Initial Review, 20,000 Miles on Tires
May 02, 2012

When I bought the my Honda Pilot new I replaced the OEM tires with Geolanders thinking I was doing the right thing. For the next 40,000 miles I thought Honda made a lousy AWD system. Terrible traction in snow. And got the daylights scared out of me coming down an icy logging road. So I researched replacements when they wore out. Bought a set of Fortera TripleTreds. First drive on the way home from the tire dealer I was stunned at the improved handling. Way more precise. Snow and ice traction has been great. On the downside, I suspect they are costing me some gas mileage, but can't be sure. No idea yet if I can expect long tread life. Overall, a very good tire.

This tire should be removed from sales market. OEM on 2010 Honda Pilot and they are worn after 24,000 miles. Honda dealer and internet both agree this tire is a loser. Dealer informed me that all new vehicles have low mileage tires installed. Buyer beware of this tire. Read the web for many complaints.

After 27400 miles these tires need to be replaced. Great suv the worst tires I have ever had. These were on the car when bought new and now have a set of michilin being ordered by dealer. VW really dropped the ball on these tires.rubber bands would be better!

Initial Review, 200 Miles on Tires
March 25, 2012

I just purchased these tires and have about 200 miles on them. I put them on my stock Toyota Fj Cruiser and I must say they are a lot different than the stock tires, obviously. Selecting the correct air pressure is essential to the performance, which I'm still tweaking.
The vehicle dives when you hit the brakes hard, therefore I will have to purchase much stiffer shocks all the way around. Remember that under-par shocks will determine the overall performance and safety of the vehicle. If you are willing to spend $300 per tire don't half-------- it and just get some better than stock shocks to match the tire. I have not put many miles on the tires but I can tell that these things are the real deal and are super heavy duty. I had the guys at UPS and the Toyota dealer cursing me because these tires are so heavy and this is without the wheels!! I have spent many years in the middle east driving off road in the most extreme conditions in Afghanistan. These are the tires that are on the HUMMERS!! When you hear other people bad mouthing any tire not just these, it is because the cannot drive! You have to know how to drive on all surfaces and adapt accordingly. These are mud tires not Z rated intended for a Porsche.... Slow down.. Be responsible and upgrade to better shocks for everyone's safety! I love them.. so if you are debating about spending this much.. don't hesitate and get these kick-------- tires!!

I'm no expert on tires, but I thought I would share my experience. I live in Wisconsin and was looking for a good all season tire to replace the lame OEM Michelins that wore out at 40,000 on my 2007 Odyssey EX-L. Because Goodyear offers a 30-day no hassle guarantee, I tired the Goodyear Assurance TripleTred. They were rated high on Consumer Reports and I liked the idea that they were rated excellent in snow and ice. I was a bit concerned though because I had read terrible reviews about road noise and a hard ride. The Goodyear guy said "Don't pay attention to those reviews; they were for an older model tire - these are a new redesign for 2011." OK, I went for it. From my experience, I would NOT recommend the Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds. They gave a very hard ride. I thought I was driving a dump truck. I felt EVERY bump -- and hard. As for road noise, there was some, but I was concerned it might worsen as the tires aged. I only had a few instances to try them in the snow and ice and they did feel very good and secure in these conditions. Maybe if I lived in Alaska, or the Colorado mountains where I had to deal with snow a lot, I would choose the TripleTred. I went back to the dealer and switched to the Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Touring. They guy at Goodyear (a different one) said he would have never recommended the TripleTred for an Odyssey or Sienna. It was a great choice. The ComforTreds are indeed smooth and quiet. I feel like I'm driving a car instead of a dump truck. I tested them in snow and ice and they performed well. So I recommend the Assurance ComforTred touring.

I put a set of these on a 1999 Ford Explorer 4x4 after a bad experience with some junk Goodyear Wranglers (quality and dealer). These were the old style, old rubber, no sidewall tread models. They were great. They stuck to the road through everything, and did wonderfully off road. They lasted 70,000 miles. They had some road noise when I got to 60,000 miles, and they did ride just a little rough, but that is a good all terrain tire for you. I got deal on them at the time (2001-2002) since the new KO's were being introduced, but I doubt I would buy BFG A/T's again due to their outrageous price point. There are tires out there now that cost 1/2 as much, do the same job just as well, and provide the same good looks.

AMAZING TIRE!!!! Extremely smooth and quite for being such an aggressive looking tire. If you like an off road look, this is a bonus to you, the look extremely tough. The "rim protector" feature is very functional and adds to the looks. My very picky wife even commented on how quite and smooth they are on the highway. Tires corner extremely well. No drop in MPG with the tires. Mountain Snow rated. Excellent tire in snow, slush, and ice. Great warranty. Installed by a Nissan Dealer, balancing is right on! Certainly not the cheapest tire, but well worth every penny. I honestly could not ask for more from these tires, I have tried other brands (OEM Michelin Latitude) on this Armada and an '08 (General Grabber HTS) that I previously owned and these have exceeded my expectations and my wife feels much safer on long trips in winter.

These tires were the original equipment on the car purchased new. They are excellent tires that provide a very nice secure ride. My car have only been serviced by the dealer since new and they provide a free multi-point inspection each and every time I bring it in for service. With 110,450 miles on these tires the dealer still tells me there is good tread life on the tires. I decided to replace them only because there is some uneven wear on the edges and the oncoming winter of the northeast. These are excellent tires.

Drove coast-to-coast with these on my 2011 Challenger R/T, including a couple of smoky burnouts and some triple-digit cruising, and I love them. They've been through monsoon-like downpours and rarely complained. In the dry, they stick like anything, making my two-ton beast corner like a much smaller car. On top of all that, they still have plenty of tread life left - my dealer told me today they should make it to 20,000 miles, no problem. Highly recommended!

These tires came factory on my Explorer and were good tires all in all. I got 39,000 miles out of the originals and probably had 8-10,00 miles left when I decided to replace due to upcoming winter. I never had any problems with these tire. Road noise was good compared to some continentals that I have owned on other vehicles. Dry traction was excellent, wet traction was very good even with them worn to the wear bars. Off road traction was average for a street tire. Light snow traction was good as well. When I decided to purchase new tires I had planned to go with Michelin LTX-MS. However after much research and talking to numerous tire dealers I decided to go with the Goodyear Fortera again. This decision came down to the fact that most dealers in my area said that the Michelin's would provide better tread wear lasting the warranted 60,000 miles or maybe a little more, but that was about the only difference. Price made my decision. The Goodyear's were less than half the price of the Michelin's. I could literally buy 8 Goodyear Fortera's for less that 4 Michelin's. As for performance I am very pleased with my decision and the extra $600 I saved.

Great tire, quiet, no virbartion, good overall perforfmance and traction. No rim protection like the OEM Goodyear Super Car's. Terrible treadwear (18k)vs. the 45k warranty - going to try to pro-rate them out at the dealer. Center rib of tire wears first regardless of inflation. Cold temps turn the compound hard and make the tire extremely slippery.

These tires created tremendous noise. We took to dealer to check whether something was rubbing. They never found anything wrong. Wen we switched to Continental DWS, the car was like a quiet, luxury ride that would be expected from a 5 series.
