We bring you a detailed comparison of two popular all-round tyres - the Viking Fourtech and the BFGoodrich G-Grip All Season 2.
Our rigorous testing benchmarks scored the Viking Fourtech at 45% whereas the BFGoodrich G-Grip All Season 2 was rated lower at 19%. This fairly large difference points to the Viking Fourtech as the more attractive option. However, it is essential to dive into the individual strengths and weaknesses of each tyre to gain a more nuanced understanding.
The Viking Fourtech performed admirably in categories such as aquaplaning - cross and rolling resistance, coming out 15th in a field of 27 tyres in the Autobild Test. On the other hand, its lack of any significant previous model or a more recent model to compare to makes our judgement solely based on its current performance.
Switching gears to the BFGoodrich G-Grip All Season 2, which also boasts a strong track record in various aspects such as exterior noise, comfort, snow braking, snow cornering, and snow handling capabilities. Despite its individual strengths, it skids slightly behind the Viking Fourtech in the Autobild Test, securing the 14th position.
According to the Autobild 2020 review, the BFGoodrich has exceptional traction on ice and snow and short dry braking distances. Notably, it also offers excellent rolling comfort and has low power consumption. However, it understeers on wet tracks which is a potential drawback for drivers in rainy conditions.
In conclusion, while the BFGoodrich G-Grip All Season 2 (From BFGoodrich) excels in snowy conditions and energy efficiency, its performance on wet tracks leaves some room for improvement. The Viking Fourtech (From Viking), although lacking in significant historical or forwards data for comparison, currently emerges as a robust all-rounder. Despite this, individual preferences and driving conditions should always guide your ultimate choice. Stay tuned for more comparisons and reviews on the best tyres for you.
