The Goodride SA37 is a polarizing budget-tier tire that offers exceptional value for money, frequently drawing comparisons to premium brands in terms of dry and wet grip. However, user experiences are inconsistent, with significant reports of quality control issues such as manufacturing defects and poor roundness, alongside concerns regarding rapid tread wear.
Owners rate it 16 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
49/100From 26 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
65/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

Pros
- Excellent price-to-performance ratio
- Strong dry and wet weather traction for daily driving
- Quiet road noise levels
- Progressive handling characteristics
Cons
- Significant quality control issues (out-of-round tires causing vibrations)
- Rapid tread wear and short lifespan
- Inconsistent manufacturing consistency
- Lack of road feedback
Worth knowing
- Users with high-torque or tuned front-wheel-drive vehicles report rapid tread wear, often requiring replacement within 8,000 to 12,000 km.
- Some users noted that the tire performs surprisingly well on heavier vehicles like the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, maintaining stability similar to premium alternatives.
