BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3
Early signs of separation are clear: the Pirelli dominates dry and especially wet braking, and posts higher overall rankings. The BFGoodrich counters with stronger snow performance, lower consumption/rolling resistance in key tests, and often lower cost per 1,000 km-an attractive mix for budget-conscious drivers in colder regions.
Test Results
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been four tests which compare both tyres directly!

While it might look like the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is better than the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.
Key Strengths
- Consistently stronger on snow (braking, traction, handling, slalom)
- Lower rolling resistance and fuel consumption in key tests
- Often quieter and more comfortable
- Competitive value with lower cost per 1,000 km in multiple tests
- Top-tier wet braking and handling with strong aquaplaning reserves
- Shorter dry braking and precise dry-road handling
- Very solid wear/longevity and low abrasion for a premium tyre
- Overall higher test rankings and broader safety margin

In dry conditions manages to have acceptable levels of grip in a straight line, slight wheel spin sometimes but cannot complain since the M2 is RWD 365bhp.
Very strong tyre in the dry and super progressive, really lets you know when it does begin to slip when doing spirited driving. A big strong point as these tyres still allow the vehicle to be driven in a sporting manner.
In the wet they are okay for wet straight line grip, it spins up pretty... Continue reading this review using the link below
Conclusion
The BFGoodrich Advantage All Season excels when winter matters more than rain. It repeatedly leads on snow (braking, traction, handling) and shows advantages in noise, rolling resistance, and fuel consumption in key tests, alongside a friendlier cost profile. For drivers in cooler climates with occasional snow who value efficiency and price, the BFGoodrich offers compelling real-world value.
Key Differences
- Wet safety: Pirelli consistently brakes 5-9% shorter and handles better in the wet
- Dry braking: Pirelli stops shorter across all shared measurements
- Snow performance: BFGoodrich leads in snow braking/traction/handling by small but repeatable margins
- Aquaplaning: Pirelli shows higher straight and curved aquaplaning thresholds
- Efficiency: BFGoodrich posts lower rolling resistance and fuel use in key tests
- Value: BFGoodrich often cheaper per 1,000 km; Pirelli priced higher but with strong overall performance

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
