Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tyres; a tick marks the tyre ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.

Head to head in 6 tests, 2023 to 2026

Each row is one published test in which both tyres ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tyres' figures.

In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 36 m stop against 34.2 m is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 85%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 2 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Every measurement, side by side

Averages of the figures both tyres posted in the same tests. The gap is the average of each test's own gap, so figures from different cars and years are never mixed. Open a discipline for its measurements, and a measurement for every test's figure.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tyres shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Scores beyond the shared tests

On the Tyre Reviews Score, which weighs every test and review we hold, the Advantage All Season scores 9.5 and the Celsius AS2 8.1 out of 10.

Toyo Celsius AS2

  • 82%from 6 reviews
  • 83%would buy again
  • 25,800 milesdriven by reviewers

Drivers report the Toyo Celsius AS2 tyre delivers a notably comfortable, quiet ride with strong wet-road security and good resistance to aquaplaning. Most users also find dry grip solid and winter/snow capability surprisingly competent for an all-season, with only minor impacts on fuel economy. A recurring trade-off is a softer, more comfort-oriented feel that can come across as slightly spongy or less sharp in handling compared with sportier summer tyres.

  • High comfort/ride quality
  • Low road noise
  • Strong wet grip and stability
  • Good resistance to aquaplaning
  • Softer, less sporty steering/handling feel (slightly spongy)

Summarised by AI from 6 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.

This is just my initial review of them after around 1K miles, I've fitted these on my girlfriend's car since both her summer and winter sets were getting long in the tooth. The car doesn't get driven that much, and when it does it's mostly through town so I swallowed my tyre snobbery and decided all-seasons would be a good fit. I didn't get to test them in the snow however so far they've been really good in both wet and dry but what surprised me the most was the ride quality and the (lack of) noise. Fuel consumption doesn't seem to be affected that much either. I got a really good deal on them, less than €60/tyre, when most of the midrange competition is priced at 70 and above so I'm really happy with the purchase. Made in Japan too.

Price in the shared tests The Advantage All Season was the dearer tyre in 1 of the 2 tests that listed prices, by 10% on average. Each test priced the tyres in its own market at the time; only the gap is comparable.

Label grades are shown as the share of registered sizes carrying each grade, so "B (88%), C (12%)" means most sizes are B. Grades vary by size; check the label for yours.

Reading the results

Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.

This head-to-head pits the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season, a touring all-season oriented toward confident year-round grip, against the Toyo Celsius AS2, a premium-touring option that emphasizes longevity and value. Both target everyday drivers, but they approach the brief differently: BFGoodrich leans into traction and braking security, while Toyo prioritizes mileage and cost-efficiency.

Across five shared tests from 2023-2025, a clear pattern emerges. BFGoodrich routinely stops shorter and steers more securely on dry, wet, and especially snowy surfaces, while the Toyo often counters with substantially better wear, lower ownership costs, and competitive aquaplaning and efficiency figures. The result is a trade-off between all-weather performance confidence and long-term value.

Conclusion

BFGoodrich delivers the more rounded driving safety package: consistently shorter dry and wet stops, stronger snow traction and handling, and solid aquaplaning reserves. In multiple tests it out-accelerates and out-brakes the Toyo on snow by meaningful margins (e.g., ~12-17% advantage in snow traction), and typically holds a small but repeatable edge in dry braking and wet handling.

Toyo's strength is durability and cost: markedly longer tread life (circa +29-39% in wear tests) and better value scores, with competitive rolling resistance. If you drive high annual mileage in milder climates and prioritize running costs, the Celsius AS2 is compelling. If you want maximum year-round confidence, especially where winter conditions or heavy rain appear, the BFGoodrich is the safer, more reassuring choice. The practical takeaway: choose BFGoodrich for grip-first security, Toyo for wallet-first longevity.

Where this data comes from

Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tyres ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.

About the TR Score

The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tyres can be compared even before a test has run them together.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
