From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The BFGoodrich g-Grip All Season 2 is widely regarded as a high-value, durable tire that excels in diverse weather conditions, including heavy snow and extreme temperature fluctuations. While it offers impressive longevity and comfort, performance-oriented drivers may find the sidewall softness and handling characteristics less engaging compared to dedicated summer performance tires.
Pros
- Exceptional tread longevity and durability over high mileage.
- Strong, reliable grip in wet, snowy, and icy conditions.
- High levels of ride comfort and low road noise.
- Excellent value proposition compared to premium-tier competitors.
Cons
- Noticeable sidewall softness leading to a 'mushy' feel during aggressive cornering.
- Not suitable for high-horsepower rear-wheel-drive vehicles due to traction limitations.
- Requires a warm-up period to reach optimal operating grip levels.
- Unconventional steering feedback that may require an adjustment period for some drivers.
Observations
- High-performance vehicles (e.g., Tesla Model 3 Performance) report excellent all-weather capability and longevity, though drivers accustomed to dedicated performance tires may dislike the handling dynamics.
- High-horsepower rear-wheel-drive vehicles experience significant traction loss and wheel chatter under acceleration, indicating the tire is not suited for performance-oriented driving styles.
The Riken All Star 2 is viewed as a polarizing budget-tier tire that serves as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment. While some users appreciate its value proposition for light-duty city driving, others report significant concerns regarding premature wear and overall durability compared to premium alternatives.
Pros
- Attractive low price point
- Acceptable noise levels for budget-conscious drivers
- Adequate stopping performance in light city conditions
Cons
- Poor tread longevity and durability
- Failure to meet safety inspection standards within a year
- Inconsistent quality compared to premium tire brands
Observations
- Users operating smaller, lighter vehicles like the Daewoo Matiz reported acceptable noise levels and curb-climbing capability.
- The tire is frequently criticized when used as a direct replacement for higher-end performance tires, highlighting a significant gap in material longevity.

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.
