Review on BFGoodrich Advantage 225/55 R17 101Y summer by Boyan Chakarov ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

Before this kit was "Yokohama C. Drive2". Compared to them, BFG added acoustic comfort, although they lose in visual aesthetics - the sidewalls do not differ in design and look somewhat dull. Tactile rubber compound is elastic, dense, but not rigid. On the pockmarked pavement, the Japanese (2022n-made eloquently began to buzz), but this is not there. At a pressure of 2.2 atmospheres, they look like they are a little underfilled, so I keep the level higher. Pebbles are stuffed into the tread pattern, but during acceleration it all cleans itself. The longitudinal grooves are considerably wide. (! ) And I will separately note the thermophilicity of these tires. Although in the cool and not hardened (I put them when it was +5 - +6 ° C outside), but after parking, it is felt that they fully reveal themselves only after warming up.

Pros
  • I set myself in the dimension [215/55/16 _97Y], produced in Poland. Driving experience is a delight. Soft enough, the rumble when driving on a chipped surface does not drive you crazy. A friend who appreciated the noise when driving was pleasantly surprised by the noise characteristics. They brake in extreme mode with dignity, they don’t squeal. In sharp turns, it has not been possible to bring it to a squeak yet. On the water they behave perfectly, directional stability does not suffer. I didn't notice "buoyancy" at speeds (I had occasion to accelerate in the range from 150 to 180 km/h). The weight in my dimension was approximately 8.050 g per tire (analogue scales).
Cons
  • It seemed not the most ideal when balancing: on one pair of weights 15g each, on another wheel 20g. and on the last - as much as 40g. These are dreams. After rolling for about 900 km. , the balancer repeated. 1 pair without weights, and the second 5 and 10g. and there is a nuance in the tread plane, although it is not felt when driving. At the tire shop they advised to pump up a little higher than the standard due to their softness. Outwardly, the sidewalls are not the most beautiful.
