Review on BFGoodrich g-Force Stud 215/60 R16 99Q winter by Stanislaw Kesicki ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

Now I'm looking at tires for another car again. For comparison, I looked at similar budget Cordiants or Nordmans, the reviews are not very good. They are not bad. But there are many good or satisfactory ones. Spikes are lost, other shortcomings . And the rest of the brands are nothing particularly outstanding, or not cheap and not cheerful. We will probably take the proven Goodrich again.

Pros
  • Inexpensive and not cheap. More expensive than snowmax, but cheaper than X-ice or Hakkapellit. Such a golden mean. Nice directional tread pattern. But it's all poetry. Now the facts. Moderately quiet, spikes rattle on asphalt, of course, but in general it is comparable to the summer regular Kalinovskaya Kama-Euro. This is nothing but a cheaper Michelin. Like a firm, and at the same time - inexpensive. In general, Michelin tires, instead of records for braking distances and other special disciplines from magazines, have more pragmatic advantages, such as quietness or economy. The manufacturer claims reinforced spike sockets. Bottom line: in three seasons, I didn’t lose a single one, although it used to skid at intersections and during acceleration. Were a little off, yes. But losses . maybe single spikes from strength. Excellent, tenacious braking on dry and wet pavement. Handling with patency . normal. Nothing special catches your eye, you just drive and that's it.
Cons
  • Let's just say, it's not very comfortable to slow down on ice with ABS. However, polished ice is not the same as asphalt. In general, this is probably average. But the situation is ambiguous. A tire with average braking properties on pavement and excellent on ice would be more balanced. On the other hand, if we remember that we drive on asphalt in winter 90% of the time . then the optimal choice may be the opposite. A modest speed index Q - 160 km / h - a "flaw" rather far-fetched, a reasonable driver is unlikely to run more than 140 on a winter road.
