The Goodride SA37 is a budget summer touring tire that many owners like for its price and everyday grip. Independent tests are less reassuring about wet handling, steering response and stability, while later-life owner reports raise wear and vibration concerns.
The Goodride SA37 attracts owner praise for its price and everyday dry grip, with wet grip also drawing more positive than negative comments. That contrasts unusually with its independent test record. Auto Zeitung placed it 18th of 20 in 2020, including 17th in wet handling and 13th in wet braking, while Test World's 2015 assessment criticised difficult wet handling, slow steering and rear grip loss in emergency maneuvers. Satisfaction in routine use therefore sits alongside clear weaknesses when handling is tested more closely.
The 2022 Tire Reviews comparison used a mixed Goodride and Star Performer combination, so its Not Recommended verdict and unusually low rolling resistance cannot describe a complete matching set. The older tests already raised handling concerns and found high rolling resistance. Later-life owner accounts also qualify the low purchase price: short tread life recurs, three accounts attribute vibration to the tire, and both repeat reviewers reduced their scores after further use. Noise and comfort experiences vary. The evidence gives a stronger case for initial affordability than for consistent handling or lasting satisfaction.

Car came with a full set of these, newly fitted on purchase. They are cheap as chips yet performed absolutely fine in all conditions when driven in a calm manner.
I would have been happy with these except for one fact. After 3 attempts at balancing to counteract what was a notable wobble in the steering wheel, 3 of the 4 were spotted during balancing as being not 'round'....... binned them after 2000 miles....

I was used to building brands like Goodyear and Continental but given the layoff plans they made in France I turned to Asian tires like nakang, goodride, linglong. The SA37 is a very safe tire, good grip on wet ground and excellent on dry ground. On average I do 8000km with a new set of tires on the front axle.
After putting these summer tires back after the winter, I very quickly noticed a vibrating effect. At this point the tires are only about 1000 km used. The vibration is caused by the tires, which are not round. The tires were clearly wobbling in the balancing machine, and causing the vibration to the car. A lot of people have had the same problem with this tire, and therefore I advise to stay away from them. If lucky, you could end with somewhat decent tires for the money, but I feel like it's not worth the lottery (and hassle). I'll get rid of these horrible tires and get some better ones.
These tires are fine for the money.
What I find especially lacking is the road feedback. you dont feel anything. While that would be great if comfort is what you are after. but they are not comfortable at all. you feel all the bumps in the road.
They do have pretty good dry grip. Much better then for example the Michelin 195/65/15 Primacy i got previously on the car.
Other aspects the Michelin tires did much better.
Next time i would go for Nexen, Nankang or Toyo.

These are very good tires (especially for the price) and I don't understand most of the negative review tests.
I have been driving Goodride SA37's through summer and winter and both good and bad weather conditions and I have never had problems with them, I'm on my 3rd set of tires now! The only thing is that they tend to wear out quick, but it's a soft performance tire so this is normal, and for the price per tire it's certainly not bad at al!!
I found these tires to be excellent in heavy to light rain. When the road was just wet with little water, not quite as good. I drive an automatic Citroen Grand C4 Picasso and these tires are almost as good as the Michelin tires it came with and at a fraction of the price.
By far the worst tires on this earth. i only got these tires they came in a wheel deal. After3 months crackdown started to appear on the side wall. Goodride wasnt interested in helping me out. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BRAND NOR WOULD I PURCHASE THEM AGAIN.
Good value for the money I bought them, 86 £ for 2 . Chinese brand, were good tires. I`ve done 20000 miles in 1 year with them, 90% on highway (on a front-wheel-drive) .
I would not buy them again just because these tires wear out fast .
Had these on just the fronts.
Went up in width and my first impressions was amazing.
Then came to wet driving and they are incredibly bad. you just cant tell when its about to slip or anything of the sort
Its either full grip in a corner or nothing.
Road noise did increase as well vs other budget tyers I had before
They are pretty good at smoothing out potholes ect consiering they are only a 35 wall tire
For a cheap tire in the dry they are pretty good.
Just terrible in the rain from my experience
If you dont care about performance and just want a crusing tire these would be pretty good other than the increase in road noise
Again will state that only front tyers with these
