BFG Elite Force T/A 265/60R18 114V XL

It's an All Season M+S XL rated tire, 700AA A so it should last a while, and 4 ply construction. They get tremendous wet traction, including in a downpour with half an inch of standing water on the highway. The center line in the tread keeps turns precise and keeps you from moving around much in high wind. I like the slightly stiffer sidewall, especially when changing lanes at highway speed, but it isn't much more than an SL. I still get 28-32 mpg at 34 psi, and while I drop a couple mpg at 33 psi, they grip like crazy after warming up. I have 1200 miles on this set. They're been great on highway, rural, and gravel roads. Good stopping power, feels responsive in curves and hard turns. From the mud/water evacuation patterns, I'm not worried about getting around town or on the highway this winter.

This is an update to my previous review. These are still absolutely great tires, proven through two -40°F winters in the Midwest/Great Lakes region. I've put 48,000 miles on this set without issue. Tread is just now reaching 5/32nds; I will get the full 60,000 miles I expected, if not a fair bit more. I have seen no difference in stopping power as the tread wears. Keeping tire pressure at 33 psi nets me 26 mpg in the winters, 31 to 32 mpg in the summers. Evacuation pattern handles mud, rain, slush and snow without issue on highways, city streets, and rural roads. “Undercover” design is literally just the other face of the tire, the design isn't asymmetrical so if you don't want the “badge-inspired” design just flip it around before mounting. Rotate and monitor tire pressure regularly if you are a spirited driver, overpressure will wear the tire's middle compound more quickly, but can be corrected if caught early.
