Has anyone in the group used the Sam's Club B.F. Goodrich Advantage Plus tires on their "big" Buick? I'm thinking about putting a set of the 225/75/15's, with narrow whitewall, on my 1963 Riviera. Any comments about smoothness of ride and general handling? I understand this Advantage Plus tire (available only at Sam's) is almost identical to the B.F. Goodrich Control TA M80 recently sold at "regular" tire dealers. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks to all, John in Wisconsin
I've used some of Sam's Club's tires in the past. You do have to be careful. The reason you can't find them anywhere else is because they generally are sold overseas or in Mexico, Central America, etc. You might be better off ordering in a set of a more familiar name brand like Wrangler's or other style that is commonly sold in the US. I had to take a set back that I had put on my truck. They were so bad that could could not be balanced. They had almost 1/4 of one of the wheels covered with wheel weights!!
I did buy some Sam's Club tires for my yard tractor and at 3-5 mph they are doing great !:3gears: :laugh: :laugh: :TU:
I recently put two on the front of my Estate Wagon. I am happy with them. I have almost worn out a set of four on my Chevelle. Again, I have been happy with them, handle well, good traction, wear was good and no trouble balancing that I know of. I did have problems with breakling belts in Sam's Tires that were made by General. I upgraded to the BF Goodrich and solved that problem. The wheel weight thing - sometimes I am suspect of the rims, not the tires. I suspect that today's rims are made with better consistency than 30-40 years ago.
