From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The BFGoodrich gGrip is widely regarded as a high-value, durable tire that offers impressive longevity and consistent performance for daily driving. While some users note a lack of sharp steering feedback and occasional noise as the tread wears, the consensus highlights it as a reliable, cost-effective alternative to premium brands.
Pros
- Excellent value for money compared to premium competitors
- High tread life and durability
- Strong, predictable grip in both dry and wet conditions
- Smooth and comfortable ride quality
Cons
- Lack of steering feel and handling feedback
- Increased noise levels as the tire wears
- Soft sidewalls which may feel less precise during spirited driving
- Occasional reports of inconsistent wet-weather traction
Observations
- Users with high-torque diesel vehicles report excellent tread longevity compared to more expensive performance brands.
- Drivers of smaller, lighter hatchbacks appreciate the tire's balance of comfort and durability, though some noted a lack of 'sporty' feedback.
- Owners of larger sedans and estates (e.g., Audi A6, Ford Mondeo) report that the tires handle heavy loads and towing duties effectively.
The Firestone F700 presents a polarizing experience, often categorized as an early-generation eco-tire that offers acceptable dry-weather performance but struggles with consistency in wet conditions. While some users report satisfactory longevity and comfort, others cite significant issues with uneven tread wear and high road noise, leading to a mixed overall reception.
Pros
- Reliable dry-weather traction
- Good steering feedback and handling characteristics
- Competitive tread life for some users
- Smooth and comfortable ride quality
Cons
- Inconsistent wet-weather grip and braking performance
- High levels of road noise
- Prone to uneven or irregular tread wear patterns
- Tendency to lose traction when pushed beyond moderate driving
Observations
- Users operating the tire on older compact vehicles, such as the Vauxhall Astra, report varying experiences ranging from high satisfaction to concerns over wet-weather stability.
- Longevity appears highly variable, with some users reporting premature wear while others note slow tread degradation over high mileage.

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.
