From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
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.
The Yokohama E70D db is a polarizing touring tire that prioritizes cabin comfort and low noise levels, often serving as an OEM fitment. While some users praise its quiet operation and smooth ride quality, others report significant concerns regarding tread longevity and inconsistent performance in emergency braking scenarios.
Pros
- High levels of cabin comfort and ride smoothness
- Effective noise reduction compared to many competing touring tires
- Suitable for daily commuting and long-distance touring
- Generally positive initial impressions regarding road feel
Cons
- Reports of premature tread wear and rapid balding
- Concerns regarding stopping distances and safety in emergency situations
- Inconsistent noise performance, with some users reporting high road noise on rough surfaces
- Lack of high-performance handling characteristics
Observations
- Users on hybrid vehicles have reported mixed experiences, with some noting faster-than-expected tread wear despite careful driving habits.
- The tire is frequently noted as an OEM fitment on mid-sized sedans and MPVs, where its comfort-oriented design is most apparent.

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.
