From owners

Pros, cons & observations

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

Tire A 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.
Tire B Nexen CP671

The Nexen CP671 is generally regarded as a durable, budget-friendly tire that offers reliable grip in both wet and dry conditions. While users appreciate its longevity and consistent handling, the experience is often tempered by noticeable road noise and structural aging issues over time.

Pros

  • Impressive tread longevity and lifespan
  • Reliable traction in both wet and dry weather
  • Predictable and stable handling characteristics

Cons

  • Significant road noise and cabin roar
  • Directional tread pattern complicates tire rotation
  • Tendency for rubber cracking as the tire ages

Observations

  • Demonstrated strong durability on compact diesel vehicles, achieving 30,000 miles with remaining tread depth.

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.
