BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs Viking Fourtech Plus

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 BFGoodrich Advantage All Season is better than the Viking Fourtech Plus 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

BFGoodrich Advantage All Season

• Consistently shorter dry braking (up to ~10% vs Viking)
• Stronger winter performance (snow braking/traction/handling, better ice braking)
• Lower abrasion and often higher projected mileage/value
• Quieter and slightly lower rolling resistance in tests

Viking Fourtech Plus

• Better wet braking across all shared tests
• Stronger curved aquaplaning resistance and competitive straight-line aqua
• Good environmental score in ADAC (low weight/fuel use, long projected mileage there)
• Stable wet handling pace in independent tests

Real World Driver Reviews

Tyre Reviews also collects real world driver reviews for the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season and Viking Fourtech Plus.

In total the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season has been reviewed 0 times and drivers have given the tyre 0% overall.

The Viking Fourtech Plus has been reviewed 1 times and drivers have given the tyre 85% overall.

This means in real world driving, people prefer the Viking Fourtech Plus.

Conclusion

Over multiple tests, the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season delivers the more rounded package: notably shorter dry braking (circa 9-10% advantage in several sizes), stronger snow performance (traction and handling), quieter running, and lower abrasion with solid mileage/value. Its wet braking, however, lags the Viking, and wet handling/aquaplaning are only mid-pack.
The Viking Fourtech Plus is the safer bet if your priority is emergency wet stopping and resistance to curved aquaplaning, though it trails on dry braking, winter precision, and wear in most results. For mixed climates with real winters or drivers who value dry safety and longevity, choose the BFGoodrich. For predominantly wet, mild climates where wet braking is paramount, the Viking makes sense-accepting longer dry stops and average winter bite.

Key Differences

• Dry safety: BFGoodrich stops shorter on dry by ~6-10% across sizes.
• Wet safety: Viking brakes shorter on wet by ~3-6% and leads curved aquaplaning.
• Winter ability: BFGoodrich wins snow traction/braking/handling and ice braking.
• Wear/abrasion: BFGoodrich shows lower abrasion and, in AutoBild, higher mileage; ADAC projects slightly longer mileage for Viking.
• Noise/refinement: BFGoodrich marginally quieter in measured tests.
• Value: BFGoodrich posts better price-per-1,000 km and rolling resistance in the market study.

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.
