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 Goodyear Assurance All Season is widely regarded as a budget-friendly, comfortable, and quiet tire suitable for daily commuting in moderate climates. While many users report excellent longevity and value, a notable segment of the user base experiences significant premature tread wear and subpar performance in heavy snow or icy conditions.
Pros
- High level of ride comfort and low road noise
- Excellent value for the price point
- Reliable dry and wet weather traction for non-aggressive drivers
- Strong tread life for many users, with some reporting over 60,000 miles
Cons
- Inconsistent tread life, with reports of premature wear well before the warranty limit
- Poor performance in winter conditions, specifically on ice and deep snow
- Occasional reports of vibration and balance issues immediately after installation
- Reduced traction during heavy rain compared to premium alternatives
Observations
- Users on mid-size SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V generally report high satisfaction regarding ride quality and noise levels.
- Drivers of heavier vehicles or those in mountainous, snowy regions report that the tire struggles to maintain grip, suggesting it is better suited for flat, temperate environments.

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.
