good (1,7)Conclusion: With an overall score of 9.0, BF Goodrich delivered impressive all-round performance. The tire shows particularly strong handling in wet conditions and good resistance to aquaplaning, making it a safe choice for rainy weather. Its dry grip and steering feedback are also noteworthy, and it maintains good control during emergency maneuvers. The tire offers reduced rolling resistance, helping with fuel economy. BF Goodrich's background as part of Michelin is evident in the tire's well-rounded capabilities. | Note: Ranked 2nd out of 8

2022 Summer Tyre Market Overview · 215/55 R17 
satisfactory (2,7)Conclusion: The BFGoodrich Advantage All-Season tire does not surpass a "satisfactory" rating in either driving safety or environmental performance, leading to a satisfactory overall grade. On dry roads, it performs well, offering good steering feedback, precision, and safe handling at the limit, along with a significantly shorter-than-average braking distance. However, on wet surfaces, its performance is only satisfactory. It fails to deliver good results in braking and aquaplaning tests, and its handling is also rated as merely satisfactory because it struggles to combine lateral and longitudinal forces, leading to early understeer or oversteer. In contrast, the tire is convincing in winter conditions, earning good ratings for its braking, traction, and secure handling on snow. Environmentally, the tire just misses a good rating due to its projected mileage, though its wear, fuel consumption, and weight are all rated as good. | Note: Ranked 7th out of 16

2021 Sport Auto Summer Tyre Test · 195/55 R16 87V- satisfactory (3,4)
Conclusion: Testing highlighted relatively low fuel consumption. Drawbacks included weakness in the dry and wet. | Note: Ranked 10th out of 16
2022 ADAC Summer tyre test 15 Inch · 185/65 R15 - satisfactory (3,4)
Conclusion: BFGoodrich’s Advantage fails to achieve a good rating mainly because of poor wet performance and higher wear. Dry-road steering feedback and stability are good, but braking distances are long. On wet roads, braking, aquaplaning and handling are only fair or sufficient, leading to early under- or oversteer. Predicted mileage and efficiency are good, but abrasion is slightly elevated. ADAC therefore gives a conditional recommendation, praising the dry-road handling and high mileage but cautioning about wet-road weaknesses and above-average weight. | Note: Ranked 10th out of 16
2026 ADAC Summer Tyre Test · 225/50 R17 98Y - adequate (3,6)
Conclusion: Testing highlighted impressive performance with short stopping distances on snow and dry roads, good aquaplaning reserves, and high mileage. Drawbacks included moderate grip and extended braking distances in wet conditions. | Note: Ranked 10th out of 15
2024 AutoBild All Season Tyre Test · 225/50 R17 98W Conclusion: The quietest and most comfortable tire on test, low rolling resistance. Drawbacks included low grip in the dry and wet with understeer behaviour and average aquaplaning resistance. | Note: Ranked 9th out of 12
