BCT Radial A/P Tires

Was wondering if anyone has these tires on their truck, or even heared of them.
I did a google search and came up with nothing. There were two on my truck when I bought it, (I blew one recently) and the tread is identical to my Michelin LTX so im assuming they are a generic tire made by Michelin.
Curious if they are worth lookin for to save a few $$ over the Michelin price, or if anyone has had any bad luck with them.

I have put over 23k on my Michelins. and the BCT's were on the truck for over a year before I bought it. The tread depth is the same hight as my two new Michelins, so they must be wearing good.

They are made in China.... see:

Pay the extra for the michelins... China as a habit of copying our products...

Well that prob explains why the one had two huge bubbles appear on the side wall 180 deg from each other, and went flat on me going down the expressway.
I moved the remaining one to the back, and I guess I'll run it till it blows.

Thanks for the heads up .

David, they are 10 ply "E" rated tires. the tread is Identical to my Michelin LTX's...not close, but identical....I realy thought they were a comm. michelin? guess they stole the tread pattern.

Phil, I would, but my cruise dosen't work, and right now that tire is better than my spare. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the offer Phil, If you were a lil bit closer I would take it.
I'll just turn that BCT into my spare and buy a new tire when funds permit.
Im still saving for a new trans .
