Anyone use BFGoodrich traction T/A H?

My friend and I both need to get 4 new tires on our maxes, and i was thinking about getting the BFGoodrich traction T/A H tires, they have a good review on tirerack and are a little bit cheaper then the bridgestone re950 tires. so does anyone out there have the BFGoodrich traction T/A H? or should my buddy and i just stick with the getting another set of RE950?

g/f got them on her new CR-V. Since the car has real time 4WD I can't really tell how good the traction is, it was fine in 3" of snow on Thu. Why a 2k5 CR-V would have tighter steering than a Maxima I'll never understand. But I've seen reviews saying the tire is way better than the other tire that Honda and other mfg's put on SUV's, which are the Bridgestone Duelers. If Bridgestone makes a good tire, I'm not aware of it. I'm a Kumho believer when it comes to anything short of a Porsche....

I just bought a set for my 2000 Passat and the tread pattern and depth is impressive. Wear seems good so far (2k miles) and they feel as sticky or stickier than the Falken 512s I have on the Max. I guess I can't really compare em because the tire sizes are different and both cars handle so differently (the stock Passat still feels way better than my modded Max ). I definitely like the Traction TAs so far though.

I've had mine for several thousand miles. They seem loud to me. Also, I had trouble with them in 3-4 inches of snow last week. Otherwise, I like them. They are wearing nicely and they perform well on dry roads.
