From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Bridgestone Nextry is generally regarded as a comfortable and quiet tire, favored by drivers of compact and city vehicles for its smooth ride quality. While it performs well in dry conditions and offers impressive longevity, some users report concerns regarding traction loss on wet surfaces as the tire ages.
Pros
- Exceptional ride comfort and softness
- Low road noise levels
- Good steering response and ease of handling
- Impressive tread longevity even under demanding conditions
Cons
- Reduced traction on wet road surfaces
- Potential for slipping during acceleration from a standstill in wet conditions
- Performance degradation noted after the first 10,000km
Observations
- Users driving compact vehicles like the Toyota Yaris and Nissan Tiida report high satisfaction with noise levels and city-driving comfort.
- AWD vehicle owners noted surprisingly capable performance in winter conditions, exceeding expectations for a standard tire.
The Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2 is widely regarded as a high-value, performance-oriented tire that excels in wet and dry braking and handling. While users consistently praise its confidence-inspiring grip and stability, the consensus is tempered by reports of increased road noise as the tread wears and a ride quality that some find stiffer than premium competitors.
Pros
- Excellent wet and dry braking performance
- Strong cornering stability and handling confidence
- High value-for-money proposition compared to premium brands
- Effective hydroplaning resistance
Cons
- Noticeable increase in road noise as the tire ages
- Stiff ride quality that transmits road imperfections
- Inconsistent tread life reports, with some users experiencing premature wear
- Potential decline in wet weather performance as tread depth decreases
Observations
- Users on smaller hatchbacks and sedans (e.g., Proton, Honda Fit) report excellent handling characteristics, though some note the tire feels 'crashy' over potholes.
- Drivers of heavier vehicles or those with stiffer suspensions report that the tire's firm sidewall can lead to a harsh ride on rough surfaces.

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.
