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 Yokohama Avid Ascend is widely regarded as a high-value, all-season tire that excels in wet weather performance and ride comfort. While most users report significant improvements in traction and noise levels compared to factory-installed tires, a small subset of owners has raised concerns regarding premature tread wear and occasional manufacturing defects.
Pros
- Exceptional wet weather traction and hydroplaning resistance
- High value-to-performance ratio compared to premium competitors
- Smooth and quiet ride quality
- Reliable handling in light snow and slushy conditions
Cons
- Reports of premature or uneven tread wear in some instances
- Occasional noise issues on dry pavement
- Isolated reports of tires going out of round after moderate mileage
Observations
- Subaru Forester owners frequently cite these as a superior upgrade for both comfort and all-weather capability.
- Users of AWD vehicles, including the Audi A4 and Toyota Sienna, report high satisfaction with the tire's handling in mixed precipitation.
- Hybrid vehicle owners noted that the tire maintains fuel efficiency comparable to factory specifications.

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.
