Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2

Overall... an average result... they replaced some truly awful dried out old low-grip tyres that wouldn't wear out, that were on the car when I bought it. I would buy these Chinese-manufactured Goodyears again if I could get them for the $179 each I paid in Oct 2020... got 28,335kms out of them, the other two are still on there, my mum's little Toyota Ist hatchback, (JDM, but like an Echo, Yaris, Scion XA ... ) one tyre got a screw in it and mum drove on the sidewall a tiny bit in a carpark and that was it. So I replaced the axle pair with some even cheaper Chinese tyres "HiFly HF201" we'll see how that goes in a few years when they pop...

Good dry and wet grip when new. Dry grip remains good at 50% wear, but wet grip has declined noticeably.

When driving under normal circumstances and at normal speeds, the tires are quiet and great on the highway. While noise is good even at 50% wear, comfort is poor, these tires feel as stiff as run-flats, at the recommended tire pressure of 260kpa for my car, these tires are crashy. Every pothole, rough surface and joint is felt. To compensate I dropped my tire pressures to just 180kpa (26psi), which of course came at the expense of wear. On the upside, braking in the dry is excellent, with a short stopping distance and good control during emergency braking.

When driving spiritedly (using the recommended 260kpa tire pressure), these tires are alright with pretty good grip in the dry. Grip is progressive which makes driving moderately fast quite easy, steering feel and responsiveness actually improves as the tires heat up and these tires become noticeably more responsive when warm. However, fast steering changes cause the front end to wash out. Overall a serviceable tire for occasional spirited drives. However, avoid driving spiritedly during rainfall, especially when worn. The tires have decent braking and acceleration in the wet, but cornering grip is weak and unpredictable. These tires lose all its progressiveness in the wet, when it slips it lets go. Snap oversteer isn't fun, at least it isn't my cup of tea.

In summary:
+ Good dry grip and handling, responsiveness and steering feedback improves when warmed up
+ Great dry braking performance
+ Fairly quiet at high speed
+ Very cheap for a well-known brand
+ Good straight line acceleration and braking in the wet
- Terribly harsh ride
- Unpredictable wet handling at 50% wear
- Average tread wear
- Vague road feedback and lack of auditory feedback make driving at the limit guesswork

The Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2 is a decent buy on a budget. It's a cheap touring tire that's quiet, with grip levels close to UHP tires. The stiff sidewalls are uncomfortable but seem damage resistant. Just be careful of it's wet cornering once worn.

Would I buy again? Probably not, but not because it's a bad tire, but because doesn't suit my preferences and car.

Would I recommend it? Probably yes, for those on a tight budget looking for a well known branded tire that has good grip and handling.

I purchased these on price, as they were slightly cheaper than the Bridgestone Ecopia EP300 tyres at the time.
Very disappointed.
Poor life, terrible wet handling and braking.
I replaced them with the aforementioned Bridgestone tyres (similarly priced at the time of purchase).
No comparison, the Bridgestone tyres lasted far longer (35%), and the grip and braking in wet conditions was markedly better.
So much so that I have just put the same Bridgestone tyres on the vehicle for replacement after 60,000km and over three years later.
The Goodyear's aren't in the same league.

very fast tread wear, good handling on corners, good dry performance (almost no skids when i launch the car), average to bad wet performance, it only took 21k kilometers for this tire to wear out, now im hydroplaning on puddles.

worst quality tyre. I got my tyre changes after 6.5 year of car purchase and unfortunately I bought goodyear tyre for the change. Now I am in a situation to replace the tyres within 2.5year of purchase with only 20-25k Km running. Every few days, one of the tyre gets punctured these days and I am really struggling. Company is not accepting the quality issue and says that 2 out of 4 tyres are worn out more than 60% so they will not change the tyre. Just within 2.5year with only 20-25km running over this period, i need to buy new tyres. that's crazy, pl don't buy goodyear tyre.

New tires noise level acceptable not too noisy, but once used half the tread, the noisy level becomes annoying.
Confident spirited driving in wet or dry roads, even when tread left about 20%.
This tire should be able to last about 50k-60k km if maintain regularly.
However I didn't buy the same model this time, because the noise level is just not for me. Opted for Assurance Maxguard this time.

More than decent tyre. Can handle corners well, considering how bad SUVs handle in general. Only sort of weak in wet conditions in Malaysian highways, but that maybe more due to road quality.

I use these tyres on a 2004 Nissan Teana. I average 1000kms every week at speeds averaging 120km/h 90% motorway driving. The current tyres went on the car in March 2022. They have lasted 120,000kms with a few more 100kms left to the tread wear indicators. Filled with nitrogen. Rotated every 30000kms. Allignments done every 30,000kms. Exceptional tyres I would say. Going for the same brand and type as I am quite sure they will last at least for another 120,000kms. :)

The tyre is very good when it is new both in dry and wet. The braking performance is also great due to its compound. It can get quite noisy even when it's new. But when it is around 30% left, the tyre gets very dangerous and slippery even when you go over the road lines. The rubber become hardened after 3 years of use.

Goodyear assurance triple max 2 is very good reason as below,
1. Superb dry grip, few times emergency brake, car stopped nicely even no sound from the tires was heard due to hard breaking.
2. Excellent wet grip , no much different for tyre grip during dry or wet.
3. Perfect Aqua planing resistant, the car break away water perfectly, car can be maneuvered confidently when tires hits water ponding even during cornering. I can drive much faster in highway during rain compared to other car , differences is very obvious .
4. Long lasting , my car hits 120,000 km in 3 years with this tires and the grip still superb . No crack observed on tires , tires tread < 50%, I forecast at least can used up to 150,000 km .
5. Hard side wall, give good control during cornering or cornering on uneven road .
6. Cheapest among all branded tires in the same class. Based on my research , at least 10%-15% cheaper compared to continental, Michelin or Bridgestone.
7. Noise is just average , not too loud, but little noisy compared to other big brand tyre . But still in acceptable level
8. Lack of comfort , Due to hard side wall these tyre sacrifice on comfort a little bit but still within acceptable level .

Wet Grip are bad for a 1.5 Turbo car. Once press will slippery. Dry grip so far still ok.

The tyres are safe most importantly but are on the noisier side. Offers good stability even during aquaplaning.

Bought this to replace the stock Dunlop SP Sport Maxx at a lower price point. Grips, both on dry and wet roads are excellent considering it is priced nearly half of the previous Dunlop. It handles just okay - I feel it's almost the same between the two, not very noticeable. Tire noise is better than Dunlop, but still a bit noisy on motorways, and it's a bit on the stiffer side when driving on a rough surface (esp. country roads), but again it feels less stiff than the Dunlop. It lasted around 50K miles / 80K km with a bit of cupping on the front two - heavily used on combined roads (urban-motorway-country). Overall, I highly recommend this if you're on a budget.
