Strength:
I have a 93 Toyota Camry LE and these tires stop well in dry or wet, fairly quiet on highway, pretty good handling.
Weakness:
None that I can think of at present. I think Bridgestone makes a pretty good tire for the price, thought about going with Michelin X-1s, but would have spent about $25 more per tire. I also just bought a set of Firestone FT70C's (highly rated by Consumer Reports)for my 92 GMC truck, and I am extremely satisfied with them, although there are a lot of Firestone's out there which are just not worth the money. Since I don't see any reviews on the FT70Cs, I am going to review them next. Similar Products Used: BT70s replaced Bridgestone Turanza S (touring tires)...Turanza's were a bit quieter and lasted almost 60,000 miles, but caught a lot of nails and at least 4 or 5 flats (soft tires)...hope the BT70s last as long without the flats. |

Strength:
Wet traction, handling, noise level (while cruising down the freeway).
Weakness:
A little noisy when cornering. I paid $269 for a set of 4 (175/70/13). For the time I've had them, I have no major complaints. I think the noise while cornering my go away in time. But I really like how they handle in wet weather. We tend to get a lot of rain here, and wet traction was a big concern for me. These tires more than meet the demand. Overall, not a bad tire at all. Similar Products Used: Replaced a set of Pirellis. These tires were so bad, I purposely forgot the model. These are a big improvement. |

Strength:
Excellent wet traction, very good dry traction, good value for the performance. 30 day trial period to return the tires.
Weakness:
None for me. Paid $290.00 installed. These tires merit serious consideration if wet traction is a priorty. Similar Products Used: Replaced Bridgestone F411's on 1997 Subaru Wgn AWD and noise factor is apx same but the traction/safety improved tremendously over the previous tires. |

Strength:
Wet traction
Weakness:
Mileage? Entirely agree with Matt...these are the best wet traction tires I've ever used. Installed them on my C-RV and they've never slipped once in 5,000 miles of highway driving like the B Fs used to. My only gripe is I think my MPGs took a slight hit but the increased traction is worth it...as long as gas prices don't go up too much more! Similar Products Used: B F Goodrich |

Strength:
Wet weather traction I replaced the Turanza T's that were on my Celica when I bought it with BT70s. The BT70s are great in the wet. The Turanza's would spin in the wet on my 103hp FWD a/t car. The BT70s don't have a problem, and handle very well for a non performance tire. If you need wet traciton, these are great. Similar Products Used: Bridgestone Turanza T |
