Fiat Scudo combi van
(215/60 R16)
on a combination of roads
for 20,000 easy going miles
Placed front and rear onto Fiat Scudo Passenger carrying LWB about 1 year apart. No rear seats but used for light load carrying. Three years and 20,000 miles down to 2mm. Sensible driving speeds. Nothing bad about these tyres and no unique defining situations wet or dry. Pity my vehicle can only range 40-45mpg, sometimes 47mpg on long runs but Vehicle Reviews seem to match...so which tyre does everyone use to improve?. Its a car tyre not a van tyre and I largely use it as a car. Possibly buy again but maybe one with better Reviewed Wet Weather Performance...just in case

These tyres came fitted to my car when I purchased it. They were approximately 50% worn and were 2 years old. I managed another 2 years and 25,000 miles driving before they were done. The side wall was quite soft and althought at the end of life the side wall developed a buldge due to low tyre pressure, the tyre didn't fail or blow out. Grip was generally adequate wet and dry, although feedback and handling did not inspire confidence. Switched to Contiental Sport Contact 3 SSR and the handling is much improved.

These tires are 6.7mm tread depth, Treadwear Traction A, Temperature A
Got a set of 4 at a promotional price, 215 euros for a set of four, balanced, new valves. If you ask me this is the best value for money tires I have ever bought, because the performance is that of a premium manufacturer.
Dry and wet grip are very very good, no surprises, no unexpected performance under all conditions whatsoever.
Feedback and handling is ok for your every day needs. Wear is really good, too. They lose 0.5mm of tread in 10.000km.
Straight aqua is great as expected with lots of feedback before things get out of hand.
A special mention goes to noise. These tires have by far the most quiet rubber compound I have ever seen. The noise reaching your ears in the cabin is as if it has been filtered by two layers of noise insulation material. To put it differently, for me they set the standard for noise comparison against the other manufacturers.
I would buy them again and again and again and recommend them each time.

Very quite and comfortable ride. Very good wet and dry handling. The only minus is the soft sidewalls. I don't know how they will handle the holes on the Greek roads. I would buy them again but on the XL ( extra load) version.

Low noise tyre . I pressed the car in the wet to discover its reaction (before had the E150 Bridgestone on , very durable and reliable tyre ,but noisy) and the car behaved very well . Very decent tyre . The price is very reasonable . So far, very satisfied .

I am already using these tires for about 2 years.
I have already done about 60,000 km and so far it has shown a good behavior especially in dry weather. In the rainy season I notice that the tire needs to warm up for a few km to start to have more grip, initially they do not transmit a lot of confidence, but then if they are a bit warmer they improve. I only had a fright for aqua-planning, but after a few milliseconds of lack of traction, they held it again and ran well.
So far they have had a fairly uniform wear and have spent quite a few miles. For the price / quality ratio, I think it's a good tire only, in rainy weather, you have to let the tire warm up a bit.

Hi:
I bought this tyres before the Winter came here in Chile. I replaced the Bridgestone tyres for these new tyres and I'm very happy with them. I feel a good grip in dry and wet conditions. With the old ones , I felt a poor grip when I drove quickly, but with the BFG now is funny. I recommend it!!, best regards!

I have bought these tyres on two cars that I own. First impression was the remarkable dry grip. I've had before a set of Pirrelli P7's and I can surely say that the BF's have better grip in the dry, but also on the wet. Very good tires, comparable with the more expensive models, but with one caveat. After a certain wear, they get very noisy. Which is just a shame.

Noisy, too soft and i dont feel that they are in any kind of contact with road. They do a solid job in every day driving, when drive is slow and relaxed. If you wont to feel some speed, that is where problems ocure. And they don't last long either!

The rears were fitted 20,000 miles ago and will probably last the same again. The fronts, with a heavy diesel engine will need to be replaced within a few thousand miles, which will be about 18,000.
I was going through front tyres within 6,000 miles before I found these (Toyo Proxy, Michelin). I'm going to stick with them while I have the car, especially given the low price that I can get them for.

I fitted a new set of BFG gGrip's as a 'sensible' all-round choice on a set of 15" wheels (to replace the silly low profile OEM 17" wheels on my Renault Twingo RS133 Gordini). Overall I've been very impressed and can't really fault them on a relatively light and sensibly powered sports hatch. They may lack a bit of feel & feedback, but they are proving hard wearing and haven't let me down or broken grip yet during 'spirited' driving sessions (even in the wet winter UK commuting and near zeroC temperatures). Summary: a quality, sensibly-priced, all-rounder you can rely on, with no major gripes or problems.

These have done 40,000 miles on the front of my 330D and have been faultless.
