Firestone Transforce AT 2 Are good tires as long as you stay on dry pavement, Traction is terrible off roads and forget about using them in snow.
Which is one of the reasons why they had such good grip.
Along with how people drive, and their expectations.If this thread goes on long enough every tire model every produced will get mentioned. Whether or not tires are good or bad can depend just as much on what vehicle they are going on as much as just the tire itself.......
Another terrible tire that was so frustrating was Remington brand.
Falkens..
Anything that my parents purchased in Phoenix. I've read that depending on the region tire manufacturers have slightly different compounds. I used my parents vibe, it was like driving on ice below 40 degrees. My neon same thing, I put new tires on it and it drove fantastic in the snow.What are the worst tires you've used? I haven't driven on much other than michelins.
I totally agree with RS. It seems that no brand escaped being on this list even some of the 'premium' (expensive) brands. Probably the worst tires I ever had were the OE Firestones on my 2008 Corolla...the Bridgestone Potenza (RE92 I think) on my brothers 1993 Outback were terrible too.If this thread goes on long enough every tire model every produced will get mentioned.

I like hearing everyone's opinions and experiences but take it all with a grain of salt, they wont necessary match your own with the same tire.
The first versions of the current P7 A/S series were horrible. However the currently available P7 A/S 3's are highly regarded but I still wont try them. My daughter has P7 A/S 2 run flats as OE on her BMW 330i xdrive and they are mediocre.I once had a set of Pirelli P3 tires on a car. They wore out super quick. The handling was fair, but not good enough to justify the super short tread life. Fortunately, I got tread wear warranty from DT.
I don't think Pirelli offers the P3 any longer.
Get back to us when you hit 20K-Michel Tires Plus ran a special a few years back in the Ziex 912s, we had several sets in my extended family, NONE of the sets made over 20,000 miles! Other Sumitomo made ones didn’t fare any better.I've had Remingtons, and currently have Falkens on my truck. I would buy either one again.
My experience with Sumitomo is they perform well but wear fast. At the price point I think it's a fair trade off. My Sumitomo HTR-P02's were great but lasted only 25K miles.Get back to us when you hit 20K-Michel Tires Plus ran a special a few years back in the Ziex 912s, we had several sets in my extended family, NONE of the sets made over 20,000 miles!
