BFGoodrich gGrip Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 40 reviews

Most owners like the BFGoodrich gGrip, with 32 of 40 reviews scoring above 70% and dry grip drawing particularly consistent praise. Wet grip is also more often liked than criticised, though around one in seven of the 37 owners discussing specific qualities report a wet-grip concern. Value, low noise and comfort add to its everyday appeal. Actual longer-use accounts often describe substantial mileage, but five owners criticise wear, so long life is not universal. Three describe soft sidewalls, while dry handling draws a small, evenly split response. One driver reports rising noise with wear and another reduced wet grip later in life, without a shared pattern of deterioration.

I fitted a new set of BFG gGrip's as a 'sensible' all-round choice on a set of 15" wheels (to replace the silly low profile OEM 17" wheels on my Renault Twingo RS133 Gordini). Overall I've been very impressed and can't really fault them on a relatively light and sensibly powered sports hatch. They may lack a bit of feel & feedback, but they are proving hard wearing and haven't let me down or broken grip yet during 'spirited' driving sessions (even in the wet winter UK commuting and near zeroC temperatures). Summary: a quality, sensibly-priced, all-rounder you can rely on, with no major gripes or problems.

These have done 40,000 miles on the front of my 330D and have been faultless.

I'm running full stage 3 mods on my car around 300-330 bhp and just replaced my Pirelli p zero tires which were terrible. They couldn't grip that well in the dry with the power and in the wet they were really bad. These tires are so much better I feel more confident driving harder in the wet and dry. The Pirelli p zero seemed to pull my car around more on rough Tarmac too especially in tram lines. I put this down to having big wheels but now these Goodrich tires do not do that at all. Overall I'm really happy it feels like a totally different car to drive and my smile has gotten bigger every time I take it out. My wife who drives very steady has also said the car feels much better now. I can't comment on how they wear I've only had them 2 weeks.

Positives:Very good tire. Pretty quiet. Great wear. Strong grip for midrange tire. Fitted to my 2012 avensis used mainly for work commute. 65,000km on them, have been rotated. Down to 3mm.
Negatives: at 60,000km one tire is causing a slight wobble from back of car. Possibly wheel has got a knock or balance weight has fallen off?

Had these fitted today, fantastic improvement over the standard-fit Continentals. Better grip and lower noise. Too early to know about wear, but can't be worse than the Continentals as they wore very quickly.

I bought these Tires as that's all they had in at the time when I'd had a blow out & I probably would never have gone for them as I'm a fan of the Uniroyal rainsport 2's, but Im so happy that I did, from the off they offered all round grip in wet and dry condition and never showed any signs of letting go, even on spirited drives and now when they are on the bar markers and grip is still great albeit I don't push it in the wet now, but all in all a great tire, wear is great as I generally get about 12-15000 miles out of front tires in my job and these are now on 19000 miles so I will deffo be getting another set.

I have had them on my last two cars.A fiat punto 1.9 JTD and my current car which is a Ford Mondeo. They perform very well in all weather conditions and handle a fully loaded car very well and offer very good grip when towing my boat and other trailers. The dry grip is very good and you would struggle to spin the tires in any gear apart from first.The wet grip is perfectly good for acceleration and cornering. The only problem that i have come across is that they dont wear that well but then it might have something to do with my heavy foot with 150hp and 270ft-pounds of tourque. The last tires i had were michelin pilot sport and in the wet they would spin all the way up to third. so in summary i would buy them again and at £72.00 a corner you cant complain.

Grip on dry or wet roads better than Potenzas, quieter than Potenzas, wear much better than Potenzas and much cheaper than potenzas. They do not have rim protectors but the curved wall gives excellent protection from curbing. Only strange thing is the flame pattern on side wall. Buy with confidence.
