Expert Verdict
The Yokohama AVID Ascend GT is best suited for drivers seeking a comfortable and quiet ride with excellent treadlife. However, its lower speed rating might not satisfy those who frequently drive at higher speeds.
Pros
Comfort and noise scores of 8 make it a pleasant choice for long highway drives, reducing fatigue over extended periods.
Treadwear rating of 740 and a 65,000-mile warranty suggest a long lifespan, exceeding the category average UTQG of 683.
Balanced dry and wet grip scores of 7.5 ensure reliable performance in varied weather conditions.
Cons
The 'R' speed rating may not meet the needs of drivers who require higher speed capabilities for their vehicles.
Speed rating of 'R' may limit suitability for high-speed driving compared to competitors like the Goodyear Eagle LS2, which often have higher speed ratings.
Handling score of 7.5 is adequate but not particularly engaging for those seeking a more dynamic driving experience.
Lacks the 3PMSF rating, which may be a drawback for those needing more assured performance in light snow conditions.
