How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
51/100From 10 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Goodyear Assurance MaxLife receives a mixed reception, praised heavily for its exceptional tread longevity and low road noise, but heavily criticized for declining traction and poor wet-weather performance over time. While some users report impressive mileage well past 50,000 miles with plenty of tread remaining, others find the rubber compound hardens prematurely, resulting in dangerous slip and traction loss in wet or damp conditions.
Pros
- Exceptional tread life and slow wear rate
- Quiet and comfortable ride quality suitable for daily driving and ridesharing
- Good initial highway and dry road comfort
Cons
- Severe lack of wet traction and poor performance in standing water or damp conditions
- Rubber compound appears to harden over time, leading to unpredictable slip from a stop and during acceleration
- Slight drop in fuel efficiency compared to certain OEM tires
Worth knowing
- Tesla Model 3 drivers noted dangerous wet handling and reported that the sidewall design leaves the wheel rims excessively vulnerable to curb damage.
- AWD SUV and sedan owners (such as the Mazda CX-5) experienced unexpected wheel spin and torque steer even in dry summer conditions when accelerating moderately.
