## Description

Yokohama AVID ASCEND GT Touring Radial Tire-205/50R17 93V

Review: Dramatically improved the ride quality. - I made the mistake of putting the cheapest tires I could find on my 2013 Chevy Volt, the last time they needed replacing. Huge mistake. They couldn't keep up with the car, and I was skidding at green lights constantly, and hydroplaning whenever it rained. After doing some research, I decided to get these Avid Ascend GTs to replace them. These are excellent all-season tires. The tires grip very well, and I can launch the Volt again at green lights without issue. They've also worked very well in rain, with no hydroplaning. They're pretty quiet too, but not silent. Really glad I bought these. They drive great, and brought back the driving dynamics that make the car so fun (the car feels planted and sporty again). It felt a little weird putting Japanese tires on a car made in Detroit, but Yokohamas have a good reputation and warranty, and they're an excellent value. It also felt strange ordering tires through desertcart, but that process was simple too. I got to pick a local mechanic that desertcart shipped the tires to for the tire install, and everything went smoothly, with no delays.
Review: Good tires - I am completely satisfied with these tires. When I buy stuff, I like to do my research in several different ways. It usually takes me some time before making my choice. I read reviews, watch videos, and read the comments in the videos. So I narrowed it down to these and another popular brand. These had such a good price, so I went with them. Im so glad I did because, boy do they grip. No problem on dry or wet surfaces. It’s been raining and I get on the pedal with no slip. I’m turning hard on dry roads and they perform great. I put this set on the wife’s car and I usually purchase more expensive brands like Michelin. I’m satisfied with these and I saved a lot of money. I would definitely buy them again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfied
*by A***R on April 19, 2024*

I am extremely happy with my purchase. The first set I ordered the wrong size which was completely my fault. They accepted the return after they were delivered already. I ordered the right size and scheduled service through Amazon with Mavis tires. The experience was great and a great price. After they serviced my car it was driving so smooth almost like it was floating. Extremely satisfied with my purchase.
