Mastercraft Avenger G/T Tire Review & Rating
With its old school design and raised white letters on select sizes, the Mastercraft Avenger G/T is ideally suited for older muscle cars or trucks.
Mastercraft has incorporated an all-season M+S rated tread compound with an attractive asymmetric tread pattern that delivers competent dry traction and handling. The tire’s void ratio has been created to increase its tire-to-road contact for enhanced handling performance and a boost in treadwear.
A solid center rib and refined tread elements not only quicken steering response, but further help with treadlife. The Avenger G/T’s shoulder slots are designed to improve traction on both dry or wet pavement.
An optimized tread pitch sequence reduces road noise and increases ride comfort, which is a plus for this tire and one that is often mentioned in driver reviews on this tire.
Mastercraft offers a range of 14-16 inch sizes with S or T-speed ratings. A 50K mile tread warranty is also provided on this model.
Pros
- Old school aggressive tread design
- Dry traction and handling
- Ride comfort
Cons
- Winter traction
Overall Thoughts
While arguably not a high-performance tire like a Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 Plus or Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus and many others in the truest sense of the word, this Avenger G/T from Mastercraft is ideally suited for drivers of older muscle cars and other types of older vehicles.
Raised white letters really sets this tire off and come as a nice touch from Mastercraft. Naturally, it goes without saying that this tire is not designed to drive in rough winter weather conditions. Handling and cornering are average, but if you’re looking for a tire that holds like glue in the corners, this is not it. It’s not what this tire was designed for.
Overall, the Mastercraft Avenger G/T offers similar performance to models like the Cooper Cobra GT or BFGoodrich Radial T/A, but at a slightly lower price. It’s a lower-cost option that works well for normal everyday driving, running around town or simply dressing up that older muscle car.

Is there a recall or something? I have had two of these tires blow up in the last six months. The tires are about one year old they are on a 95 silverado that I only drive on Sundays. So they are fairly new, maybe 5000 miles on them.
I have these tires on my 1998 GMC Sierra. A slightly larger than factory size at 255/70R15. A much needed improvement over the Goodyear wranglers that came on the truck. They look, and perform excellent on my truck.
also fits Toyota Celica GTS 1983-85
