| awsm869's Full Review: Goodyear Assurance TripleTred Tire |
I put these on my wife's FWD Vibe after having a good experience with the Fortera Tripletred's on my AWD SUV. However, they are not living up to my expectations in snow at all. I assumed they would be great as I have no problems with the set on my truck but I think the AWD is really making a substantial traction difference. I've actually been stuck in the driveway with the Triple Tred's in 4 inches of packed snow/ice and got stuck on a residential street that my SUV tackled with ease just moments before.
If winter performance is not a large concern...these are amazing on wet, dry, even slushy winter roads...but when it comes to tackling packed snow and ice, the boasts of Goodyear don't live up to their rep. on the roads!
