The Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2 receives its clearest owner praise for dry grip and handling, with no criticism of either aspect among the recurring comments. Wet grip is generally liked too, but four reviews raise concerns against eleven favorable mentions. Noise is the main drawback, criticised in roughly three in ten reviews, while a smaller group finds the ride too firm. Mid-life and end-of-life accounts show a wide range of tread life, so wear is less settled than dry performance. A few later-life reviews also describe reduced wet grip as the tread wears, although others remain satisfied well into the tire's life.

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.

Fitted this tires to replace Michelin Primacy for Toyota Kijang Innova (Diesel). Was about to buy Michelin again, but they no longer manufacture the Primacy for my tire size (had to downgrade to Energy XM2+ with the same price as the Primacy), so I looked for another option. The Goodyear Assurance Triplemaxx came highly recommended in one of the Indonesian automotive online forum (best value), and with 1-year warranty I decided to give it a try. Initially, good grip when dry, while wet grip is also OK. It's not noisy (same noise level as my previous Michelin Primacy).
But there are two things I don't like about these tires:
1. When cornering at somewhat higher speed in the motorways, they roll (I feel like the car is wobbly), while with Primacy, I don't notice this.
2. They don't look as sleek as other tires because they're a bit bulgy on the sides.
However, considering the price (it's about half the price of Primacy) + 1-year warranty, I'd recommend the Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2.

Performance- combine with proton handling, its superb! 160kmh on highway still confident
Once had an emergency brake on PLUS highway during downpour, the car in front of me slided and hit the divider but luckily my car gripped well.
Noisy- 1st 3000 miles okay. After that bit noisy if drive more than 120kmh
Will buy again
Bought this to replace my Yokohama Blue Earth. Pretty well made tires. Noise was very minimal on highway, handling was good. Although my Yokohama was a joy to use when it was new compared to these. So far dry road grip was awesome as i go 180kmh most of the time on highways. Wet grip was alot better with acceptable resistance to hydroplanning. I still get a little hydroplaning when going through a small puddle but no skidding. Car felt in control most of the time. Costs a bit higher than my Blue Earth but it is justified for.
