BF - summer tyres 2026 - market overview, tests, reviews
We selected just a few of the many BFGoodrich summer tyres on the market based on recent independent tests so you get a concise, test-driven overview. Below you’ll find how the BFGoodrich Advantage performed across the latest test cycles and what that means in everyday use.
Test summary
- The Advantage has appeared in several recent tests and sizes (205/55 R16, 215/55 R17 and 225/40 R18) between 2022 and 2025. ADAC (2023) judged the 205/55 R16 size as “chvalitebné” (a positive rating), while AutoBild gave “dobré” (good) ratings in its 2022 and 2024 16–17-inch tests. A 2025 AutoBild entry (225/40 R18) flagged braking-distance performance for attention. In our database the model carries a consolidated score of 67 — included because multiple independent tests have consistently evaluated the tyre.
Strengths
- Dry handling: Tests repeatedly note dynamic and stable behaviour on dry roads, with short braking distances and predictable steering response.
- Comfort and noise: Reviewers highlight a quiet, pleasant ride and good rolling comfort.
- Efficiency and value: Low rolling resistance and a competitive price point are consistent advantages, making the tyre attractive for cost- and economy-minded drivers.
Weaknesses
- Wet performance: Multiple test reports point to a tendency to understeer in wet conditions and somewhat longer braking distances on wet surfaces. AutoBild specifically flagged wet braking as an area to watch in recent evaluations. If your driving includes frequent heavy rain or you prioritise the absolute best wet braking, this tyre is less convincing than some competitors.
Recommendation
- The BFGoodrich Advantage is a solid choice if you prioritise dry-road handling, low noise and fuel economy at a reasonable price. For drivers who regularly face wet-weather or high-performance braking demands, consider looking at alternatives with stronger wet-grip ratings. The Advantage remains a current model in test reports — no replacement of this tyre model was indicated in the tests we used.
