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.

Replaced a set of Pirellis. These tires were so bad, I purposely forgot the model. These are a big improvement.

Strength:

wet traction, touring tire class performance (almost!),
ride improvements from previous tires.
Price was good too.

Weakness:

Noise! the large blocks that make up the sides of the tread
cause a humming noise at speed, mostly when pressed into a
corner. this may be my setup, but I'd think they'll still be
louder than michelins or others.

These tires ,size 205/65/r15, replaced my old BFG radial t/a
tires on my toyota tacoma truck. They are much quieter now
after 20,000+ miles. I might go with another tire for the
price. Purchased early 99 from Johnston Tire & Wheel.
I paid $330 approximately, my tire dealer is known for their
reliable & knowledgeable service at a decent price, maybe
not the greatest prices.

Similar Products Used:

replaced BF Goodrich Radial T/A, only improvements are the
wet traction and ride.

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!

Having to deal with dumb mechanics at Firestone to have them balanced,, They are down right STUPID

All in all great deal exept for the customer service at Firestone! I usually have to bring my car back to make them balance the wheels right.

Matt

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.
