BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A

Strong spec profile
Estimated from manufacturer specs (UTQG, warranty, speed rating)
Scouter Analysis
The BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize treadlife and dry handling in a max performance summer tire. Its UTQG treadwear rating of 380 is notably above the category average, suggesting longer life than many competitors. However, it lacks a treadwear warranty, which might deter those concerned about longevity. In the max performance summer category, dry grip and handling are key, and the g-Force Phenom T/A delivers with scores of 8 in both areas. However, its wet grip score of 7 falls short of the category average, which could be a concern in rainy conditions. Comfort and noise levels are average, aligning with typical expectations for this performance-focused category. When compared to competitors like the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 and Falken Azenis FK510, the g-Force Phenom T/A stands out for its treadlife but falls behind in wet grip. The Firehawk Indy 500, in particular, offers better wet performance, making it a more suitable option for those frequently driving in wet conditions. If wet performance is a priority, consider the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. However, if you're looking for a tire with good dry handling and above-average treadlife without a warranty, the g-Force Phenom T/A is worth considering.
