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 Kumho Solus KH21 receives a mixed reception, with users divided between those who appreciate its value and durability for daily commuting and those who find its performance lacking under spirited driving conditions. While some drivers report satisfactory grip in varied weather, others highlight significant concerns regarding wet-weather traction and audible noise levels as the tire ages.
Pros
- Competitive price point compared to premium alternatives
- Acceptable dry and wet grip for standard, non-aggressive driving
- Decent tread longevity for daily use
Cons
- Significant loss of wet-weather performance after initial wear
- High levels of road noise and audible squealing during cornering
- Inconsistent grip levels on varying asphalt surfaces
- Noticeably stiff ride quality during the initial break-in period
Observations
- Users driving older, economy-focused vehicles like the Renault Scenic reported satisfactory performance for standard commuting needs.
- Drivers transitioning from premium all-season tires noted a firmer ride quality and increased noise levels.

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.
