Comparison: BFGoodrich Advantage vs. Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

Comparing two top-of-the-line summer tyres by BFGoodrich and Dunlop reveals some interesting features that set these options apart.


The BFGoodrich Advantage tyre hint at its primary strength - comfort. This is noted as its best feature in the Autobild test where it placed 20th out of 51 tyres. The primary points noted were the tyre's stability on dry roads and its short braking distances. The tests also highlight the contentedly silent rolling comfort. However, some of the negatives noted include a tendency towards understeer handling and extended braking distances on wet surfaces.


On the other hand, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 tyre stood out in the same tests by being placed in the 7th position. Its best features are noted as good aquaplaning features and comfort. Precision in wet handling and short braking distances on both dry and wet roads were commended. Furthermore, reviewers praised the tyre for its appreciable rolling comfort and fair price level. Nonetheless, a minor drawback noted was the slight delay in the steer-in response on dry roads.


In terms of rating, the BFGoodrich Advantage gets a slightly lower rating (68%) compared to Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 (72%), suggesting that the latter might be a slightly better option according to our tests.


Importantly, neither of the models has been replaced by a newer version, implying that both remain as strong offerings from the respective manufacturers.


In dent, if your primary concern is overall performance and wet weather driving, then the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 could be your best choice. However, if you value comfort over outright performance, then BFGoodrich Advantage might be the better option. Both tyres offer a unique blend of features and picking between these two will ultimately come down to understanding your driving habits and the conditions in which you mostly drive.
