Tires Review

The Assurance WeatherReady promises better snow traction than a regular touring/grand-touring all-season tire, but what about other traits? I mean, it would be worthless if it didn’t work well in dry and wet conditions, right?

Fortunately, I installed the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady on my 2012 Subaru Outback and experienced it in all different weather conditions.

Based on the performance of the tires I prepared this Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady review, where you’ll be able to learn everything there is to know about the tire. So, without further ado, let’s dig in!

Cooper is a reputable brand trusted by many drivers. Therefore, Cooper tires are rated quite good quality to provide you with a great driving feeling.

So Cooper Endeavor plus is an exception? What features has the manufacturer equipped for this tire model?

If you are considering using Endeavor Plus and are curious about its driving experience, check out the information contained in the article below.

The Goodyear Assurance MaxLife has one real flaw – the lower traction and grip on snow-covered roads than its main rivals, especially on packed snow.

However, if you live in areas where it doesn’t snow frequently, it immediately starts to make sense and might be the best touring all-season tire for you.

Namely, the Assurance MaxLife delivers excellent dry and wet traction and combines that with stellar treadlife with a quiet and comfortable ride, characteristics that are not easy to find in other tires.

For instance, the TrueContact Tour is slightly better in rainy and snowy conditions, though you will sacrifice a bit of durability.

Hence, if you are in the market for a set of touring all-season tires, you should definitely give the Assurance MaxLife a look!

Nexen is known as one of Korea’s first tire brands. It may not be manufactured in the US; however, the combination of reasonable quality and low cost can make this tire well worth your consideration.

After a long time of experiencing many Nexen tires, I offer the detailed Nexen tires review as a reliable reference to help you choose the suitable one.

Goodyear, one of the largest tire manufacturers in the world, promises that its newly-launched Assurance ComfortDrive tire provides the driver with good year-round traction while also improving the fuel economy.

However, the Assurance ComfortDrive is a grand-touring all-season tire, meaning it should do other things well. Particularly, buyers are increasingly aware of ride comfort and noise, and that’s another area that fuel-efficient tires usually suffer at. But Goodyear also thought of that when designing this tire and even put “comfort” in the name.

This, of course, brings us to the question – is the Assurance ComfortDrive any good? You’ll have the answer to the question in my in-depth review down below, where I’ll tell you how the tire performs in various weather conditions, how comfortable it is, how long it lasts, and compare it to its closest rivals. Let’s dig in!

Sumitomo has built its reputation as a reliable tire manufacturer with its high-performance and premium product lines. You can easily find many top-tier tires in many categories at a very affordable price from this brand.

Nevertheless, there isn’t a perfect product, and the Sumitomo tires are no exception. So, what should you expect when choosing Sumitomo tires? What makes them stand out from the other products?

In this Sumitomo tires review, I will give you an overview of the top features of this brand and help you gain more insights into its main tire series.

Now let’s jump straight in!

The Assurance All-Season is a tire that excels in most areas, but it suffers in perhaps the most important one – wet traction.

Like its winter-focused and more premium sibling, the Assurance Weather-Ready, the “All-Season” suffers from lower traction and grip in rainy conditions than the class-leading tires. For the price, Goodyear should’ve done better.

Still, if you can live with the limitations (drive a bit slower), there is a lot to like here.

The Assurance All-Season is one of the most comfortable tires I tried, drives well in the dry, and is surprisingly good over light snow.

Hence, if you are in the market for a new set of affordable all-season tires, give it a look!

The Michelin X Tour A/S T+H is undoubtedly an exceptional touring all-season tire, as it does all important things right. Namely, it is among the leaders in the category on dry, wet, and snowy tarmac; it also provides a reasonably comfortable ride and comes with an exceptional treadwear warranty.

But what about the Defender T+H? Well, if you are a Costco member and the sizes on offer fit your vehicle, you should definitely go for the X Tour A/S, as you’ll probably get it cheaper. However, if you are not a member, I’d say buy the Defender T+H, as it’s more readily available at other retailers. Regardless, both tires are excellent.

If you own a crossover or SUV and you want a dependable year-round tire solution, then you should go for a set of crossover/SUV all-season tires. But which model to go for among the plethora of options available on the market?

Even Michelin has four options in this category, and each one offers a different set of qualities. However, the Premier LTX seems like the best option for most people, as it promises good treadlife, best-in-class wet traction and lateral grip, solid wintertime traction, and a comfortable ride.

The thing is, though, the Premier LTX is very expensive, and most of the competition promises the same things. So, should you pay more for Michelin’s offering or save the cash and spend it on something else? I’ll uncover everything in my in-depth Michelin Premier LTX review!

Car enthusiasts frown at the thought of an all-season tire on their sports cars, but the benefits of these tires are obvious. You not only get solid dry and wet traction, but you won’t need to replace them in the winter, and on top of that, you get a much better treadlife than any summer tire.

And is there a better company to change your mind than Michelin? The French tiremaker says it ensured its UHP all-season tire, the Pilot Sport All Season 4, deserves the performance moniker while also delivering year-round traction.

Does it really deliver, though? Let’s find out in my in-depth Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 review!
