Performance Analysis

BFGoodrich Advantage - Official Image

Across 15 summer tests the BFGoodrich Advantage shows a mixed profile: commendable comfort/noise and occasional dry braking highlights, but consistently mediocre-to-weak dynamic performance in the wet and on handling circuits. A strong 2/8 overall in the 2025 Moottori mid-range test demonstrates it can perform well in moderate fields, yet broader comparative tests with premium competition place it mid-to-lower pack. Aquaplaning resistance is generally average, value/pricing is not standout, and rolling resistance is acceptable.
Overall, the tire's strengths lie in refinement and isolated dry braking results, while recurring deficits in wet grip and handling pace limit its competitiveness in large comparative shootouts.
