From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The BFGoodrich Advantage T/A receives a polarized reception, with the user highlighting significant concerns regarding the consistency and predictability of the tire compound. While it may offer improved grip levels compared to certain entry-level alternatives, the lack of reliability across varying temperature ranges makes it a difficult recommendation for performance-oriented driving.
Pros
- Improved grip levels compared to baseline tires like the XM2
- Adequate stiffness in cold weather conditions
Cons
- Highly unpredictable compound performance
- Poor heat resistance leading to a 'mushy' feel in hot weather
- Lack of confidence-inspiring grip in cold and wet conditions
Observations
- The XL (Extra Load) variant does not mitigate the fundamental issues with the tire's compound construction.
The Dunlop Geomax MX51 is highly regarded for its superior traction and durability compared to its predecessor, the D756. Users report excellent performance in sandy conditions with minimal signs of tread wear even after extended use.
Pros
- Enhanced grip and bite for both front and rear tires
- Exceptional durability and longevity in sandy terrain
- Significant performance improvement over previous models
Observations
- Performance is specifically noted as highly effective in sandy riding conditions.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
