Customers think the Firestone Affinity Touring tire delivers strong dry traction and responsive handling, with many ratings in the 8-10 range for confident cornering and stability. However, treadwear receives mixed feedback, with some noting rapid wear and inconsistent tread life. Comfort is polarizing-some praise a smooth, quiet ride, while others report harshness and road noise. Winter traction is a concern, with low scores (often 0-5) suggesting limited capability in snow and ice. Wet performance also draws criticism, including hydroplaning risks and reduced grip in rainy conditions. While dry performance shines, the tire’s all-season versatility is questioned due to its winter and wet limitations.

...Dry traction is exceptional...
These tires have a very smooth ride and exceptional wet traction in the rain. They provide very good steering response. Dry traction is exceptional. They are original equipment tires on a 2013 Honda Civic LX 4 door sedan with electronic traction and steering control. I have owned the vehicle for 2 weeks since the last weekend in April, 2013. I have to wait until winter to know how these tires can handle snow and ice conditions on the roads. Time will tell how well the tread will wear on these tires.

I have been pleased with them. this car is my daily run around car, but I do drive quite spirited and love the way they grip. The tires work perfect in dry and rain conditions quiet,and super smooth rolling.
In snow they work not too well but you have to understand you are not driving on mud/snow tires, so you will slide. I have gotten a great 68k out of these tires, which I'm happy with. but since they are worn down, I'm replacing them before winter.

Mixed scores for wet traction, with many 0-6 ratings indicating slippery performance and tendency to hydroplane. Disappointing for an all-season tire, needs improvement.

Rotated tires every 6,000 miles. Insides are cupped and tread is gone. VERY loud tire, poor in rain, with abs I shouldn't have to slide to a stop.

OE tire slips very easely on wet road. Even slips on dry road under hard accelaration. No real problem on hot dry road. My traction control often slowes engine when pulling out or cornering under accelaration due to tire slippage. Even going up hill in the rain can be difficult, I have to accelarate very slowly. other cars passing but if I press on pedal more tires spin. This is probably the worst tire that I have ever driven.

...These things have the worst traction wet, and absolutely useless in snow from 1/4 up...
WORST tires I have ever had on a car. These things have the worst traction wet, and absolutely useless in snow from 1/4" up. These came on my 15' Civic SE, and if I had the money to replace these tires on a new car I would do it in a second. These are terrible tires. If you live in any snow areas, DO NOT buy these for any reason. I may bite the bullet and just replace them before I get killed sliding off the road AGAIN.

Winter traction ratings show widespread dissatisfaction, with many scoring 0-5. Customers report slippery conditions, loss of traction, and getting stuck. While some rate 7-10, the majority highlight unacceptable winter performance for an all-season tire.

These tires are awful in the snow and ice. I am going to get rid of them and purchase a better set of all season tires as these are treacherous on any kind of snow or ice...
These tires were included when I purchased a slightly used Honda civic. On dry pavement, they are fine, but I live in the Midwest where there is lots of snow, ice, and precipitation. These tires are awful in the snow and ice. I am going to get rid of them and purchase a better set of all season tires as these are treacherous on any kind of snow or ice. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

I live in upstate New York. I NEED traction and handling. I got a month into December after I purchased the new vehicle. The least amount of snow and the handling went away. Off went the Firestone, on went the Michelin. I finished using them again toward the spring, a few years later when the Michelin were worn out.

The road noise from these tires is unbareable. The traction on wet roads is subpar. It time for me to buy new tires and the Kumho Touring A/S 795 looks attractive at 40$ a tire.

These tires are crap! Ive had two sets because I had to buy them at different times and wanted to keep them matched. They wear quicky, cup frequently, and cost too much for what they are-i.e. "OEM cheapies". I wish I had bought four of some other kind to begin with. Live and learn.
