| seasthonda's Full Review: Goodyear Assurance TripleTred Tire |
I just had my 2nd set of Tripletreds put on my Accord today from JustTires. Overall, I was happy with the first set. The tires performed very well. Good traction, handling, not too noisy. I also like the looks of the tires.
Don't expect them to last 80,000 miles. My 1st set had 48,000 miles and had 1/32 left. I rotated them regularly and had my alignment checked about once a year -- it was never out of spec. The shoulders of the tires also seem to wear quickly.
The store manager said this was pretty much normal for Tripletreds and gave me a significant mileage credit discount on the new set. I paid $250 out the door including road hazard guarantees. He said they do this often enough for Tripletreds that he didn't even check my rotation history in the computer.
