Strength:
Price, one of few white letter tires available in a 60 series.
Weakness:
Alot of negative reviews about the Futura tires. keep in mind anything over 5 years old should be replaced. Budget price tire soft side wall. Any used tire or tire 5 years or older may fail at any time, especially if out doors!
Similar Products Used: Just bought a small S-10 truck and it had 3 different types of tire, with plugs etc, wanted a new set for piece of mind. |

Weakness:
cheap I bought futura touring radials years ago for an old car I drove once a month or less. The tires were several years old but had less then 7500 miles on them. All four bubbled under the tread or seperated. The last tire I had to change looked brand new but I guess it should since the treadwear was 560. However it was no longer round.

They are black!!
Weakness:
You put them on a car. I bought 4 of these tires for my 2005 impala, which my wife drives with mt children as passengers. 3 of the 4 tires suffered catastrophic failure with more than half of the treadlife left.

235/55/16 Futura GLS tires
Strength:
Good below 30K miles, they are cost effective compared to others.
Weakness:
After 30K Miles they go away and in a Camaro that handles well, it is very pronounced. Also, I live in the North East and it seems that these tires do not like the cold, especially cold and wet weather. Tires had less than 20,000 miles when I bought my 2000 Camaro V6 Coupe. I have put 13,000 miles on the car/tire in one year. Tires felt and drove great until they went over 30,000 then they fell off drastically. Wet traction, ride, feel, the cold and/or hot weather really have a different effect on these tires. In the heat they feel and are have good handling, in the cold they ride and feel terrible. Now that they have over 30,000 miles the rear traction has gone away tremendously from a standing start. I have not pushed them in the wet because I like my Camaro too much to trust the tires now. The strange thing about them is this; they don’t build that much air pressure even after highway driving @ 65 or 70. Normally a tire will build a couple of pounds of pressure, these don't? If you run them at 30 PSI cold and go on a long highway trip your actually wearing them out! Similar Products Used: I have 4 cars and I have used every type of Goodyear, Bridgestone, I hate Dunlop tires, they are worse. Goodyear has a good tire most types, it is to bad they are such a rip off with their prices. |

Weakness:
Not much grip after 30K miles, especially in rain I am on my second set of these tires. Really good grip when under 30k miles. In winter of 2003 I was able to drive to work on ICE. I was able to get about 50K miles on a set with spirited driving Similar Products Used: BF Goodrich TA radials |

Strength:
Extremely long tread life.
Weakness:
Wet weather traction. I bought these tires because of the price. On dry pavement the were great. Wet or snow, they sucked ...but I got 70000 miles out of them, and probably could've gotten 20000 more. I never once had to put air in them. We would joke about them being solid rubber throughout. Good tire for the money. Similar Products Used: BFG Comp T/A (fast wearing tires)
