Does this tire fit your vehicle?

Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The AVID Ascend GT is Yokohama's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of sedans, coupes, crossovers and minivans who want a refined ride and noise comfort combined with long life and confident all-season traction. The AVID Ascend GT is designed to deliver grip in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even light snow.

Yokohama BluEarth branding is used to identify an ecologically friendly series of tires that are designed to deliver environmentally, human and socially friendly solutions for drivers and their vehicles. AVID Ascend GT tires branded with the BluEarth symbol are identified on their Sizes and Specs pages.

The asymmetric pattern of the AVID Ascend GT helps optimize grip in all weather conditions, and the tread profile is specifically engineered to create a stable contact patch for improved traction and wear. The tread pitch variation and Outside Adaptive Shoulder Blocks are designed with a focus on noise attenuation for a quiet driving experience. Four deep, circumferential grooves utilize asymmetric widths to aid standing water evacuation through the footprint, while the inside shoulder features open notches to allow water to pass through. Yokohama's TriBLEND Compound Technology all-season compound utilizes a low-Tg polymer and high silica content for grip in inclement weather, and the Triple 3-D Sipes and notched tread blocks create the biting edges needed for light snow traction.

Internally, a polyester casing aids ride comfort and supports two wide, steel belts. A full nylon cover works with the square profile shape to help resist deflection under cornering loads for more controlled, predictable handling in dry and wet conditions while also providing high-speed capability.

Winter capabilities show robust deep snow traction, though some note reduced confidence on ice. Riders praise the comfortable, quiet experience for an off-road tire, with noise levels often scoring 8-10. Treadwear ratings (8-10) highlight durable construction suited for rugged use. While most categories perform well within intended off-road conditions, a few lower winter scores suggest varying experiences in extreme ice scenarios.

...Traction on pavement is superb, dry, wet, and flooded. They really bite into the road and propel you forward...

So i bought these soon after they came out, in the LT size, because while i wanted an LT tire, there were previously only 2 other AT tires in an LT size available that would fit my stock renegade, and i wasn't interested in either.

These are 4lbs lighter than the equivalent sized KO2, with a 1/16" deeper tread. And a little less open pattern, which i hoped would result in better wet pavement handling.

Over only driven on these a few weeks now. Traction on pavement is superb, dry, wet, and flooded. They really bite into the road and propel you forward. Cornering and responsiveness is a little stiff, though I'm still working out the best PSI since my little jeep is far lighter than these tires were meant for. Overall ride is comfortable. Very little noise, easy to tune it out

Off road, they do very well. I've put over 100 miles on them in Florida's forests and swamps. Aired down they excel in the multiple types of sand I've driven in. I tried to get them to spin out and couldn't. Great in the dirt too, over rocks and logs. They cling and climb well. Did well in the mud, though in packed wet sandy mud they don't excel at self cleaning, i had to spin them a bit to get them clear and digging again. And aired down, the ride is quite comfortable over rough terrain and gritty, rocky roads.

I can't comment on performance in snow or ice. I expect they'd do quite well. Overall I'm quite happy with them. If i can, I'll update this as time goes on, how they wear, etc.

...Rain and wet driving provides the same comfort as dry driving and I have only had one instance of extreme hydroplaning. The rain was out of control on that day and the freeway had plugged drainage system. There was numerous places with over 3 inch deep puddles that immediately sent the pickup off course...

These tires caught my attention because of the more moderate All-Terrain tread pattern vs. the more aggressive Duratrac and more highway orientated All-Terrain Adventure w/Kevlar. I have had both and experienced different traits with both. Duratrac wears horribly uneven on the lugs unless you rotate them every 2500 miles. All-Terrain Adventure w/Kevlar was a great all around seasonal tire, with a tread pattern more designed for highway only driving - in my opinion.

The Workhorse AT delivers a tread pattern similar or almost Identical to the discontinued Trailrunner AT. It has proven to be a great choice for my location and the adverse weather we encounter. it can be over 100 F in the summer and a has been to -30 F in the winter. I drive on snow every winter, I have 2 mountain passes I have to drive through on occasion. Having the peace of mind of a high quality tire is always appreciated.

Summer driving is mostly highway and unimproved gravel / chip seal / compact dirt roads. These tires excel in all aspects.

Rain and wet driving provides the same comfort as dry driving and I have only had one instance of extreme hydroplaning. The rain was out of control on that day and the freeway had plugged drainage system. There was numerous places with over 3 inch deep puddles that immediately sent the pickup off course. 60mph into a small lake will do that to any tire. Otherwise, the tires have no problem traversing standard amounts of water on the road.

Winter and snow driving is great. We get mixed results with how our highway is plowed, scraped, graveled or de-iced. As any tire on direct ice, these will travel a bit, but on compact snow, deep snow, graveled highway etc. Theses tires pass my scrutiny well.

Overall I'm happy with the purchase, and will definitely consider this tire again in the future. Granted, I have only gone 6000 miles with this vehicle in one year, which is half the national average, I expect them to continue to serve my needs well.

...Only weak point is less traction in wet conditions, while acceptable and safe, I have noticed a bit less traction vs my OEM Hankook Dynapro AT2...

Tires are all about offs, consider your individual needs and conditions when buying. These workhorse ATS are a great winter tire and work well with my truck. I was impressed by this tire in subzero conditions and roads COVERED in snow and ice. Traction both accelerating and stopping was very good. Dry road manners are good as well. I live on a hard pack dirt road and have been happy with the traction. Highway noise is very good (for an AT tire). Only weak point is wet traction, while acceptable and safe, I have noticed a bit less traction in wet conditions vs my OEM Hankook Dynapro AT2. But the increase in off road, dirt, and winter conditions is worth the trade off for my conditions. My tires say they are made in Mexico (if that matters to you). I tow as well (~8000 lbs) and these tires have performed well and have a strong load rating. Overall I am very happy with this tire, but if I lived in Florida for example I would look elsewhere for better wet traction. If you live in a 4 season climate and genuinely need to buy a snowblower, this tire is a great well rounded option.

These tires were mounted the Friday before the blizzard that hit us starting late Saturday night through to early Monday morning. Had about one and a half feet of snow over an 1/8 inch layer of ice (freezing rain hit us first). Drove into work that Monday morning and the tires performed exceptionally well too and from, over a couple hills and at intersections (stopping and starting). Very happy with this composition of tires, will absolutely buy again when these are worn out. Should note that I was running them about -3 PSI in the snow and ice.

...This winter in Minnesota, we've had two major snowstorms ( 14 inches and 12 inches) and several minor snows. These tires have done excellent in the snow and icy conditions...

I bought these tires as replacements for the factory set seeking excellent snow traction while still riding nicely on dry roads and highways. This winter in Minnesota, we've had two major snowstorms (14 inches and 12 inches) and several minor snows. These tires have done excellent in the snow and icy conditions. Also, riding on the dry highway, they are only slightly noisier and less smooth than the original tires. Only slightly. I've quite happy with the snow performance. I also do not notice any difference in handling or braking between this set and my original tires. Since it is still winter, I have not had a chance to run these in the rain or mud. Since the tires are relatively new, I cannot comment on durability. Based on how these have handled the winter conditions, I would buy these again.

I cannot believe how quiet and comfortable these tires are. Like driving on grand touring tires, but they are light truck tires. Because I live in a state that you literally can go from rain snow and any other weather conditions all in one day. I really got to try these out in the rain on the coast, mountain pass snow and dry roads. They did great. Glad to have great tires.
