The Goodyear Assurance MaxLife is a touring tire with owner praise for longevity and value over high mileages. Wet grip is its most repeated concern, and the small review sample gives little support for broader performance claims.

Goodyear Assurance MaxLife Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 5 reviews

The Goodyear Assurance MaxLife's small owner sample puts longevity ahead of grip. Two of five owners praise tread life and value, with longer-use accounts describing substantial mileage and remaining tread. Wet grip is the main recurring concern, criticised by three owners, although one other account likes wet handling. Overall opinion is mostly neutral, with only one positive and one negative review. All five reviews were written at mid-life or end-of-life, but there are no follow-up accounts from the same drivers to establish how performance changes as the tire wears.

Initial Impressions

I bought a used CX-5 with these tires and was amazed at how bad they were. They were 3 years old and looked fine with plenty of tread depth. But even on clear dry road in the summer I could spin them a bit just by putting my foot down at 20 mph. (And remember this is an AWD SUV!) I'd get torque steer when accelerating, I assume from uneven traction on the front tires. On greasy damp mornings I could get the whole car sliding around a corner. And after one awful drive in the snow where I barely made it home, I ordered new Pirellis just as soon as I could.

After 46k miles mostly on highways, I have plenty of tread left. Coming from stock Mazda Toyo tires which wear fast but have great fuel efficiency, Goodyear Assurance MaxLife wear very slowly & moderate efficiency (2-3mpg less than the OEM Toyo tires). Grip in standing pools of water at highway speeds is noticeably reduced compared to what I'm used to, but in regular wet conditions I haven't had problems. I really do think I may be able to get around 100k out of these tires which is impressive. The stock Toyo tires were near the end of useful life @ 35k. For the price & longevity, I do think they are worth it.

These tires have some of the worst wet grip I've ever seen in my life. Very dangerous. Apparently longevity is more important than safety with these tires.

These tires came with my used Tesla model three, so I don't know about treadwear. But what I can say with surety is that, due to wet handling performance (or lack of!), I would never ever buy these tires again. Too dangerous, with sudden traction failure under mild turning force in any but ideal conditions. Also, I'm used to parallel parking by rubber-on-curb feel (think non-performance car), and the fact that the rims actually stick out PAST this tire's sidewall is super annoying, what with a mess of curb rash on my rims now, before getting used to the lack of tire feel.

These are far from sporty tires, but they behave quite well for a daily driver. I drive a 2019 Toyota Camry XSE, and have logged about 140,000 miles with three separate tires. I've had two sets of Assurances, currently the max life and an older model prior to those. The car came with Eagles. I drive for Uber and my customers are quite pleased with the road noise levels, as am I, and my front wheel drive grocery getter can handle about 42mph on a standard round off ramp in dry conditions, and about 37mph in wet conditions, with no understeer up to that limit. I believe I'm up to about fifty five thousand miles on this set of tires, and am measuring just over 5/32" of tread. If you want more performance, don't buy these tires. But, if you're going to constantly be driving within the confines of the letter of the law, and logging the type of road time reserved for an eternal commute, these are worth the money by every metric. You can get way cheaper tires if you're mounting them on something for your seasonal vacation home, because the tires will age out before you wear them down. But for people who can eat 10/32" within three years (these I believe are warrantied for 80,000 miles), it's money well spent. My stock Eagles were good for thirty to thirty five thousand miles, and cost was similar for a full set of those or these max life's. They obviously were more spirited, but the fully loaded Camry is heavy, and anything but a sports sedan.
