From owners

Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A General Exclaim UHP

The General Exclaim UHP is widely regarded as a high-value tire that leans more toward touring comfort than aggressive track performance. While users praise its impressive tread life and wet-weather capabilities, it is noted for having a softer sidewall that may lack the precision required for spirited driving.

Pros

  • Excellent tread life and longevity
  • Strong wet-weather traction
  • High value-to-price ratio
  • Comfort-oriented ride quality

Cons

  • Soft sidewall leading to undulation during transitions
  • Limited performance in snow and winter conditions
  • Dry traction falls short of premium UHP standards

Observations

  • Lightweight RWD roadsters like the Mazda Miata find the tire capable for daily driving, though winter performance is compromised by the drivetrain layout.
  • The tire's design characteristics are better suited for touring-style vehicles rather than dedicated performance-focused applications.
Tire B Goodyear Assurance All-Season

The Goodyear Assurance All Season is widely regarded as a budget-friendly, comfortable, and quiet tire suitable for daily commuting in moderate climates. While many users report excellent longevity and value, a notable segment of the user base experiences significant premature tread wear and subpar performance in heavy snow or icy conditions.

Pros

  • High level of ride comfort and low road noise
  • Excellent value for the price point
  • Reliable dry and wet weather traction for non-aggressive drivers
  • Strong tread life for many users, with some reporting over 60,000 miles

Cons

  • Inconsistent tread life, with reports of premature wear well before the warranty limit
  • Poor performance in winter conditions, specifically on ice and deep snow
  • Occasional reports of vibration and balance issues immediately after installation
  • Reduced traction during heavy rain compared to premium alternatives

Observations

  • Users on mid-size SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V generally report high satisfaction regarding ride quality and noise levels.
  • Drivers of heavier vehicles or those in mountainous, snowy regions report that the tire struggles to maintain grip, suggesting it is better suited for flat, temperate environments.

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.
