I needed a tire to match the others on my all wheel drive vehicle after the tires had been discontinued. The price was great and it worked out perfectly.

These are a high mileage and fuel efficient tire. They are quiet compared to my old continental pro contact tires. They are above average quiet, not super quiet, but good for the money. I have not had any issues with contact on the road in summer conditions or rain after a month of use. The tires do not grip well on grooved concrete at highway speeds. My car tends to move a tad to the left and right. My guess as to why they sway a tad is because they are meant to last and not cement themselves to the road so the less surface area due to the grooves causes less contact with the rubber.I do live in wisconsin and will update my review when snow hit in a couple months. But, so far I like them. I paid $75 a tire when they were on sale and for the quietness, efficiency and longevity I am happy for the price. I would pay $100 each just because of the warranty. Also I did not notice a drop in my mpg’s.Update 11/11/14: Had a small snowfall yesterday morning. I tried to drive a bit aggressive to see if they slipped and they did not. I was driving in a slushy mix. That was down a road about 1/8 of a mile so I did not get a good feel or them in the snow, but so far so good.Update 1/24/15: As of today the tires are still solid and give a good amount of grip in the snow and wet conditions. I did drive through a ton of slush on day and although it was difficult to travel in, the tires did a better job than what I am used to.

Overall a great tire. I was surprised at how much quieter these tires were over the Michelins that were on our car. In fairness though the Michelins were very worn down when we purchased the car. Haven’t had much of a chance to try them in the snow but the little we have had thus far I was happy. Very good in the rain as well. We have put about 10,000 miles on them so far I think and don’t have any complaints at all, just wish we could get them closer to $100/tire!

Great tire rides well and handles well on wet and slippery roads . Wearing even with not a lot of road noise . But next time I will be getting a little more aggressive tread for better traction in snow . Over all I am happy with the tire .

I have been using this tire on my Sienna for years and love it. It is quiet, lasts a long time, holds the road nicely, and provides good wet traction. Traction in the snow or ice is fine, although not great, but I’m using it on a 2WD minivan and didn’t expect much on the snow and ice.

Quiet on the highway, confident handling and super traction in heavy rain. I did a lot of research prior to purchase and it paid off – after 3 months of heavy use, I feel great about having chosen these tires.Update: one year later. Did I mention these tires are quiet – a year of hard driving and they’re still so quiet it’s actually spooky. We’ve driven on snow,, on ice, on murderous ice with cables, through torrents of rain pummeled by outrageous winds and, of course, traversed all kinds of dry road surfaces – complete perfection. They still corner like a dream and inspire confidence under all conditions. Simply the best tire I have ever owned and the best part is they show minimal wear after a year, no hardening, no oxidation. I highly recommend these tires for the 2008 Honda Odyssey.

I installed these on a Honda Fit Sport. Very quite ride. We got 4 inches of snow the day after I put them on the car. I am the guy that plows the snow, so when I go into work, the roads aren’t plowed. These tires handled very well in the snow. When I ordered these, I couldn’t find a tread life warranty. It is 75,000 miles. I’m impressed! I’ve only had these tires on the car for 4 days now, so I cant rate longevity, but I do like them so far! …Ok, here is several months later. I’m in northern Illinois. So far this winter, we have received over 60″ of snow this season. Traction on these tires is amazing. Have not got stuck yet. Excellent ride on the interstate at 75 mph. Highly recommend these tires. Note – I used internal tire balancing beads in these tires, nice ride!

I had these tires on my 09 Honda Fit Sport and they preformed very well. They probably wear better than any tire I have owned and have adequate traction in the snow. I naturally went looking for the same tire and found these on Amazon at a good price. Very smooth and balanced easily.

We replaced the 2012 CRV factory ContiContacts with these Yokohamas. The improvement was immediate! Much quieter and far more solid feeling on the road. Handling improved enormously. This is a 4WD vehicle.We upsized by one, the car calls for 225s and we put on 235 (dropping one aspect)There was a bit of work at the beginning to get one wheel balanced, but they eventually figured it out. It only vibrated at 75-78 mph.I’ve had Yokohamas on several cars, and they’ve always been solid. These are also doing great.

I am so thankful that these tires were available online because I could not afford to go to Discount Tire. I get better gas mileage with these tires. I have been able to test them out on a recent road trip and they are just what I needed. Not too much road noise, and excellent tracking on the roads during wet, rainy, slick, cold conditions. I usually purchase Michelin’s but I will stick with Yokohama’s going forward. I also wanted to comment on the Vendor, the customer service was superb and they were really great to work with.

Put 4 brand new Ascend’s on my 10 Honda Insight 3 weeks and 2k miles ago. Here are my thoughts:If you plan on driving over 60MPH in a hybrid or lightweight car in the midwest/windy/wet I would not suggest these tires.They are beyond squirmy, beyond hunting/drifting on the road. I drove 2k on these tires before begging for them to replace the tires.I commute 160 miles a day round trip on Highway and Interstate driving. Less than 2 miles of my drive consist of speeds below 40 MPH.My SO drove it and as a 15 year vet as a Sheriff Deputy said never before had he driven a vehicle he thought he was going to roll more than the day he drove mine. I likened the feeling as fishtailing but no reason to fishtail.Shop rechecked every last thing they could and nothing was mechanically wrong.We put on the Envigors that I previously had and not one single issue has recreated itself that I was having for the previous 3 weeks on the Ascends.Road noise is not noticeable. Ride was smooth. Bumps were not hurtful. Gas millage increased. I think though that may be because I could not get the courage to drive above 60 MPH where speed limits are posted at 75MPH. Just the fear of rolling or landing in the ditch while driving.

After 5 years on factory tires I needed a new set for my 2009 Honda Fit. Last winter I couldn’t even get out of my parking space when there was any amount of snow on the ground so I had to bite the bullet and buy a new set. Being that the Honda Fit has a very uncommon size of tire, I found that the cheapest thing to do was buy them online then take them somewhere to get mounted, rather than having a shop special order them for me. Once I got them installed, it was like night and day! They are very effective in the snow and rain (I live outside Chicago). Highly recommended.

I bought these for my 2009 Honda Fit Sport..185x55x16..just installed today, balanced all 4 wheels and 4 wheel laser alignment. I knew the moment I hit the highway that I had a real Winner in this set of tires!! They are quiter ,grip the highway better and I believe the gas mileage is going to be 10-15% better.. This is my third set of tires on this vehicle with 74,000 miles..original set were Dunlap..lasted 25,000 miles..2nd set were Hankoop ventura..lasted 49,000 miles..I will say I am not right on top of the my game when it comes to inflation and rotation, but I will make a chart now to keep better track of my investment..I will update at 10,000 miles..

I purchased 4. The installer asked where I got them. He wanted to know because he said that it’s highly unusual that he doesn’t have to balance tires, and that was the case with two of them. I’ve been very pleased with the handling on these tires as well.

My previous tire were four Michelin Defenders. Compared to the Yokohama they were worse in every category. These Avid Ascend were noticeably quieter and had better handling. I noticed the car turned much more effortlessly on these than the Defenders and were smoother driving over rough pavement. The defenders also didn’t even last 40k miles and felt sluggish overall.I can’t comment about wet and snow because I live in Southern California, but if you are looking for dry climate tires, these are solid and perform well for average to spirited driving.I was considering Continental and Goodyear too, but these win out due to price. After install these were much more inexpensive, made in the USA, and the fact they had good record of durability according to reviews made them a easy choice.

Yes good price and quality tires. Found it much easier and less expensive to purchase tires online and then have the mechanic put them on. Typically the price of tires are higher at the shop then when you purchase them yourself..
