Is the Starfire Solarus AS good for winter driving?

It is an all-season tire, so it handles light snow but not deep snow or ice. For real winters, use a dedicated winter tire.

How long should the Solarus AS last?

Starfire backs it with a 50,000-mile limited treadwear warranty. Actual life depends on rotation, alignment and driving style.

It comes in 14- to 18-inch sizes, including 235/65R17. Check your vehicle's door-jamb placard for the exact size.

How does it compare with premium all-season tires?

It costs less and gives up some wet and winter grip. It is a reasonable choice for mild climates and budget-minded drivers.

Is the Solarus AS quiet?

Owners generally describe it as quiet and smooth for a budget tire, though noise grows as it wears.

Our take on the Starfire Solarus AS Tire

The Starfire Solarus AS is an all-season tire for passenger cars and small crossovers, sold in 14- to 18-inch sizes. It is Starfire's budget line, a Goodyear-owned brand, and pairs an all-season tread with a 50,000-mile limited treadwear warranty. It suits drivers who want a low-cost replacement tire for commuting and mild weather. Against premium all-season tires it gives up some wet grip and winter traction, and owners report it rides and wears reasonably for the money.
