At this time, these tires are quite good. Still with very little visible tread wear, they have however started to develop a hum(road noise). I find buying tires is mostly a personal preference, do you want comfort, low noise and the usual tread wear issues. IE: normal driver does 40-50k in 4-5 years I would shop for suv/cuv rubber. I’ve used Michelin, Continental, Cooper, Sumitomo and Toyo tread wear was about the same except the Toyo’s wore out first. These BFG’s wear very well yes they are Getting louder not oh my god what’s wrong loud just noticeable. Very little handling difference, that’s more a byproduct of the car than the tire. For normal mileage and usage I was impressed with the Sumitomo’s good wear, and great traction in all conditions. I am very impressed so far with these BFG’s, it’s my first time using an LT tire on one of these grocery grabbers. The tread wear is the most impressive trait, predictable handling, solid traction on everything but glare ice. I drive a lot, so I think I would throw in with these (BFG) at this time, biggest reason, if I could get 70k+ miles out of them that’s a huge bonus, two sets of tires in 4years instead of 3. Of course these are my opinions and your results may differ, best regards, Keith
