The Goodride SA07 divides opinion as an ultra-budget tire, offering exceptional value and decent performance for some drivers while frustrating others with traction and vibration issues. While users appreciate the low price point, quiet highway ride on smooth surfaces, and respectable dry handling, critics cite poor wet grip, wheel spin under acceleration, and balancing difficulties.
Owners rate it 16.8 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
54/100From 8 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
71/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

The Goodride SA07 divides opinion as an ultra-budget tire, offering exceptional value and decent performance for some drivers while frustrating others with traction and vibration issues. While users appreciate the low price point, quiet highway ride on smooth surfaces, and respectable dry handling, critics cite poor wet grip, wheel spin under acceleration, and balancing difficulties.
Pros
- Exceptional affordability and value for money
- Quiet and comfortable ride on smooth tarmac
- Good dry handling and cornering capabilities for standard driving
- Decent tread wear durability due to a harder compound
Cons
- Compromised wet weather traction leading to sliding and early traction control intervention
- Prone to wheel spin and lack of traction under heavy acceleration on front-wheel-drive or high-torque vehicles
- Potential balancing issues resulting in highway vibrations
- Firm ride that communicates excessive road imperfections and surface ruts
Worth knowing
- Drivers of high-torque front-wheel-drive vehicles reported significant wheel spin and poor wet grip, suggesting the tire struggles to put power down effectively.
- AWD vehicle owners (such as a Subaru Legacy GT) reported much more favorable handling and grip characteristics compared to FWD users.
