- Hey guys, what's going on,
it's Alex from Fitment Industries.
And today we're gonna be taking a look
at another dry review on a tire.
So we did the Toyo Proxes R888R,
we did the Michelin Pilot Sport 4Ss,
and now we're taking a look at a different tire.
We're taking a look at the BFGoodrich Advantage TA Sport.
So this is something that is
on one of our employee cars again.
He has a BMW, I believe it's a 328D.
Now Parker, the owner of this car,
actually does quite a bit of non-BMW stuff in his BMW.
He does a lot of off-roading.
He does a lot of remote driving.
He drives a lot on uneven, dirty, just messy dangerous roads
because he goes camping, he goes out
in the middle of nowhere and that's what he enjoys to do.
So this isn't your typical BMW,
but he wanted to get some tires that would be able
to last a long time, that were gonna get the job done,
and were actually gonna survive
where he was planning on taking the car.
So he ended up getting the BFGoodriches.
Now these TAs are actually a very good tire.
So these are more of, I don't know,
they're not necessarily a sport tire by any means,
but they are just a decent long-term tire.
These specific tires are at 245 45.
They put on as Koenigs; they actually ended up picking up,
which we'll probably drop a little clip there for you.
But they're really, really good.
They've got a 60,000 mile warranty,
which obviously most people would not really have
on an all-season, but BFGoodrich is like,
"Screw it, we'll give you a 60K mileage warranty,"
and they said, "Sure."
On top of that, they got the 600 tread wear.
So in terms of BFGoodrich and the products that they offer,
having a 600 is actually really, really good.
And if you're wondering what that means
in regards to the point system,
we actually do an entire video on that,
that we'll also let you know about.
So Parker has about 10,000 miles on these tires already
and they've been doing absolutely insane.
So what Parker's telling us
is that they have superior wet traction.
They do a great job off-road; they do a great job in gravel.
And the noise isn't that bad.
On normal roads, you don't hear a thing, but on the gravel,
it actually doesn't pick up too much,
which is awesome considering what you're trying
to do with the tire, which is cool.
BFGoodrich is a really good tire
and it really does specialize in a lot of the mud stuff,
a lot of the, I would say, more just industrial,
I guess, if you wanted to call it that.
But one thing it's not super great at is it has,
I would say, probably average drive performance.
It's not gonna be crazy-good, it's not gonna be terrible,
but it's definitely not gonna be anything too nuts.
So if you're looking to get something that is superior
on dry traction on the roads, probably not the tire for you.
But if you're looking for something
that's gonna be great in a lot of cases,
but not perfect in any single one case, the BFGoodrich,
the Advantage, the TA is a great choice.
They last a long time;
they're gonna be out there for a long time.
The traction path is very good.
In terms about why you would buy these, you'd buy these
for the fact of the longevity that this tire has.
And that's actually why Parker even bought these.
He wanted something that he could take on long trips
that he wouldn't have to worry about the tires
in terms of any sort of reliability issues.
He knew that the dry traction wasn't gonna be superb,
but it definitely is giving him everything
that he needs in all the other inclement weather.
So I would rate it just a hairline below a winter tire,
because it even does good in the snow.
It does give him pretty much everything.
And that's what's really cool about these tires,
the fact that it is such a long mileage, good tire.
It's not gonna terribly break the bank
but it's gonna give you a good bang for your buck
for what you want, as long as what you're doing
is more of using your vehicle
for not just driving on the road
but also maybe going down some dirt paths
with also taking it off-road and things like that.
Now again, this is a 328D, so you probably wouldn't
be used to hearing that in the same sentence,
but that's what Parker uses this for.
The only thing that I've heard that we've had
a couple of issues with, which isn't necessarily a problem,
it's just something that you have to take into account
if you're trying to get an all-in-one tire,
is that these tires themselves have a lot of sidewall flex.
And that's just the purpose of the compound
that the Advantage in comparison to other tires
that we've tested out there in the past.
But because you have more sidewall flex,
if you're actually giving it a good run for your money,
you're gonna have some issues
in terms of actual cornering traction, traction paths,
and just overall, you know, traction in general.
Because you have so much flex, it's gonna be hard for you
to get where you need to go around a turn
if you're driving, let's just call it spiritedly.
So the Advantage is a great tire.
It's definitely one that if you're looking
for something long-term, I'd highly recommend it.
The sizing is gonna be pretty plentiful
between the low 200s up to 255.
And you're gonna see average sidewall sizes
from the 35 to the 45 to the 55.
So we hope you guys enjoyed; let us know
what you think in the comments below.
We'll drop a link if you're interested
in this tire or if you wanna know more.
But I'm Alex from Fitment Industries
and we'll see you later, peace!
