The BluResponse has been with us for many years now, but it still stands as a very decent tire. The price is usually acceptable and it's only major downside when compared to newer tires is lower mileage.

225/45 R17 Rank: 8 (Recommended) 195/55 R16 Rank: 8 (Satisfactory) The BFGoodrich Advantage is here to offer you a bargain—but it doesn't impress much beyond that. It has decent dry handling and provides a quiet ride with low rolling resistance, but performance on wet surfaces leaves much to be desired. If you're looking for an affordable option and are willing to compromise on wet grip and overall performance, it might still be worth considering. Expect satisfactory comfort but manage your expectations elsewhere.
