Hi sifus, I'm looking to change my tyre. Between Goodyear Triplemax Assurance and Toyo Proxes CR1, which is a better option ah? Since both about the same price. 185/55 R15

I would recommend Toyo Proxes CR1. One of my cars is using that as stock tire.

My review after 1000 ish km.

Pros:
1. Quiet
2. Comfortable
3. Good wet grip (significantly better than Hankook Ventus Prime 3)
4. Good aquaplaning resistance (significantly better than Hankook Ventus Prime 3)

Cons:
1. Lesser dry grip (worse than Hankook Ventus Prime 3, about on the same levels as Bridgestone Turanza T001)
2. Lower handling during cornering, squishy soft sidewall

Verdict:
A tire suitable for small compact city cars. A worthy, if not better, recommendation against Continental ComfortContact CC7, & also in this case, Goodyear Assurance Triplemax.

Thank you sifu~ That means cornering also not as good as the Goodyear?

Should be similar.

The main issue with Goodyear Assurance Triplemax tires are they're noisy & they have relatively short mileage (about 30k km ish).

Hi all,

Any1 have experience in current 185/60/15 Goodyear MaxGuard review?

Looking at switching new tyres soon. Looking at GY Maxguard vs XM2+ (1st priority going back to michelin after so many years,due to longer lasting & lifespan, and good grips overall)

Current setup using GY ATM2 , all good, but only one little drawback, the tyre flower tends to wear out faster and lesser KM's mileage. Overall no issues.lasted me 40k km + - .
Appreciate all inputs from current users for GY Maxguard. Not SUV type thumbup.gif notworthy.gif

Have the wheel alignment numbers adjusted properly, alignment check is not good enough.

yeah its good. often straight and adjusted. the tyre shop is a reputable name in the industry.

just sharing my experience as my current setup is GY ATM2 left <20%flower and felt hardened dy , but wonder how does GY Maxguard now fares for current owners?

By shallow you mean tread depth when new is lesser than 6 mm or 1/4"?

My XM2 was measured new at 6 mm by ruler. Actual may be 1/4" meaning 6.35 mm.

With this I get 115K km +- per pair with a residual tread depth of slightly higher than (the mandatory) 1.6 mm, i.e 2-2.x mm.

Just imagine, a GY street tyre in 1980s can get repeatedly 60-65K km life span (in a Saga then) -probably with alignment numbers meant for minimum tyre wear as part of the equation.

Tyre technology over the past 40 years have improved by leaps and bounds, be it rubber material technology or tread patttern design or manufacturing technology etc. IME current generation street tyre life of say, 45K km or below (at a residual tread depth of 1.6mm) is unacceptable and it is unlikely to be attributed to tyre brand/model etc.

Of course others' experience or encounters may differs, more so with prevalent adoption and acceptance of fear mongering of tyre safety/replacement at residual tread depth well higher than 1.6 mm.

However despite modern day computer or 'automation', the practice of wheel alignment and its skill and finishing has gone down the drain or longkang!

Definitely not, got reduce but not till flat.

Might have some small leak, possibly got some nails or screws on the road you passed by.

Or someone sabotaged you 😅
