YOKOHAMA Avid Ascend GT rises again ...

[odie]

Makes it more difficult to choose tires . Considering the GTs' again . Was leaning towards the FALKEN Aklimate or the GOODYEAR Assurance WeatherReady .

not an all-weather tire

In the northeast, all-weather tires are usually the best choice

Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady II is a GREAT tire for the cost, waiting for black friday sales and try your luck on Tirerack.com

I've been more than happy with the Ascend GT's on my Accord especially considering what little I paid for them about five years ago (135$/each from Amazon), but I'm on the lookout for something a little more sporty for next time.

that's WeatherReady I, WeatherReady II is different and imo better, as I own both of them.

Will likely purchase the WeatherReady 1 .

I currently have about 53,000 miles on a set of WeatherReady's and they have been very good. I'll probably get to around 60k before I replace them this fall before the MN winters show up.

The 1's are an average tire, the 2's are an excellent tire.. why would you purchase mediocrity?

I assume the first gen WeatherReady will be phased out.

Definitely getting those avid ascend get tires when I need tires.

Recently T.R. had W.R. discounted and 2 discounts from GOODYEAR which hints at them being dropped . Wish they'd let some tires be . Miss the GENERAL Altimax RT43 ( H ) that were used for 3 or 4 of our vehicles at around 10 years . Seen the RT45 on display at Walmart and doesn't look as impressive as the 43 .

I am also curious

I did get some WeatherReady 1s for an insane deal last black Friday.

Considering the GTs' again .

I have them as OE tires on a 2024 Rav4 Prime XSE. I have a total of 14,000+ miles on them with 6/32nds " and love them for a summer all-season tire. I don't use them up North for the winter and prefer Michelin XIce Snows for that. We had 2 inches of rain in 30 mins the other day and I was able to confidently overtake a semi that was doing 80 in a 70MPH stretch of highway. I could see the area of pooling water that the tires just didn't care and I felt no hydroplaning. For the wet traction I am a believer and the summer traction is sticky as it should be. Quiet tire overall. My next summer tire set will be Bridgestone Potenza AS.
