Review on BFGoodrich g-Force Winter 2 235/45 R18 98V Winter by Wiktor Fokt ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Completely standard product, nothing remarkable.

When I purchased it, I had the expectation that it would have features that were comparable to those of the Michelin Alpine 5. Sadly, the answer is no. There is a little hum along with a hiss coming from it, and it is most audible when traveling on a wet road at a speed of 80–90 kilometers per hour. It is fairly decent in the primary part of the operation in the conditions of our European winter; however, we must always keep in mind that while departing for a region with ice, this rubber does not retain the car in any way. Starting on ice or on snow that has been packed down will also be difficult, especially on an incline. When driving on snow porridge, there are no unique delights to be had, and if the layer of snow porridge is more than three centimeters thick, you won't feel very confident behind the wheel. It is unfortunate that Alpine 5 is not offered in an 18-inch size. I can't believe I actually spent money on it. I am taken aback by the enormous number of glowing testimonials and the product's overall rating of five stars; these are, at most, suitable for a four-door vehicle. I do not suggest.

Pros
  • Very gentle, and it flows nicely. Excellent performance on dry and wet pavement, as well as in puddles. Acceptable when fed snow porridge. Pretty economical.
Cons
  • On ice - none, just no grip. There is a rumble, or to be more specific, a resonant hum traveling at 80–90 kilometers per hour.
