The BFGoodrich Advantage tyre has received a mixed analysis across various dimensions and testing environments, particularly favoring dry conditions while showing certain limitations in wet scenarios.
In dry conditions, the tyre is praised for its stable driving behaviour and short braking distances. Testers commend the tyre for its dynamic dry handling and report that it has a pleasantly quiet rolling noise. Additionally, it demonstrates low rolling resistance, which can contribute to more efficient fuel usage. These qualities together make the BFGoodrich Advantage a strong contender when it comes to driving on dry roads, offering a balanced blend of performance and comfort.
However, the tyre's performance in wet conditions exhibits room for improvement. The primary concern is a tendency to understeer, which has been consistently noted. Understeer, where the car does not turn as much as intended, can pose a challenge during wet weather driving, potentially impacting the tyre's handling and safety. Additionally, the tyre has shown prolonged braking distances when the road is wet, although it's noted for decent braking effectiveness on wet surfaces. Concerns about the tyre's side guidance in wet conditions and moderate performance in aquaplaning tests further highlight areas where the tyre could see enhancements. The reports indicate that while the BFGoodrich Advantage can stop competently on wet surfaces, its overall wet handling could benefit from improvements to offer a more responsive and secure driving experience.
Moreover, despite these distinguished performances in specific areas, the general handling characteristics of the tyre received comments about being sluggish, with delayed steering response and moderate traction, which could detract from the driving experience for some users.
In summation, the BFGoodrich Advantage shows compelling features, particularly in dry conditions with its combination of stable driving behavior, short braking distances, and quiet rolling noise. However, its performance in wet conditions, marked by a propensity for understeer and less confident handling, spotlights the need for cautious consideration by drivers who frequently encounter rainy weather. Its affordability and lower rolling resistance merit attention for those prioritizing budget and fuel efficiency, making the tyre an intriguing option depending on individual driving conditions and priorities.
BFGoodrich Advantage is made in 146 sizes, starting from 155/65 R14 up to 255/35 R20.
