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 Yokohama AVID Touring is widely regarded as a high-value, reliable tire that offers a comfortable and quiet ride, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious drivers. While most users praise its longevity and consistent performance across various weather conditions, a minority of users report issues with sidewall softness and occasional traction loss in wet conditions.
Pros
- Excellent price-to-performance ratio
- Quiet and smooth ride quality
- Strong tread life and durability
- Reliable dry and wet road traction for daily commuting
- Easy to balance during installation
Cons
- Reports of soft sidewalls leading to handling instability
- Occasional wheel spin in wet or snowy conditions
- Some users noted road noise or 'tread growl' over time
- Tendency to track or follow grooves in pavement
Observations
- Users with sedans and older passenger cars frequently report that the tire improves ride comfort, making the vehicle feel more stable and substantial.
- Owners of heavier vehicles or those with specific suspension issues noted that the soft sidewall can be more pronounced, potentially impacting steering precision.

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.
