BFG - summer tyres 2026 - market overview, tests, reviews
BFGoodrich has built its reputation on performance and durability, and its summer tyre range is no exception. Originally an American brand and now part of the Michelin Group, BFGoodrich brings decades of motorsport and high-performance road tyre expertise to the summer segment. From spirited driving on country roads to demanding track-day use, BFG summer tyres are engineered with grip and driver engagement firmly in mind. From the range currently available, we have selected a handful of models based on the most recent independent test data — these represent the tyres most likely to be relevant to buyers today.
BFGoodrich summer tyres tend to appeal to drivers who want more than just a safe, sensible choice. The brand leans toward the sporty end of the spectrum, prioritising dry-road handling and lateral grip over outright comfort or maximum mileage. That said, modern BFG summer compounds have made notable strides in wet-weather performance, closing the gap to more comfort-focused rivals without losing their characteristic directness and steering feel.
When evaluating BFG summer tyres, independent tests consistently highlight strong dry handling and responsive steering as key strengths. Wet braking and aquaplaning resistance vary by model — it is worth checking specific test results before purchasing, particularly if you drive in a region with frequent rainfall. Tread life can be shorter than average for the most performance-oriented options in the range, which is a common trade-off at the sportier end of the summer tyre market.
As BFGoodrich refreshes its lineup, older models are periodically replaced by updated successors with improved compounds and tread patterns. Where a tyre has been succeeded, we note this alongside the relevant model to help you identify the most current option available in your size.
