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.

Themes extracted from 24 owner reviews found online.
Reviewers are largely enthusiastic about the Yokohama Avid Ascend GT, praising it as a quiet, comfortable all-season tire with standout wet-weather grip and strong value. A small minority report a rough ride, weak traction, or premature front-tire wear, and many reviewers note it is too early to judge long-term treadwear.
Pros
- Excellent wet-weather performance: several owners describe confident grip, resistance to hydroplaning, and one calls it the best tire for wet roads they have owned.
- Capable in light winter conditions: reviewers report good handling in slush, rain, and snow, with one saying it grips better than any tire they have owned (no reviewer had yet tested deep snow accumulations).
- Comfortable, smooth, and quiet ride: multiple owners cite a noticeable improvement in ride quality and noise over previous or factory tires.
- Strong value for the money: reviewers say it performs on par with pricier brands and cite favorable ratings from several sites, including a retailer testing.
- Confident dry grip and handling: owners cite good grip in hard turns and fine overall handling, and one reported no noticeable change in hybrid fuel economy.
Cons
- Treadwear is an open question: most reviewers have only 1,000–2,500 miles, and one reported front tires worn out after six months while the rears looked new.
- Some road noise reported: one reviewer noted more tread noise on dry pavement and another called the tire a little loud, contrary to the quiet-ride praise elsewhere.
- Ride quality complaints from a minority: one reviewer said the tire drives rough.
- Traction dissatisfaction from a minority: one reviewer said traction was poor and wished to return the tires, and another expressed general unhappiness as a Yokohama owner.
Worth knowing
- Subaru Forester owners reported a comfortable, quiet ride, good traction on muddy gravel, and good bad-weather traction; one noted Subaru recommends Yokohama tires for the vehicle.
- Owners of all-wheel-drive vehicles (Audi A4, Toyota Sienna) reported satisfactory handling and all-condition performance, with the Sienna owner still waiting to judge tread life.
- No tire sizes were provided in the dataset, and most reviews did not list a vehicle, so size-specific conclusions cannot be drawn.
