BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3

Test Results

Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been four tests which compare both tires directly!

While it might look like the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is better than the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Key Strengths

BFGoodrich Advantage All Season

• Consistently stronger on snow (braking, traction, handling, slalom)
• Lower rolling resistance and fuel consumption in key tests
• Often quieter and more comfortable
• Competitive value with lower cost per 1,000 km in multiple tests

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3

• Top-tier wet braking and handling with strong aquaplaning reserves
• Shorter dry braking and precise dry-road handling
• Very solid wear/longevity and low abrasion for a premium tire
• Overall higher test rankings and broader safety margin

Real World Driver Reviews

Conclusion

The data shows a consistent pattern: the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is the safer pick on dry and especially wet roads, with shorter braking distances (often 5-9% shorter) and better wet handling/aquaplaning resistance, plus strong projected mileage and an overall premium execution. If you prioritise all-weather safety with frequent rain exposure or spirited dry-road confidence, the Pirelli is the clear choice.

The BFGoodrich Advantage All Season excels when winter matters more than rain. It repeatedly leads on snow (braking, traction, handling) and shows advantages in noise, rolling resistance, and fuel consumption in key tests, alongside a friendlier cost profile. For drivers in cooler climates with occasional snow who value efficiency and price, the BFGoodrich offers compelling real-world value.

Key Differences

• Wet safety: Pirelli consistently brakes 5-9% shorter and handles better in the wet
• Dry braking: Pirelli stops shorter across all shared measurements
• Snow performance: BFGoodrich leads in snow braking/traction/handling by small but repeatable margins
• Aquaplaning: Pirelli shows higher straight and curved aquaplaning thresholds
• Efficiency: BFGoodrich posts lower rolling resistance and fuel use in key tests
• Value: BFGoodrich often cheaper per 1,000 km; Pirelli priced higher but with strong overall performance

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
