Arroyo might not be a familiar brand for you, but they offer a lineup of passenger and light truck tires (as well as commercial truck and bus tires) that are packed with innovation, quality, and value. The Arroyo Grand Sport A/S is no exception; this is a tire that delivers all-season traction along with crisp cornering, short braking distances, and nimble steering response of an ultra-high-performance tire, all at a price point that’s lower than that of many premium brands.
The Grand Sport A/S is designed for performance and value, but don’t just take our word for it here – let’s go in for a closer look with this Arroyo Grand Sport A/S review:
Features and Benefits
Here are a few of the bullet points that make the Arroyo Grand Sport A/S a standout performer and a great value:
- 5-rib tread design boosts traction and resists hydroplaning with four wide circumferential grooves that channel water through and behind the tire’s contact patch
- Innovative anti-eccentric-wear ribs toward the shoulders are designed to fight uneven wear, with uniform contact pressure that puts more rubber in contact with the road
- Advanced tread formulation is engineered for long wear and tenacious grip
- Tread pitch variation is computer-tuned to cancel certain frequencies and resonances for a quiet driving experience
- Lateral and angled grooves boost traction on wet or dry pavement and disrupt airflow across the tread for lower noise
- A dense network of sipes multiplies traction with hundreds of hair-thin slits that serve as biting edges in wet or wintry weather
- Backed by a 40,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life
- Solid center rib in tread enhances steering response as well as straight-line stability on the highway
Pros and Cons
So, is this Arroyo tire the right choice for your ride and budget? Before you decide, let’s consider the tire’s pros and cons.
PROS:
- Handling properties are great
- Ride quality is compliant and refined
- Dependable traction on wet or dry pavement
CONS:
- The tire should not be used in moderate to severe winter weather conditions
- Some drivers report excessive noise on some pavement surfaces
SimpleTire’s view on Arroyo Grand Sport A/S tires
Arroyo classifies the Grand Sport A/S tire as a UHP all-season tire, and we feel that’s a pretty fair assessment. The Grand Sport A/S delivers confident performance in rainy or light wintry conditions, with handling, cornering, steering response, and braking that are more in line with what you might expect from a summer tire or UHP tire. That’s a real plus when you bear in mind that most UHP and summer tires use a tread compound that’s softer and stickier for good mechanical grip on the pavement, but which will also stiffen up and lose traction on colder days. Most tire manufacturers advise against using UHP or summer tires if temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F. Not so with the Arroyo Grand Sport A/S, a tire that’s a good pick for year-round performance thanks to its advanced silica-rich tread compound.
Cornering is confident right up to the vehicle’s limits, braking distances are short and steering feedback is great. Straight-line stability on the highway is as secure as if you’re driving an armored car, but it’s never sluggish – steering response to driver commands is sharp without being touchy or overly sensitive. The 40,000 mile warranty might sound a little short but remember that most UHP tires don’t offer treadwear mileage coverage at all. Whether you like to push the envelope a little and explore what your vehicle can do or if you just need good value in an all-season tire that offers great handling, it’s our opinion that the Grand Sport A/S from Arroyo is a great value in an all-season tire for sedans, minivans, coupes, and crossovers. Our SimpleScore rankings for the Grand Sport A/S are pretty respectable for such an affordable tire: 8.6 for longevity, 8.4 for handling, 8.2 for traction, and a composite score of 8.1 overall.

I've used Yokohama tires for very long time switched over to Arroyo tires and they were better than Yokohama and a better price. I have to mention this to my friends they should switch over to tires.

This is the 3rd set of tires I have bought from simple tire and the entire experience has been great as far as the tires go I haven't had the chance to experience a cold winter in them but they are all around decent and get the job done.

I have been disappointed with these tires from day one of ownership. The good: The tread seems to be wearing normally, and the traction is decent in wet and dry conditions. Breaking traction remains solid in a straight line. The bad: They wander and don't hold a straight line at freeway speeds. With the recommended tire pressure they roll over onto the sidewalls as if the sidewall is supposed to be the contact patch while cornering. After increasing the tire pressure significantly I still get roll over, but I am no longer concerned that my rim might touch the ground. -- Bottom line, I do not recommend these tires for anyone that wants to do more than drive around their neighborhood.

Plenty of dry grip to have some spirited fun. Good control in the wet too, just be cautious (plenty of deer jumping out and testing reflexes on rainy nights) Have not driven in snow, but can imagine they are decent.

So far, so good. I am in Florida, so no true winter use. An all season is perfect for our weather. Have not experienced them in the wet yet, but I am confident in them feeling them thus far. I have noticed a little road noise, but far less than my old tires. In this size, some noise is to be absolutely expected. Wear rating will have to wait to be verified, but again happy with my purchase so far. Thoroughly surprised at their quality at this price. Will definitely consider Arroyo tires for future installs.
