BFGoodrich Advantage 2

Two scoring systems, side by side

Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 12 owner reviews found online.

The BFGoodrich Advantage 2 receives generally favorable reviews focused heavily on ride comfort and exceptionally low noise levels. Users report that the tires excel on highways and b-roads, though some note drawbacks related to sidewall stiffness and front tire wear patterns.

Pros

  • Exceptionally quiet operation with minimal road noise
  • High level of ride comfort suitable for touring
  • Good performance for highway and secondary road driving

Cons

  • Soft sidewalls leading to a compromised on-center steering feel
  • Uneven front-to-rear wear patterns observed by some users
  • May not be an ideal fit for all vehicle types due to soft sidewall construction

Worth knowing

  • Users on comfort-oriented vehicles without sports suspensions find the ride quality to be a great match.
  • Owners of compact hatchbacks like the Nissan Tiida (Versa) on 185/65 R15 sizes noted that wind noise easily outpaces road noise.
