Goodyear Assurance Triple Tred
Just wondering if anyone has used these tires on their Accords? I need a really good all season tire and want the tire to do well in the wet; my Michelins are scary on damp pavement.
I've got an 03 Accord EX 4 cyl.

Best tire I've ever put on. I've used strictly summer tires (Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, among others) and strictly winter tires (Blizzaks), but this tire amazes me more than any other. I have no problem accelerating in 6 inches of wet snow (the slush grip is much better than most winter tires because of the tread pattern), and winter grip is amazingly just as good (if not better sometimes) than winter tires I've had on. These things don't disappoint in reflexes, steering feel or handling either - they're far better than the Yokohama AVS ES100's I once sampled (terrible tires), and are in the same league with the Eagles, SP9000s and Potenza S-03s until you push it past 7/10s. It amazes me still how well they blend handling, wet traction, snow traction, road comfort, steering feel, and noise. I have about 35k miles on them.
Plus they're tirerack's #1 rated all seasonal tire.

You will find a discussion here from someone who purchased the TripleTreds:

THANKS
I just needed to hear some feedback from Honda peeps before ordering them
I'm going to go ahead and get them today.

I belong to 8 other forums and none of them restrict cross-postings. What is the problem here?
Perhaps you could direct me to the section in the "Terms of Service" that expressly prohibits links to other forums? I would like to understand this position better.

Why exactly is that? Are we afraid our members might get too much information? Or perhaps we have some sort of inferiority complex?

The triple treads are an awesome tire overall. Good snow, ice, rain, and dry tire. I live in Michigan and have triples treads on my 01 CRV AWD and my 96 Accord LX. I do not have a complaint about these tires what soever.

My response answered that question by referring them to feedback from someone who had purchased these tires. If it helped the thread starter, that's what matters. Your opinion is inconsequential.

Perhaps I didn't feel that your response was falling under the category of 'polite" and "respectful", or maybe I was influenced by some of your recent interchanges in other threads. Regardless, I have found you to be a knowledgeable and helpful member of this forum, but I think it is appropriate to point out when you may have overstepped your bounds.
