Anyone have any experience with BCT tires? A local shop is selling BCT S800 summer tires (235-40-18) for 95 bucks each and I'm thinking about pulling the trigger. I will be needing new summer tires next year but was considering all seasons (conti DWS). These tires got mixed reviews online but I couldn't find a lot of reviews.....and most were in german or something.

I had never heard of them until today. Any input appreciated.

No one??? I think I'm just going to bite the bullet. If they suck...I'll tell the world, lol.

Google search reveals they are cheap Chinese tires. I'd steer clear. I've had cheap tires, nexen, federal, etc. Once I got my invos, I decided I'd never go back. There is that much of a difference.

Thanks guys, appreciate the input. probably gonna pass on them....95 bucks a tire is pretty damn good though for that size.

It is an entry level tire so don't have any high expectations from them!!! If it were me I would spend the extra cash and get the DWS's!! I am a store manage of a tire shop in GA and we used to carry the BCT brand but stopped a couple of years ago. Check the date code on the tire also!

No one should buy those BCT tires. Consider this as a PSA. I had those tires on my Camry when I bought it used from a dealership. The tires have no traction at all and wear fast. I am a steady driver; do not speed over 80 mph and I barely got 40K miles. Their performance in snow, is pathetic. Please do not take this risk, it is not worth it!
