The AVID Ascend LX is Yokohama's Standard Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of sedans, coupes, crossovers and minivans who want a quiet ride and confident wet performance combined with dependable winter traction and long tread life. The AVID Ascend LX is designed to deliver grip in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even in 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 LX tires branded with the BluEarth symbol are identified on their Sizes and Specs pages.
The symmetric pattern of the AVID Ascend LX features an offset design and a five-block pitch sequence to help reduce pattern and road noise for a comfortable, quiet ride. The tread is molded from Yokohama's L-2 all-season compound that features a unique polymer blend designed to enhance wear resistance, and the wider, flatter tread contour helps to evenly distribute pressure within the footprint to combat uneven wear and improve tire longevity. The wide, circumferential and lateral grooves evacuate water from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning, and wavy 3D sipes in the shoulders plus notches in the intermediate ribs create biting edges for traction in light snow and on ice.
Internally, a polyester casing aids ride comfort and supports two wide, steel belts. A nylon reinforcement provides high-speed capability and enhances handling and durability.

El patrón simétrico del AVID Ascend LX posee un diseño escalonado en una secuencia de cinco segmentos que reduce el ruido del patrón y la calle, ofreciendo un andar más confortable. El compuesto de caucho L-2 para toda estación de Yokohama posee una combinación única de polímeros, diseñada para mejorar la resistencia al desgaste. El contorno más ancho y plano de la huella ayuda a distribuir la presión equitativamente en el área de contacto con la carretera para combatir el desgaste irregular y mejorar la longevidad del neumático. Canales circunferenciales anchos y ranuras laterales evacuan el agua del área de contacto con la carretera para resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning).

Breaking Down Tire Performance Categories - 2024 Special Test With Winter Update (26:05)
We understand that tire performance categories can be confusing. You want an all-season tire, but there are several all-season categories; how do you know which one is right for you? You want a summer tire, but again, which summer category? In this special demonstration, we took six all-season tires from three all-season categories and three summer tires from two summer categories to lay it out for you. Category-leading tires from the Standard Touring All-Season, Grand Touring All-Season, Ultra High Performance All-Season, Max Performance Summer, and Extreme Performance Summer categories are tested so you can see exactly what each "step up" gets you as a driver and what trade-offs were made along the way.
Drivers consistently rate the Yokohama AVID Ascend LX highly for its excellent treadwear (9-10 scores), with many noting it holds up well over time. Comfort receives strong praise for a smooth, quiet ride (8-10 scores), while winter traction earns positive marks in snow (7-10 scores) though ice performance shows occasional lower ratings (0-7 scores). Wet traction is generally reliable (7-10 scores), with a few mentions of reduced hydroplaning resistance in heavy rain. Dry traction stands out as a consistent strength (8-10 scores), delivering confident handling and stability. Overall, customers find it a dependable all-season option, with ice traction being the only notable area for cautious consideration.

...The tires I had on before these tires would break traction in the rear, in wet weather on a cambered curve if I had a little too much speed. With these tires the rear tires I have not broken traction on the same curves going the same speeds...
This seems like a good overall tire. The tires aren't too noisy and I feel pretty confident in wet weather. My Merc has standard rear wheel drive so, if I get on it too much in the wet weather it will spin the rear tire. The tires I had on before these tires would break traction in the rear, in wet weather on a cambered curve if I had a little too much speed. With these tires the rear tires I have not broken traction on the same curves going the same speeds. I install winter tires for the winter so, I have no input about how they handle in snow. Have had the tires for a year and so far, they have been a good purchase.

...I had to drive several hours in a recent snow storm and they did surprisingly well! While other cars around me were slipping, I had nice traction with a Prius that had only FWD and these all-season tires!...
After some research on tires that have a low-rolling resistance and provide good MPG, I decided to go with these based on other reviews. So far after over 12,000 miles, these tires are doing great! They get slightly better MPG than my previous Cooper tires that came with my used Prius and are overall much better. They have nice traction and handling for a standard-touring tire on both dry and wet roads. I had to drive several hours in a recent snow storm and they did surprisingly well! While other cars around me were slipping, I had nice traction with a Prius that had only FWD and these all-season tires! It looks like there is barely any tread wear yet, so they look promising for lasting many more miles! Overall, I would recommend these tires to anyone who is look for a basic, yet very reliable tire!

...We just had a decent snowfall back in November here in central PA and these tires handled with pretty good ease.
First time customer with these tires at the first year mark and they very well may be my go-to from now on. Minus some slippage from flood spots recently they have done very well I feel. Tread is still good. I don't know exactly how many miles I have on them, but my mechanic has said nothing to me thus far about having to replace them.

...They're also extremely good on dry roads, don't make much road noise, and ride extremely smoothly...
Got these to replace the factory tires that had become worn out. I wanted something with a high treadlife that was also quiet, comfortable, and capable of handling Indiana winters. This turned out to be perfect for that. We got a fairly brutal snow storm not too long ago, and these tires handled it like champs. I haven't felt this stable on snow in a long time. They're also extremely good on both wet and dry roads, don't make much road noise, and ride extremely smoothly. I used to have a bit of steering vibration on my old tires when getting to 60-70 MPH on the interstate, but that's completely gone with these.

...The handle and tread wear are my favorite...
These are the best tires I have ever purchased. So glad I found them on your site. I have tried so many different brands of tires over the years and have always been disappointed. I will always purchase Yokohama tires from now on. Very impressed all around with this tire. The handle and tread wear are my favorite. It is also a smooth quite ride. When I drive, I drive the car and these tires have met the test. Will purchase the same exact tires again!!
