The BFGoodrich Advantage Control is a solid choice for those seeking a touring all-season tire with strong dry grip and a comfortable ride. Its 8.5 dry grip score exceeds the category average, making it a reliable performer on dry roads. The 65,000-mile treadwear warranty slightly edges out the category average, suggesting good longevity.
However, the tire's wet grip score of 5.5 is a notable shortcoming, falling below the category average of 6.9. This could be a concern for drivers in rainy climates. The B traction grade further underscores this limitation, especially when compared to competitors like the Continental ProContact TX, which might offer better wet-road performance.
In terms of positioning, the Advantage Control offers a comfortable and quiet ride, matching the category's comfort and noise benchmarks. While it lacks the 3PMSF rating for winter conditions, it remains a viable option for those who don't require winter-specific capabilities. If wet grip is a priority, consider the Continental ProContact TX as an alternative. For those focused on comfort and dry performance, the Advantage Control remains a compelling option.
