The BFGoodrich Advantage is generally well-received as a comfortable, quiet, and reliable tire tailored for daily commuting and normal driving conditions. While drivers praise its impressive wet and dry braking capabilities and high comfort levels, more spirited drivers note limitations in sporty handling and cornering stability.
Owners rate it 8.9 points lower than the instrumented road tests do — see the two score breakdowns below for where they disagree.
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.
By owner reviews
66/100From 76 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
75/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 76 owner reviews found online.
The BFGoodrich Advantage is generally well-received as a comfortable, quiet, and reliable tire tailored for daily commuting and normal driving conditions. While drivers praise its impressive wet and dry braking capabilities and high comfort levels, more spirited drivers note limitations in sporty handling and cornering stability.
Pros
- Exceptional ride comfort and smooth driving dynamics
- Extremely quiet rolling noise
- Strong wet and dry braking performance
- Good durability and longevity on harsh summer roads
Cons
- Lacks sporty handling and can feel insecure or wobbly when cornering hard
- Poor grip during aggressive acceleration for some high-torque applications
- Some users reported dissatisfaction with tread wear under certain driving styles
Worth knowing
- Users with low ground clearance vehicles, such as the Subaru Impreza, appreciated the tough sidewalls for handling road bumps.
- Wagon owners, such as the Subaru Liberty, noted that the tires handled extra loads well during cross-country and camping trips.
