The GT Radial Champiro BAX 2 elicits a polarized response from users, largely praised as an affordable budget option offering respectable dry grip and value, but criticized by others for durability issues and loud road noise. While some drivers found them to be reliable replacements for daily touring, several notable complaints regarding premature wear, sidewall cracking, and poor wet weather performance highlight inconsistent quality control.
What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
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
62/100From 12 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Attractive, low-cost budget pricing providing strong value for money
- Reliable and steady dry grip and handling
- Decent overall performance for standard daily commuting and touring
Cons
- Significantly high road noise with an unpleasant pitch on well-surfaced roads
- Premature tread wear and durability issues, including sidewall cracking and bulging at relatively low kilometrage
- Mediocre to poor wet weather performance with tendencies toward hydroplaning and sliding
Worth knowing
- Users fitted with OEM applications, such as the Proton Preve, frequently reported sidewall cracking and severe road noise.
- Higher satisfaction and positive handling characteristics were noted by drivers using them on sporty vehicles like a Chevy Camaro.
