Goodride SA37 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 25 reviews

Owners often value the Goodride SA37 for its price and everyday grip, with more favorable than critical comments on both wet and dry roads. The 25 reviews from 23 owners average 63.9%, comprising 12 positive, ten neutral and three negative scores. Wet confidence is not universal, with three critical comments against nine favorable ones. Short tread life is a recurring later-life complaint, while vibration attributed to the tire appears in three accounts. Both repeat owners reduced their scores after more use, with one reporting declining dry traction and the other vibration, wear and noise concerns. Noise and comfort experiences otherwise vary rather than forming clear strengths.

Last year bought 4x tires for 4WD.
Start OK in year 2018, but 2000 km later started to feel vibration - result > tire jumping along the grooves in wheel balancer.
To warranty = new tires. Put them on and 2000km was ok. Drived 12 000 km (year total). Tire worn maybe 1 to 1,5mm. So this far -very good result, despite the warranty case. And with this - good grip in dry and wet (even speeds 180 km/h +), and very good grip, tires lasted well, low noise level.

Then winter and this year 2019 put them on. Almost first kilometers - vibration again. Went to first tire shop to balance rims - everything ok. Started to look at car axle drive - yeah, few parts needed to be changed, but after the change still vibration and started massive tire wear. I don't know, 1000 km = 1 mm wear? That was crazy. Went to dealer to 3D wheel alignment. They regulated front wheels a bit but everything was almost ok. And still - massive tire wear and tires started to loose grip. Milled asphalt - I couldn't hold the steering wheel > car was all over the road. Ant the noise - omg. Like driving with mud tire. Tire looked fine but this year I could drive 8000 km and result was (tire had 8 mm when new, 6,5-7 mm when I put them to storage after 12000 km) and this when I threw them away 1,3 mm was left. So worst case = 6,5 mm to 1,3 mm in 8000 km = that is crazy. At this level, there was no point to send them to warranty - pointless waste of my time.
And rear tires - inner sides worn to staircase damage. When you look at side - tread is like staircase (stairs).

Yes - when new - good grip, good feedback, good handling (8 out of 10). But crazy worn level. Tread worn to stairs. Lasted 20 000 km total and were worn to 1,3mm. And within these 20 000 km, maybe I got 5000 km without any vibration etc.
So the result - I WILL NEVER BUY THESE TYRES AGAIN. Maybe tire width (195 to 225 maybe lasts), but 245 tire width this brand is garbage.
Replaced them to another company brand. Went to car dealer 3D wheel alignment - everything was superb, no adjustments needed at all. And ride is smooth, without any vibration, no tire worn at all and i have done already 3500 km with new ones.
So again, Goodride SA37 - worst tire ever. Keep away from it.
20000km=12427miles.

Fitted on the front of a modified Astra GSi Turbo.

I always used to go with known/quality brands but these SA37's I got were very good, especially for the price, unbeatable value. Fitted to very quick car, dry grip was very good, wet grip was good, loss of grip was progressive and gave warning unlike some tires that aggressively let go. Excellent economy on long runs and wore well with a combined motorway and urban driving.

Always worth reading reviews and checking ratings of economy/budget tires. Sometimes they are worth it and in this instance, I'd buy again.

Just bought the tires after having trouble with three sets of Nokian Zline which started cracking just after one summer. I bought these Goodride after reading Autobild review where they got really good review.
I am usually skeptical regarding Asian tires, always went with premium tires but this time I was blown away.

I bought the tires for 52€/tire and I really cant find anything bad with them, they are good in every condition.
My car is tuned and a front wheel drived car which usually tends to swirl and slip during acceleration, but I don't really have a problem with these tires.

Update to my previous comments (at 200 miles) Have had these on the car for about 4500 miles now which has been a mixture of dry, ice, snow and rain.
These are surprisingly good on snow - I was genuinely expecting them to be borderline dangerous but they're pretty well behaved
As good as any other summer tire on ice (lethal) .
In the wet, these seem to have more grip than they do in the dry.
In the dry, these were excellent when first fitted for the first few thousand miles. They remain good under braking (have never lost grip under braking) but are now prone to spin/squeak/make the traction control lose its mind a fair bit if i need to pull off quickly.

All in all, as good as any other budgets i've run on.

Put a set of these on 225/50/17 w extra load - £41 a corner isn't going to get anything better. They went onto the rims better than the evergreens they replaced. Fairly limited mileage thus far, and entirely in wet/very wet. These behave as well as conti sport contact 2s that I used to have thus far, and significantly better than the evergreens. Hopefully they still will once worn in properly. Shall update this once have further feedback.

bought the tires 2 for the front of my vectra they were a reasonable buy for £44. each but they are now on the limit markers at 8000. miles have had there SV308s and they lasted 15000. miles and still had 2mm legal tread left even though the central of the tire was balled have had fallen 914s on the front of the same car and they lasted 13000. miles. also GYF1. AS2. that did 15000. Was thinking of putting them on the rear but have changed my mind as they have doubled in price in the last few weeks up to £88. from £44. so will be getting a quality tire from falken 510. for less money.

Previous set was Hankook V12 Evo tires. It was pointless to pay 600+eur for those same tire set again. Goodride version was less than 240 eur the whole set.
At the moment, these tires have not traveled much miles, so they can not judge how fast they wear. I hope, 2 or 3 summers maybe they last (my year km is around 60 000 km) and that should be ok. If less than 2 summers, they would be not as good deal.
But the tires are good, the road feeling is very good, the tires are comfortable and soft, yet they do not sink over (like SUV) and road feedback is great (hoped worse before).
It's good with the rain, as well as curves.
The tire noise is significantly less than that of Hankook (while my car has very good noise insulation + thick glasses) tires. When before was quiet, than now is very quiet.
At the moment - should I buy them again - yes, Definitely, if they don't wear away less than 2 summers (less than 100 000 km). If they last longer, then yes. Very good large tire fast 4wd car for Price sensitive customer.
