I have the same experience as Real 1 on 2 different sets of BB`s. ,20,000 + miles.
I hope I didn`t jinx my luck by saying so.

Goodyear CAN'T be making the same compound as the past. My first set from 2009 were in good shape when I sold them on a set a wheels 3 or 4 years later.
My new BBs are less than a year old and not looking so hot. They aged much, much faster

I ran "BB" for a few years, no issues and always provided great traction however do flat spot. That goes away in a few miles....

Running Power Cushion and G7 now, very happy with them as well.

BFG are dangerous and not made for small cars with power.... My opinion

A yup there. They will start rotting before your eyes. Except for Evan's.
