Put a set of these (225/55R17 101W) on a Holden Adventra, have only done a few thousand kilometers so far but initial impressions are very good. They were the cheapest option of the real tyre brands and with BF Goodrich being part of Michelin I figured they should be a decent tyre. They have plenty of tread and full depth sipes which should help keep wet braking performance as they wear down. They feel plush/comfortable to drive on and I haven't had issues with traction in the dry or wet but keep in mind being driven on public roads and being an AWD car they haven't gotten anywhere near the limit. Noise levels are good, oddly I'd say they are quieter than average on smooth surfaces but slightly louder than average on coarse surfaces, by no means 'noisey' though. Fuel economy is about the same as the tyres they replaced (a combined set of Zetum and Rapid tyres approx 50% worn). Early days so cannot comment on treadwear, but the rating is 600. I was a little surpised that the UTQG traction rating is a 'B' but I'm not sure how much this means. Based on the performance I've seen to date I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again, but in reality would probably try something different just for the sake of variety.
