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 three 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 (≈9-10% advantage)
• Stronger winter performance (snow braking/traction/handling, plus better ice braking)
• Lower abrasion and generally quieter
• Better value metrics (price-to-performance, rolling resistance) with solid wear

Viking Fourtech Plus

• Shorter wet braking and better wet handling trends
• Stronger curved aquaplaning resistance
• Good environmental efficiency (ADAC: low wear/weight, very low fuel use)
• Stable, safe overall wet-road behavior

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 times and drivers have given the tyre 0% overall.

Conclusion

Across multiple tests, BFGoodrich is the more rounded performer with clear edges in dry braking, winter capability (snow traction/braking/handling), noise, abrasion, and value, while Viking counters with better wet stopping and stronger aquaplaning performance. The BFGoodrich's shorter dry stops (≈9-10% shorter), higher snow traction, and lower abrasion make it feel safer and more consistent year-round, particularly for mixed climates and budget-conscious buyers aiming for longevity. Viking's appeal is sharper if your priority is confidence in heavy rain and wet braking, and its ADAC environmental score benefits from projected mileage and low consumption.

Key Differences

• Dry braking: BFGoodrich stops ~4 m shorter (≈10%) in both 2024 and 2025 tests
• Wet braking: Viking leads (−6% in AutoBild; slight edge on concrete and overall wet in ADAC)
• Aquaplaning: Viking better in curved; BFGoodrich slightly better or similar in straight
• Winter: BFGoodrich clearly ahead in snow traction/braking/handling and ice braking
• Wear/abrasion: Mixed wear (ADAC favors Viking mileage; AutoBild favors BFGoodrich), but BFGoodrich has notably lower abrasion
• Refinement/value: BFGoodrich quieter and scored better on value/rolling resistance; Viking scored higher on ADAC environmental rating

Overall Winner: BFGoodrich Advantage All Season

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.
