About This Tire

The Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max 225/55R17 is an all-season tire designed for car, coupe, van, and crossover drivers who prioritize fuel economy and long treadwear in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on low rolling resistance technology while maintaining balanced wet and dry traction capabilities.

The tire features Fuel Max Technology with a specialized all-season compound molded into distinct tread zones. Inboard and outboard Dry Tread Zones use strong shoulder blocks for enhanced dry handling, while the central Wet Tread Zone incorporates Dual Aquachannel grooves for water evacuation. A notched center rib works with circumferential shoulder grooves to balance stability and traction. Driver feedback points to reliable performance across wet and dry conditions, with solid comfort levels and predictable treadwear characteristics.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for passenger vehicles used primarily for daily commuting and highway driving in varied weather conditions.
