Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2006is BFgoodrich T/A T tires heavy for accord?
Hello, I saw good ratings on this bf goodrich T/A T in tirerack.com. When I called up a tire store, they questioned why I wanted a tire that would be too heavy for my particular car. This car is a Honda Accord LX 2001 (196/65/15). What do folks in the forum think? Previously, I've only used goodyears so i have no experience w/ BF Goodrich. My goodyears usually wear tread quickly. also are run-flats any good? Occasionally here in atlanta burbs there are nails on the roads... Thanks > also are run-flats any good? NO!!!! Horrendously expensive for what you get. But normal tires and pay up your AAA subscription. Lot cheaper.

Ok, now what about the BF Goodrich tires T/A T? Are they too heavy for honda accord sedans? Thanks. > > Hello, > > I saw good ratings on this bf goodrich T/A T in tirerack.com.

Which T/A are you talking about? Traction T/A Radial T/A Touring T/A Something else? Traction T/A > > Ok, now what about the BF Goodrich tires T/A T? > > Are they too heavy for honda accord sedans? [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Something else? FWIW. I have about 15,000mi. on a set on my 2000 accord. They're wearing poorly and sound worse than any snow tire I've ever owned. I took the car into the honda dealer for an alignment and wanted the tires rotated and balanced. I was told that the tires are shot and should be replaced (they would have been happy to sell me another set). They did the alignment but told me that it would be a waste of money to rotate and balance the tires. So, Beware! TomC P.S Shortly after buying the tires I moved to another state so taking them back to the original tire dealer was not an option. ap <corsica@ragingbull.com> wrote in article <1149691816.478378.188220@i40g2000cwc.googlegroups.com>... > Traction T/A > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > > Something else? >> > Ok, now what about the BF Goodrich tires T/A T? >> > Are they too heavy for honda accord sedans? [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Traction T/A Did you actually heft each tire by hand? An entire tire/wheel assembly is (very) roughly about 30 lbs. SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ >Traction T/A By "heavy", what do you mean? Do you mean that they have a slightly higher load rating than necessary for your car, or that they actually weigh a bit more than most tires of the size?
