The focus of this comparison is the BFGoodrich Advantage tyre and the Dunlop Sport BluResponse tyre; esteemed models from these two reputable tyre manufacturers, BFGoodrich and Dunlop.
Examining several tests and reviews, we find that both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses. For instance, the BFGoodrich Advantage tyre achieved high marks for comfort and dry handling. However, it does show a tendency to understeer in wet conditions. The Dunlop Sport BluResponse tyre excelled in terms of rolling resistance and comfort but showed minor weaknesses with wet braking and overall environmental performance.
When we refer to the Autobild test results, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse tyre had a higher standing at 11th out of 53 tyres, while the BFGoodrich Advantage tyre held the 18th position. The ADAC results also make a similar case. In a pool of 16 tyres, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse claimed the 5th position, and the BFGoodrich Advantage took the 10th place. So, overall in terms of mutual test positions, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse seems to lead.
Though some concerns were mentioned in tests for the Dunlop Sport BluResponse, such as slight issues with wet braking and environmental performance, it is still lauded for good dry handling and aquaplaning resistance. On the other hand, the BFGoodrich Advantage tyre wins praise for its dry handling, low rolling resistance, and price point, but its wet handling left something to be desired.
From the data gathered, it appears that the Dunlop Sport BluResponse tyre tends to outperform the BFGoodrich Advantage in most measured criteria and tests. However, that is not to say the BFGoodrich Advantage tyre should be dismissed, as it is an affordable option, especially significant if budget is a primary consideration. It is also important to note that neither of these tyre models have been replaced by newer versions at the time of this comparison.
In summary, while both the BFGoodrich Advantage and the Dunlop Sport BluResponse are summer type tyres that could be fitting choices depending on your driving habits, area climate, and budget, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse shows a slightly better performance in tests.
