From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
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.
The Nexen Roadian H/T is a polarizing tire that offers impressive tread longevity and value for budget-conscious drivers, but it is severely hampered by excessive road noise. While some users appreciate its durability and cost-effectiveness, the majority of reviewers report a persistent humming sound that is frequently mistaken for mechanical bearing failure.
Pros
- Excellent tread life and durability
- High value-for-money compared to premium brands
- Reliable performance for towing and general highway use
- Adequate dry and wet grip for daily driving
Cons
- Excessive and intrusive road noise
- Prone to picking up and retaining gravel in tread patterns
- Weak sidewall construction susceptible to punctures
- Poor handling characteristics including understeer
Observations
- Owners of heavier vehicles like the Mercedes ML500 and Land Rover models reported significant dissatisfaction, specifically citing noise levels that mimicked wheel bearing failure.
- Users noted that while the tire performs well for high-mileage towing, the sidewall integrity may be insufficient for demanding off-road terrain.

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.
