P215/60R17 AVID ASCEND

Good

These are good tires for the price, but not real good in snow. I’ll buy them again.

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.

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! 

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. 

These tires are great. Bought them for my 09′ honda fit. They are good in the rain, as for snow, haven’t had any yet so im not sure. 

perfect replacement

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. 

Great tires 

I put these on my santa fe and they are great. Much improvement over the goodyears I had on it. 

I noticed that my car used about 15-20% less gas using these tires, without compromising the amount of grip or maneuverability of the car. I highly recommend these! 

2007 Prius, replaced the front tires with the same type as on the rear. A bit louder than expected, though the car handles like it is on rails. Not much snow as yet (Dec, Chicago), looking forward to good performance there.

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. 

Good tire. Good service. I have it mounted on a 1500 Vulcan Classic cruiser. 

Have these on my 2010 Honda Insight and do not experience any problems with handling or vibrations at any speed. Great in the rain too. Now with about 40,000 miles (consistent balancing and rotation every 8000 miles) wear is very satisfactory. I am still very happy with the purchase. 

This is the second set of these tires I’ve bought. First set went on an HHR and have held up great. They are also smooth riding, made in the USA, 70,000 mile tires. Have lasted better than the Michelins I had last time 

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.

I just had my tires put on 3 days ago. So far it has been a good ride. Handles well are wet roads. I do a lot of highway driving and so far I’m satisfied 

Found these to be a very good replacement tire for my grand marquise. Dont buy Kuhmo solus.

Nice ride

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..

Put these on my 2013 Nissan Altima and they are probably the best tire I’ve ever used! They are so quiet on smooth roads. I will never buy any other tires!

I’ve put about 7000 miles on these tires and they’ve performed great! Drove them all the way through Texas while it rained the whole time! No traction problems at all. They never pulled to the side when hitting puddles of standing water! They have wore very evenly. No real road noise to complain about! Very smooth riding and quite!

Best winter traction all season tire I have ever used, even after putting 30,000 miles on them. 

I put it on my Harley Davidson Ultra Limited….. Expect to get twice the mileage at half the cost .Performs perfectly !!! 

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.. 

Great tire, I drive alot of highway miles and nice quiet tires and get excellent wear

So far these look and ride like great tires.

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.
