BF Goodrich Comp T/A HR4

So, far the tire has performed well on my 98 Ford F-150 STX. I use to have Good year GT2. My comp T\As has out performed this tire in every categorie. My tire size was 275\60\R17.

Summary:
After winter hit i relized what a great tire the HR4's are. The treads are good for winter driveing (dont know how some one from virginia can rate a snow tire) I live in minnesota and these delt with 6 plus inches of snow and ice just fine. Heck, in Virginia, the state would close if that happened. Wear is great so far, no change in tread depth through the first rotation. Took the rough winter roads (in case you didnt know, the roads in minnesota buckle a lot in winter) with out and problems bulging or other issues. Over all a wonderful tire.

Strengths:
Winter traction, wet traction, good tread for rain.

Weaknesses:
Too hard a compound, hard time feeling them stick in cold weather.

Summary:
First thing I found out when these were mounted was that one tire had a bubble defect in it. It blew out while on the highway in 100 degree heat. They are not as sticky as the Dunlops I replaced, but can be pushed harder before they squeal. I'm replacing all of them with Dunlops well before their tread life has expired simply because these are road hazard magnets. Something to do with the tread pattern helps pick up nails and puncture the tire. I've had two tires replaced because the puncture was so severe that it couldn't be fixed. So that leaves one original out of the set that I bought.

Strengths:
Nice ride

Weaknesses:
Poor quality, defects
