Review on BFGoodrich g-Force Stud 245/45 R17 99Q winter by Mateusz Czyta ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturer's assurances, high quality.

I've started researching tires for a different vehicle. Comparatively inexpensive Cordiants and Nordmans didn't have stellar evaluations. They're not terrible. However, there are a great deal of acceptable alternatives. Problems with lost spikes and other deficiencies. The remaining brands offer neither exceptional value nor a sense of optimism. The tried and true Goodrich is likely to be our next tire choice.

Pros
  • Affordable without being overpriced. Slightly more affordable than X-ice and Hakkapellit, but still more than snowmax. What a perfect balance. The directional tread design is excellent. It's all poetry, though. Right, so here's what we know for sure. The noise level is about the same as the standard summertime Kalinovskaya Kama-Euro, albeit with the added rattle of spikes on asphalt. All it is is a cheaper version of the Michelin brand. Like a company, but without the accompanying high price tag. Instead than setting magazine records for braking distances and other particular disciplines, Michelin tires focus on more practical benefits, such as silence and fuel efficiency. The maker states that the spike sockets have been reinforced. Even though it used to skid at intersections and during acceleration, I managed to lose none of them over the course of three seasons. Sure, we were off by a hair. But setbacks. possible isolated increases in force. Superb, dogged stopping power in all weather conditions. Methodical care and handling. normal. You're just driving along and nothing interesting happens to capture your notice.
Cons
  • Let's just say that using ABS to slow down on ice isn't exactly relaxing. While asphalt can be polished, ice cannot. As a whole, this is probably par for the course. However, the situation is unclear. It would be more even-keeled if tires had average paving-level braking and ice-level performance. However, if we keep in mind that 90% of our winter driving is done on asphalt, this becomes less of an issue. if that's the case, the alternative option might be better. A moderate speed index Q of 160 km/h is a "flaw" somewhat far-fetched, as a prudent motorist is not likely to exceed 140 km/h on a winter road.
