Review on BFGoodrich g-Force Winter 2 235/45 R18 98V Winter by Michal Wojcik ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

As such, there are no disadvantages, it is convenient to use.

I bought it to replace the studded Nordman 7. The Nordman failed for only a season - I had to go to Poland for the New Year holidays, but they don’t let me go there on studded tires. At first I thought about taking a car with Velcro from a relative, then I remembered that a few years ago I went with Velcro and didn’t know grief, and then for some reason I switched to spikes. I decided to combine business with pleasure and switch back to Velcro - I bought a new BF Goodrich and sold it to Nordman (I managed to sell it in 2 hours - the rubber was like new, all the spikes were in place). I have not been driving for a long time, but I have already managed to wind 4 thousand kilometers on it. The impressions are purely positive, I am glad that I returned back to the Velcro - silence and comfort after the spikes. On the way to Poland, there were snowfalls, and rains, and frosts, and ice and dry asphalt - everywhere the rubber showed itself normally, it was not scary to drive. On ice, it will probably be worse than studded, but on ice, with gouging driving, no studs will help, you need to turn your head on. With a winter like this year in St. Petersburg - only Velcro.

Pros
  • Excellent tires for sane money - aquaplaning is beyond praise, it holds perfectly, it’s like it doesn’t exist. In rainy and wet weather on wet pavement keeps very confident. It looks soft, it does not tan in frost (not strong, there were no severe frosts - it was not possible to check) On ice - it slows down and starts off, but care should be taken - there are still no spikes. Although no one canceled caution with spikes. In the snow - it rows very, very well, handling does not suffer. Quiet - quieter in the car than in the summer.
Cons
  • I don't know how it will behave on ice. Probably not, like any other non-studded rubber. It has not yet been possible to check - in St. Petersburg winter this year is like autumn, every day it rains and plus. I hope it doesn’t work out - such a winter suits me quite well))
