18/2013, I noticed that the driver's front tire is cracking where the tread meets the sidewall. I am very concerned for my life and that of any passengers, since this should not be happening to tires that are just 2 years old. My auto mileage as of 1/20/2013 is 142,343. This means in two years since I bought these tires, I have traveled only 11,293 miles. I am now concerned for my life and that of any passengers with these Goodrich manufacturer defective tires.

Just wanted to tell everyone out there that if you're shopping for quality tires, when it comes to BF Goodrich, you better shop elsewhere. I don't go around badmouthing products, but these tires are junk. I have a 2008 F-350 dually with 25,800 miles on it. The sidewalls on these tires are so dry rotted you would think they were 15 years old. Still lots of tread left, but I'm afraid they will blow out. I have a set of Goodyear tires on a trailer that's been sitting around since 2005 that look a lot better than the BF Goodrich. Dear BF Goodrich, my advice to you is to put what money you got of mine for these tires on interest, because you will never get any more of my money.

I bought BF Goodrich Long Trail TR on 8/19/2010. These are 60,000 mile tread life. My truck had 215,186 miles on it. Today is 11/29/12 and last week, I had tires rotated and I was informed that I better buy new tires before the snow starts because the tread is almost gone. Well, I have only put 24,850 miles on my truck since I bought the new tires. This was my 1st time buying BF Goodrich Tires. I checked to see if a recall was issued for these tires that year but didn't see anything listed. Please reply.

I bought these tires (BF Goodrich a/t) for my wife’s Jeep Grand Cherokee 3 years ago. She puts on about 3,500 miles a year and she babies it. I bought her a new car 2 months ago and I have been driving it since. I was driving it and turned a corner a little sharp and went off the shoulder a bit. The front tire blew out and destroyed the wheel well and ripped apart the washer fluid tank. The pump also dented the front quarter panel from the flapping rubber. I looked at the rest of the tires and one has a bubble and they’re all dry rotted. Never will I buy BF Goodrich Tires again.

BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A (32 X 11.50 X 15R) - Well, there I was, in the middle of US1, in a light rain last Friday (Nov. 18th) about 5 pm coming home from work. I was driving about 35-40 mph due to traffic & the rain, crossed through a main intersection following traffic and boom! The driver side tire completely blew out. The Jeep lunged to the rear due to no air in the tire and I started to spin like a top. Luckily, everybody around me stopped or got out of the way. After I hit the curb, and the Jeep came back down on all fours, I got out to see what the heck happened. The tire looked like the tread completely separated from the sidewall, almost like a re-tread off a semi. On Sunday, Nov. 18th, I took it to Sears, because I bought them from Sam's Club and they didn't have my size in stock, and they said with 13/32's of tread left, it's definitely a manufacturer's defect. After they replaced the tire, the problem is, are they going to replace the driver's side rear rim & axle (both bent slightly, but definitely wobbling now from smacking the curb)? And my change of shorts for that matter? And what about the other 3 tires? They kind of got me scared now!

I recently purchased new tires for my son's vehicle. Our intention was to purchase only 2 new ones to replace the low tread on one and a bubble that was developing on the other front - both front. The day we purchased the tires at Sam's Club (as we've always done for years), I asked the technician to put the new tires on the front since the car is front wheel drive and would, in my opinion, give better traction and control. She advised me I would need to sign a disclosure confirming my request as they were recently trained about the effects new tires have on performance and traction. I have never heard of this but trusted her opinion after her brief explanation about the slippery effects they have due to the molding process. Stunned, I decided to take her advice and switch the back, which had at least 85% tread left and new ones to the back.

I had first set of BF Goodrich mud terrain tires and had the tire separate while going down a highway. I figured well, time for new ones. I got a new set of the same BF Goodrich mud terrain tires after 34,000 miles and still having tread and rotating them like you're supposed to. I was going down interstate last night and my 2006 Dodge dually starts to vibrate and shake, then bam. The top tread completely came off and the tire blew out. It looks just like 18-wheeler tires that are recapped and comes apart. After I attempted to call BF Goodrich for them to put me on hold and not want to deal with me, I'll never have BF Goodrich on any of my vehicles again. They need to do something before people start losing their loved ones to faulty tires!

A year and a half ago, I was driving in Washington state and had a BFG 265-70R-17 blow out on the rear of my truck, causing $2500 worth of damage. I was told by BFG (aka Michelin) that I hit something that caused the tire to blow out. The road was flat paved and clear and I was driving in light traffic at 55 mph with nothing on the road. There’s no object to hit! Then last week I was driving on I-17 North of Phoenix in the right lane at 60 mph pulling our 32' travel trailer with a lot of traffic when the left front tire thumped a couple of times and blew out. We were jerked to the left lane luckily without hitting anyone and managed to get the truck stopped with no injuries. One of the cars behind us stopped and commented on thinking I was going to roll the truck and trailer.

I have a 2007 Ram Mega Cab 4x4 that was equipped with the BF Goodrich All Terrain 265 70R 17 tires from the factory. I have had this truck since new and only have 36,000 km. on it, and I baby this vehicle. I have recently noticed that the sidewalls of my tires where the "tabs" are around the outside diameter of the tire are peeling away from the sidewall. I did "touch" the curb while parallel parking the beast; however, I did not even feel it as it was so slight, and I have noticed this issue. I am very disappointed as there are white chunks showing and it looks terrible. I have had Goodyear Wranglers on other 4x4 trucks I have had before and there was never an issue. I think that it is time to change brands.

My spouse was backpacking on mountain roads, which he has done for years with no problems. This trip, traveling solo, he had two different tires go on one trip! I repeat, he has never had a flat in years! Nissan 2010 Xterra, 11,000 miles on the vehicle, BF Goodrich long trail! Are we getting free better quality replacements?

Driving between Tatum and Roswell, NM and KM2 305/65-17 tread peels off (tire still inflated) causing a lot of excitement for a few moments. How I kept it on the road, I still don't know. Tires still have at least 45% tread, proper inflation, and kept out of sun as much as possible; and truck, as a whole, is maintained perfectly. I have used BF Goodrich tires for a long time, but this leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I cannot trust them. Too bad, consumers in this country (including me) will have to start buying Nitto (Japanese) or Toyo (Japanese) to get good quality and preserve our life and loved ones on the road.

I was driving east along Interstate 10, between Quartzsite and Phoenix in Arizona when a blow-out of the left-rear tire occurred on my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup truck. The blow-out resulted in separation of the tread from the casing causing $4,000 damage to the wheel well and bed. When BF Goodrich (Michelin) were contacted, they asked me to obtain two estimates for the vehicle repair, which I submitted to them. After their review of the failed tire, they claimed that I had hit something on the road prior to the blow-out and refused to settle all or part of the damage. I am still pursuing alternatives to compel BF Goodrich (Michelin) to assume responsibility for the premature failure of their tires.

I purchased 305/65-18 BFG all terrains for my 2012 F150 $48,000 truck with 4,000 miles. The tires need 16oz each in weights to get to balance. They are in the rear of the truck, 8oz for the fronts. I tried 2 sets of the new wheels with same result. I have had many sets of BFG all terrains in my trucks. I am 54 years old and have 5 sets that I can think of. My recent was 305/70-16 on my 2001 Ford. Anyways, I am very dissatisfied with these tires as I can feel a vibration throughout the truck. It does not vibrate with factory tires at all.

I have a classic car 1965 Chevy Chevelle SS show car with BF Goodrich tires. It was parked in my garage and had a blow out. The tread separated from side to side. I had it out about two weeks before at highway speeds and if this would have happened then, I would have done a lot of damage and possible injuries. I now do not trust the rest of the tires and will have to replace. These tires have less than 1,000 miles.

In 2008, while driving the F350 on the highway, the tread come off the tire (P265/75R16, Rugged Terrain TA) and caused extensive damage. I had to buy a tire out of town and when we returned, Discount Tire did replace it and sent it to BF Goodrich. It was not their fault. We bought 2 more of the tires, giving us a new set. In 2011, while sitting in the driveway, all the tread began to separate from a tire. Discount replaced it but said it was normal wear. In June 2012, another tire came apart sitting in the driveway. Then, while on the highway this week, another tire came apart. When you contact BF Goodrich, they do nothing! BF Goodrich says there is not a problem with this. I am concerned about even driving the truck now. None of the tires even have 20,000 miles on them.

I purchased a 2001 Nissan Xterra in February 2011. It had BF Goodrich tires on it. The dealer told me that they were brand new tires. I drive the vehicle back and forth to work. On May 31st, 2011, I was driving down the road at a speed of approximately 45 mph. The back driver's side tire detreaded like a recapture on an 18-wheeler. I ended up rolling 15 times down a 462-ft embankment. I ended up with a severe head injury, broke my left shoulder in 2 places and broke my neck. My best friend who was with me lost part of her left arm. She had several cuts to her legs. I lost my job as an EMT Basic due to this wreck. BF Goodrich will pay for all of this.

Two weeks ago, I was driving my F350 on a well-maintained secondary road at about 55 mph. Suddenly, I felt a severe vibration and before I could even start braking, I saw pieces of tire flying through the air in my rear-view mirror. After getting stopped, I saw that my left rear BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tire came apart. The tread had separated like the retreads on 18-wheelers. The tire never lost pressure. It was still fully inflated, but the tread was missing on about half the tire. The left rear fender sustained a good bit of damage from the incident. Estimated repair to the fender is about $1,000.

BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A Tires have only 20,000 and are two years old. There are cracks between the tire treads on all four tires. They are dry rotted. I took the truck to Sears where I purchased them and Sears says that it is normal wear and tear. I barely drive this truck, basically to work and back, putting only 10,000 miles a year on it. I purchased the tires with a 60,000 mile warranty so that I would not have to purchase tires again and it looks like I will have to anyway.

While driving from El Paso, Texas to Van Horn, Texas, I had a blow out on one of my tires (LT245 75R 17 BF Goodrich M/T KM2 10pr) on the back of my 2008 Dully. It did some damage to the left rear inside fender. My deductible on my insurance was $495 and to top it all off, Tire Club Wholesale did not want to warranty my tire. I purchased my tires on 10/23/10 and the blow out happened on 4/20/12.

Sorry to say that BF Goodrich has just lost another customer. I have gone through 6 sets of BF tires (4 all terrains sets and 2 mud terrain sets). Out of these 6 sets, 2 all terrain sets, 1 mud terrain set and 1 km2 mud terrain set, each lost one tire from separation. What is more discouraging is that the load range class went from D to E on the last set I purchased, the km2 mud terrains, and the tire only lasted 9,000 miles. As far as the material they are using, it is way softer and wears down faster than the older sets. Times are getting tougher and I have to find a more dependable tire to last.

I have a set of BF Goodrich KM2 Mud Terrain tires on my 2007 Power Wagon. They have about 30,000 miles on them and I'm now worried if I can even make the drive back home from work. I just noticed a big bulge in the tread where it seems the tread is separating from the rest of the tire. A few months ago, I noticed cracking on the side walls and in the treads.

2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. These tires are absolutely horrible. Can I trade them in for a quieter riding tire with the same capability?

I am a first-time car buyer in Singapore. I have a Hyundai Getz, changed my tires through BF Goodrich, but to my surprise, the tires are not working well on wet conditions. I had two lives since there were no cars in the front, even when speeding at 60kph the car skids to 3 to 4 motors. I would like to get a solution from Goodrich.

I have had BF Goodrich Revelation Touring Tires on my car for less than 20,000 and three out of the four tires in less than six weeks have gone flat due to a faulty valve stem. I have gone to Sears to have two replaced and now have to go for a third and I will have them replace the fourth. This is absolutely ridiculous. I plan on writing a letter to the Attorney General as well as the Better Business Bureau regarding this matter.

I purchased four BFGoodrich tires at Sears. After using 10,000 miles, a few side cracks appeared on one of the front tires. I brought the car to Sears and a sales representative claims that it is a normal wear and tear that he cannot do nothing about. But the crack gets bigger and longer. I sent an email to BFGoodrich customer service explaining about the crack. Without seeing the crack, he claimed that it is normal wear and tear. He cannot do anything about it. I told him that I am driving cars more than 30 years and have never experienced a normal wear and tear like this. This is my first time using BFGoodrich tires.

The tread came apart. It was separated from tire. The side wall and remainder of tire stayed in tack. The tire maintained inflation. I noticed flat spotting and bulging of tread on the other front tire today. It appears that this tire is coming apart also.

I purchased a 2007 Toyota Tundra from Kent Brown Toyota in Elmira, NY in the fall of 2007. The next year, I had 18,000 miles on my truck and had to get it inspected. It failed due to dry rot in between the tire tread lugs. I talked to my local dealership (Williams Toyota) and they prorated the tires (BF Goodrich /27565R18)

I have a 2006 Wrangler that had 33" BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires on it. I have found out that the tires were 5-6 years old but they had over 75% of their tread left. They still looked like good, almost new tires. Around 5 months ago, I took them off a 73 CJ5 that I had in the garage that I bought 2 years ago which what looked like it had almost new tires on them, to put on my 06 Wrangler.

My tire blew out and the side wall got destroyed. I was driving an '06 Tacoma with brand new BF Goodrich km2 tires. I had the tires for less than a week, and got them installed at Allen Tires in Downey, California. It was 6:00 a.m, and I traveled at 70 mph along I-15 Southbound. The car attained minor damage to the right rear fender. The cause was that something punctured the tire and blew out. Well, I don't believe it. This is an off-road tire, designed for extreme use and should be highly puncture-resistant.

My 2004 explorer had a blow out on i4. Rear left, the tire disintegrated going about 55mph. The damage is about 400.00 dollars. I checked the other tires and they have started to crack all around the outer side. The tires are about 3 years old and has as much tread as a new tire. The trail huggers are defected and no one wants to here that the over priced tire is garbage.

I have had two BF Goodrich tires on my F350 truck to come apart. At 14,000 miles, the tread separated on the first tire, then, at 15,000 miles, the tread separated on a second tire. The shredded tire beat my truck up badly. It broke the spoiler, broke the side step, and banged up and dented the quarter panel. BF Goodrich said that I had to take it to a dealer and let the dealer call them. I did, and the poor guy had to stay on the phone with them forever. The bottom line is that BF Goodrich will not pay for any repairs to the truck. I will not be using their tires again.

I have run BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain tires on 8 different 4x4 trucks over the last 20 years. I bragged to all my friends about the mileage I got as well as the raw digging ability. Don't get me wrong, I don't go mud bogging. But when I go hunting, I want to get out of the woods.

I own a 2004 Ford Excursion LTD with BFG Rugged Trail OWL P265-75x16 tires. The outside sidewall showed cracking around the rim. I always maintained correct pressure (50-55psi). I brought it to the attention of the dealer and was told that it was not a safety issue. I had 59,000 miles on tires and at least 60% tread left.

We purchased 4 BFG Radial T/A tires from Summit Racing and they only have 10,000 miles on them and they have started to bulge in the tread area and they are cupping. When riding down the road, it feels like a jumping feeling; it's gotten so bad and the cupping has went as far as where it makes a roaring noise.

I have a set of BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires. The sidewalls are cracking badly on them. One tire started this a long time ago, but I thought I hit a curb or something to damage the sidewall. But now all 4 are doing the same thing. I will be contacting Goodrich to see if I can get them to cover something on a new set. I have never seen this on any pair of tires before.

I have a set of BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires with 25,000 miles, and the sidewalls are cracking. They told me, it wasn't a safety issue, but I spent $850.00 for these tires, and they won't help me. They said all they could do is give 60% off a new set. Me and my wife are a low income household, with 3 kids, and we cant afford to buy these tires again, and my opinion is even if it isn't a safety issue, the tires have a defect, and should be replaced .

I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup that all four tires are cracking and peeling on the side walls. The tires are the BF Goodrich Rugged trail. This truck has very low mileage and I have kept the proper air pressure in them. The Dodge dealership told me to contact a tire dealership, but I want to know why this is happening and these tires look terrible. I pull a 5th wheel trailer with my truck and I don't need a blowout. I believe the tires should be replaced and I don't think I, as the consumer, have gotten the life out of the tires that I should have.

I am currently having a reoccurring problem with sidewall cracking on the second set of BF Goodrich Rugged Trail LT265/70R17 Tires on my 2003 Dodge Ram 3500. About 3 years ago, I had all 4 tires replaced due to the same issue. I have noted that there appears to be an issue with the same tires, and need some assistance in getting this resolved.

I purchased a set of BFG Gforce super sports. I have always maintained proper tire pressure and rotation on these tires. After just 9000 miles, they need to be replaced. BF Goodrich will not make right on these tires. I have been buying BFG tires for 20 yrs now and will never purchase another set nor will I recommend them to anyone. They are poorly designed and the BF Goodrich warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on. They claim irregular wear pattern. Well, duh, who would return tires if you were not having irregular wear? They are rated for 50,000 miles and I only got 9000 out of them.

I installed 4 BF Goodrich tires. After only about 7 miles, a tire blew. I installed a spare, and another tire blew 1 mile later. I had car trailed in. I broke down the other 2 tires to examine the beads for damage. No damage was found. I drove the car about 12 miles when another tire started bumping. I got out to look at the tire, and there was a large bulge in the sidewall.

I purchased 4 new B.F. Goodrich All Terrain T/A radial truck tires, and have 5,000 miles on them. The sidewalls are cracking around the bead. I have maintained correct pressure (65 psi), and do not drive this vehicle during winters. The dealer put in a claim to B.F Goodrich/Michelin, and they want nearly $400 to replace them, even when their tread-wear gauge hardly shows any wear! These tires had to be defective out of production, and with this kind of support, I will not buy anymore tires from any of the French owned Michelin line of tires. Cracking tire sidewalls can lead to tire failure, and are therefore dangerous.

I purchased a 2003 Mercury Marauder in 10/2003. I am told the only tire that fits my vehicle is made by BF Goodrich. I am extremely unhappy with these tires and concerned with my safety in having no other choice in tires. I want to register a complaint before someone has a tire blow up and is hurt or killed or hurts or kills someone else. Here is the history of my tires that have either gone flat or literally blown up:

We purchased a new used car in 2006. It is now 2009 and we have had to change the tires on our car for 3 times since we purchased it. We even changed the shocks on it in December 2008, thinking maybe they need changing. Why else are we needing our second set of tires so soon? When we had this done in December, the BF Goodrich company paid for only the tires. Then in January 2009, my husband was driving to work on a main road and the right rear tire blew out on him. BF Goodrich blamed it on road hazard and we had to pay half for the tire. Here it is August and we had taken it in due to the rear tires being worn to needing immediate changing.

I started replacing my original Michelin tires in the Spring of '08. I went with the BF Goodrich Super Sport for my car. Within 4 months, three of those tires blew. The whole sidewall caved. I bought two more and the same thing happened within a year's time. This happened to five of the brand new tires that I purchased. I contacted Discount Tires where they were bought brand new and got the run around. By the 2nd blow-out, I asked them to send the tire in to be examined. They failed to do so. They never sent any in to be examined. I paid almost $200 for each tire and they were acting like this was nothing. They were cheaper than the Michelin replacements, but still a mid-grade for my car. I asked to trade those in and contacted Goodrich. I was told that I would be contacted by one of the VPs, but I wasn't. I wanted reimbursement for the full cost of each and I wanted a different replacement. Discount Tires decided to go to a Goodyear for the replacement, but not any other brand. I requested to look at other tires for my vehicle, but they refused in that store.

In the spring of 2004, I bought a set of bf goodrich tires at Costco for my PT Cruiser. For the first few years there were no problems. Now I have had 3 tires with issues in the last 5 months. The sides of tires are cracking and losing air. I am not diving on flat tires and only put about 6000 miles on the tires per year.

I own a '97 Chevy Suburban. Last week I had all new tires put on the car, P245 75R16 (Long Trail B/W) because my daughter and son-in-law planned to use my Suburban to drive down to Florida from NY with my 5 grandchildren. I wanted the car to give them no problems and be safe for their trip.

I have a set of bf Goodrich 265/75r16 long trail tires on my truck. There is about 90 percent wear remaining. They do not have 10,000 klm on them. One has a large bulge on the sidewall near the top of the tire. The dealer will not prorate the tire. He has ordered me a new one. I have been told it will cost me $229 plus taxes mounted and balanced. The tire is faulty, it is an obvious factory defect. I have heard of this defect with this brand of product before. What does warranty mean if the supplier will not back the warranty? If the representative will not back the product? I was left to drive home on the freeway. I will need to return next Wednesday to pay for the replacement, once more driving on the Freeway. The tire shop is about 30 klm away from my home. I fail to understand.

I had to replace a BF Goodrich 17 inch tire (P45/65R17) due to thumping noise on my Ford Explorer. Last time that occurred, it was a bad tire. I returned the next day to have new tire checked. Turns out the new tire is about 1 1/2 inch smaller in circumference than original tires on the Explorer. I was told I had to buy all new tires x 5 (4 on ground and spare) any time I replaced a tire. I have 4x4 auto where system did not recognize the smaller tire and was told it would probably burn out my transmission/transfer case. I told them I was not satisfied with tire, to remove it and give me something in writing that they owed me a tire. Instead, I spent about 3 1/2 hours while they discussed what to do. Currently, they have 1st new tire on front left and a 2nd new tire on back right. All new BF Goodrich tires measure smaller circumference than original tire circumferences. They had 4 on hand. Another Explorer was having a new transmission installed because he did not replace all tires when one was replaced. I had no problems with single tire replacement over last two years and now I do.

While driving on the Florida Turnpike at interstate speed, the left front tire separated while doing 70 mph. The tires were meticulously maintained and rotated every 7500 miles. The tires were B.F. Goodrich LT 265/75R16.

I have a 2005 Nissan Xterra that came factory equipped with B.F. Goodrich Long Trail T/A tires. I have to date (at 20K miles) experienced a blowout that of course cannot be proven to be the result of defect and have logded multiple complaints regarding the wear on these tires. I currently have 28K miles on the vehicle and tires and they are ready to be replaced due to excessive wear.
