From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Avon AX7 is widely regarded as a high-value, versatile all-terrain tire that excels in balancing on-road comfort with capable off-road performance. Users consistently praise its quiet ride and impressive durability, making it a popular choice for daily drivers and rural commuters who encounter mixed terrain.
Pros
- Excellent on-road comfort and low noise levels for an all-terrain tire
- Strong value proposition with competitive pricing
- Reliable traction on dry, gravel, and mud surfaces
- Good tread longevity under high-mileage usage
Cons
- Increased susceptibility to aquaplaning in heavy rain
- Softer sidewalls can lead to body roll during spirited cornering
- Occasional reports of increased noise in cold weather conditions
Observations
- Owners of SUVs like the VW Touareg and Kia Sportage reported significant improvements in ride comfort compared to previous road-biased tires.
- Drivers noted that the softer sidewall construction benefits comfort but may require higher tire pressures to maintain stability during aggressive driving.
The Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV is widely regarded as a premium touring tire that excels in comfort, noise reduction, and longevity. While it is not designed for sporty handling, it provides a safe, reliable, and fuel-efficient experience for everyday SUV and crossover drivers.
Pros
- Exceptional ride comfort and road noise suppression
- Impressive tread longevity and durability
- Strong wet and dry road traction for touring purposes
- Positive impact on fuel economy and MPG
Cons
- Soft sidewalls can lead to a lack of steering feedback and 'mushy' handling
- Lack of rim protection
- Poor performance in cold, near-freezing temperatures
- Susceptibility to sidewall damage due to thin construction
Observations
- Users on 19-inch wheels report a good balance of comfort and stability for highway commuting.
- Drivers of older SUVs (e.g., E83 X3) noted a significant upgrade in ride quality compared to previous tires, though some expressed concerns regarding sidewall robustness.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
