The BFGoodrich gGrip receives generally favorable reviews from users who praise its exceptional value for money, impressive dry grip, and comfortable, smooth ride quality. While most find wet traction and treadwear to be acceptable to excellent for everyday driving, a few motorists note concerns regarding softer sidewalls, increased noise as the tire wears, and occasionally unpredictable wet-weather limits when pushed hard.
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
72/100From 131 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
67/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

Pros
- Exceptional value for money compared to premium tier brands
- Strong, reliable dry grip and handling
- Smooth and comfortable ride quality
- Good overall tread wear and durability
Cons
- Some increase in road noise as the tires age and wear down
