Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A AVID TOURING-S

Pros

  • Good value: many reviewers cite a low price relative to quality and describe it as a credible, cheaper alternative to Michelin and other name brands.
  • Quiet, smooth, and comfortable ride, mentioned very frequently, including by reviewers who expected a loud tire.
  • Long tread life: reports include about 65,000 miles on a Subaru Outback, about 80,000 miles per set over three sets, and minimal wear after 5,000 to 10,000 miles.

Cons

  • Some reviewers report wheelspin or weak traction when starting from a stop in wet or snowy conditions.
  • Noise is mentioned by several reviewers, including tread growl, a louder tire than their previous set, and a tire described as 'so noisy'.
  • Soft sidewall or tire feel: one reviewer described vague steering and flexing, another called the tire 'soft' and noted tracking in pavement grooves on some highways.

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
