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 Hankook Kinergy PT is widely regarded as a high-value, long-lasting all-season tire that offers a quiet and comfortable ride. While most users praise its wet and dry traction, opinions on its winter performance are polarized, and a small subset of users report premature wear or noise issues.
Pros
- Excellent tread life and high mileage warranty
- Quiet and smooth ride quality
- Strong value proposition compared to premium brands like Michelin
- Reliable wet and dry pavement traction
Cons
- Inconsistent performance in deep snow or icy conditions
- Occasional reports of premature tread wear
- Some users report increased road noise over time
- Frustrating rebate fulfillment processes
Observations
- EV owners appreciate the tire's efficiency and quiet operation as a cost-effective alternative to OEM tires.
- SUV and crossover drivers generally report high satisfaction with the tire's stability and ride comfort.
- Some users suggest the tire's stiffer compound is better suited for larger vehicles than smaller, lighter passenger cars.

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.
