2 tires failed under 25k miles. 1 with crack in sidewall. 1 with steel belt broken. The brand is Corsa and I liked the tires, but they didn’t make it to the 40,000 mile warranty.
My dad’s F-250 had Michelins and I didn’t like the ‘flexible sidewall feel’ they had.I'm pretty cheap / frugal with everything except tires... Michelin tires only please.
My neighbor put the All Terain BFG Kevlar tires on his 2500 Chevy. When he told me the outrageous price he paid, I thought to myself ‘those better be bulletproof!’My 2020 Superduty came with Goodyear Kevlar tires. I have 35K on them. They get good traction and are fairly quiet, but I bet I only get 50K out of them. I'd probably buy them again if priced right, but I usually like Michelin for a good quality tire. I have a friend that has 75K on some Michelins (on a Toyota Tundra) and will probably make it to 90K without a problem. I don't skimp on tires.
My son has Coopers on his Tahoe. They’ve been good tires for him.Cooper Discoverer AT3.
I also had a bad experience with Goodyears...Cooper Discoverer AT3.
I wouldn't put Goodyear's on a wheelbarrow.
I got my tires at Discount as well. I don’t remember seeing the Pathfinders.Pathfinder AT. They are Discount Tire brand competitors to BFGoodrich
Did you add the red stripe? Looks fantastic with BFG’s and matching calipers!

I have about 48K on mine and they are getting close but should last a few thousand more.KO2’s here as well, I’ve had them about 15k now maybe a little more and they are holding up very well. Off-road ~10%, tow 40-50% (often in hay fields), other highway <20%. I’m guessing I’ll get well more than 50k out of them.
Same for me, never had a problem with Michelins. Always got a lot of miles, quiet and good ride on the F150. Same for my Town Car.I'm pretty cheap / frugal with everything except tires... Michelin tires only please.

That's a truck?
We have a Kelly tire dealer here that I completely forgot about. They always had good tires at good prices.
Very nice SUV !
Thats my experience with Kuhmo's. Roughest, noisiest, slickest tires I ever had and didn't even make it 25k miles. Came OEM with the vehicle...My 2019 Ram 2500 came with Firestone Transforce tires. WORST tire EVER! I got just over 17k on them and were bald. Crappy traction the whole time. I put a 3" lift and 35" Toyo open country RT's and have been happy. I have about 29k on them now and expect to get around 45k.
Michelins have always been good tires.
I’ve never run on Firestones but I do remember many years ago a lot of blowout stories like yours.I'm running BFG A/T KO2's on my current truck, second set on them, first set were the older "KO"s. Could immediately tell the difference in traction and tread noise. Still running KO's on my wife's 4Runner. Good traction in most conditions. No "All Terrain" tire does well in sloppy mud, but for the most part we don't deal with sloppy, deep mud here. The BFG's have been all I've run on my last half dozen 4x4's. They just work.
Haven't had a Firestone product since the 70's. Won't give them a dime. Had one of their "721" tires blow the front fender clean off of a brand new '77 Chrysler while going down the freeway. Firestone lawyered up and wouldn't pay for anything. We eventually beat them, but they'll never see another dime of my money. They can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned.
Michelins have always been good tires.
Michelin seems to have always had a consistent reputation over the years. My dad was a loyal customer.For me also!
Seem to hear that a lot on this thread![]()
I don't hold Firestone responsible for all those blowouts. Even though Firestone paid the price, it was Fords fault.I’ve never run on Firestones but I do remember many years ago a lot of blowout stories like yours.
I remember that. I'm so sick of hearing people say the Ford Explorer was unsafe. I had a 95 two door sport and it was not unstable at all. The problem came with Ford saying to run, it was either 24 or 26 PSI? in the tires. That was what was on the door jam sticker.I don't hold Firestone responsible for all those blowouts.

I never heard that it was a tire pressure problem ,that was the root cause. Interesting post.I remember that. I'm so sick of hearing people say the Ford Explorer was unsafe.

And that was the problem with the tires and the roll overs. I always ran 32 PSI in mine and never had an issue.
That's why you saw most of the blowouts and roll overs in the States where the temperatures were much higher than up here.
A lot of it happened because they ran the tires past when they should replace. At the same time driving 70 mph all the time. Tread would peel off. Seen it happen and had it happen. I will still buy Firestone.I remember that. I'm so sick of hearing people say the Ford Explorer was unsafe. I had a 95 two door sport and it was not unstable at all.
