Summary:
This is year 5 with the same tires, 133,000 miles. Talk about a deal. They are starting to dry rot, so it is time to replace. I have them checked every time I have service, and the technicians have been shocked by the mileage and great shape of tires.

Strengths:
No problems and 5 years!

Summary:
Had a choice between these and same size, same price Goodyears. I've been a Goodyear guy for years, but was less than pleased with tires on Toyota. The Goodrich Long Trail totally blew away the Goodyears! Much smoother quieter ride. Much better on wet road! Actually getting better gas mileage, nice bonus! Sorry Goodyear, Goodrich gotcha beat with this tire!

Summary:
When I purchased my new vehicle it came with the B F Goodrich Longtrails as standard equipment. From the beginning I noticed that the tires would break loose from the pavement fairly easily with moderate acceleration. The F150 has a v8 Triton and relatively low body weight with no load, so at first I thought perhaps it was just an adjustment to be made on my part. However in the intervening years it has become a real annoyance dealing with these tires. In even a light rain they have little traction and the rear tends to slide. They have always been loud and mywife has never enjoyed riding in my vehicle due to the bouncy ride. Turning corners in either direction at low speeds has always been accompanied by a loud squeal. I keep the tires inflated properly and tipically drive 30 miles a day half of wich is highway driving. The tires are now 38,000 miles old. The two fronts have developed separated belts and the two rears are now less than 5mm of tread. While I feel I should have had a bit more life out of them, I am far more dissatisfied with the performance I received while they lasted.I have just replaced them with a competitors product and am already pleased that all the above issues seem to be resolved.

Strengths:
38,000 miles?

Weaknesses:
High noise, Low traction

2004 BF Goodrich Long Trail TA

Summary:
Bought with a 1997 Toyota T 100 4x4 1/2 ton truck in DEC 03' 69k on tires now and 3/4ths tread left will easily make 100K. Even wear on all 4 (pretty good on a 4x4) only rotated 4 times since owned. Great in all weather conditions from Highway to 2-tracks. For those of you unlucky to drive the roads in MI after a tough winter you know how terribly rough the the roads can be. Best tire I have had yet, there are probably better tires, but very few that provide such a value for all around, all season use...

Strengths:
Decent noise level. Great treadware, good grip in all conditions. (110in of snow this year)

Weaknesses:
None that I have found...an occasional stone in tread after travelling gravel roads, but not really an issue...

Weaknesses:
A little noisier than a smoother street tire, but worth it if you live in snow country.
