Goodyear Assurance MaxLife Owner Reviews
Review this tireWhat 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.

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.
