BFGoodrich Advantage 2



Description

The BFGoodrich Advantage 2 is a summer touring tire engineered for passenger cars and SUVs in the European market. Positioned within Michelin Group's portfolio, this tire represents BFGoodrich's on-road focus, balancing wet-road safety with mileage expectations. The tread pattern incorporates multiple circumferential grooves—configuration varies by size—optimized for water evacuation. Construction utilizes a new compound formulation designed to improve rolling resistance while maintaining wet adhesion.

Features & Benefits

  • EU wet grip classification "A": Achieves top-tier wet braking performance through optimized groove geometry and silica-based compound formulation
  • Wet braking distance reduction: 5% improvement versus previous generation equates to approximately 1.6 meters shorter stopping distance from relevant speeds (based on internal testing 225/45 R17 94Y)
  • Rolling resistance optimization: Average 6% improvement through redesigned lamellas and compound adjustments, reducing fuel consumption across driving cycles
  • Tread life extension: 5% projected mileage increase compared to prior generation, lowering long-term replacement frequency
  • Balancing tread wear indicator: Visual reference points help identify irregular wear development before it compromises performance
  • Hydroplaning resistance: Enhanced groove design pushes water laterally from contact patch, maintaining directional control in standing water
  • European certification: Manufactured in Europe, meeting regional regulatory standards and labeling requirements

Year Released

Second quarter 2025. This model replaces the previous generation BFGoodrich Advantage in the European summer tire lineup.
