I have a 2010 Highlander Limited. Initially these tires did well, but the more miles that were on the tires the noisier they got. Now with around 30k on the tires they are so noisy that I am thinking of replacing them, even though there is plenty of tread left. I have always rotated the tires regularly and there is no visible wear issues on the tires. Readers should only consider reviews with 15k or more miles. You will see a common complaint.

I researched the Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires before I made the purchase, and was glad that I did. These tires had all of the attributes that I was looking for in a reasonably-priced tire. They offer a very quiet ride in comparison to the previous tires, and have great traction on wet surfaces. I haven't had the tires long enough to test them in snowy conditions, but I feel confident that they will excel in snow as well. I know that Goodyear's advertisement states the aforementioned qualities, but my comments are based on real life city and highway conditions. I liked these tires so well that I put a set on my wife's car also.

I wanted quiet and these have satisfied that requirement. Handling, on the other hand, is an issue that, in all fairness, may or may not be the fault of the tires. I've had the car checked twice and everything related to handling is reported to be in fine shape. Yet, I find myself correcting when cornering far more than I do when I drive other cars. Is it the car or the tires? I suspect a bit of both. I just drove through a lake-effect snow squall between Erie and Buffalo, with accumulation, and did not slip even once.

This were OK tires. I have had Goodyear Triples and loved them. These I do not recommend. I had a set of four installed on the Veloster as I needed an All Season tire. I notice wear which I felt was getting too much. When the tires where being rotated as they are every 2500 miles or so, the technician noted that although the tire looked relatively fine on the side facing out, the inside face was splitting. One tire was so badly split, the cords were showing and it was recommended I not drive the car. I replaced that tire so I could get back home.

Good ride and skid depth. They are balanced. The on center steering is a little slow for my liking, but it is an SUV. I appreciate the tread pattern for not being overly aggressive for an SUV tire. I will not be going off-road and drive mostly highway, and so the net/gross for this tread is much more suitable to my application.

The Assurance CS tires I put on my Honda Pilot AWD are very very quiet and provide a smooth ride on pavement and asphalt surfaces. I have driven in rain and light snow so far and was able to brake smooth and cleanly without sliding or skiding. I love these tires so far after 2 months use!

The Assurance CS FuelMax tires far outperform the OE tires that came on the vehicle. They're quiet and ride well, yet have great traction in wet and snow. They are really getting a test here in Detroit this winter with all the snow we are having. Even though my Escape is only 2WD, I have the confidence like it was 4WD!

The side wall on two that I can tell have a indented band I'm not seeing on the other two. Not sure if it's a defective or not but where the valve markers and the stem are you can definitely tell they are off. As for gas mileage... I think it's just how they market the tire. Over priced.

Living and driving in NYC is not easy . These tires have been a God send ! They have helped me avoid accidents quite a few times when I've had to stop short ( thanks to pedestrians crossing against the lights, cars making illegal turns or stopping short , being cut off) all the usual things a driver encounters when you drive here ! Thank you good year for always making great tires !

When I bought my car 2 years ago these tires were on it. My Suv had only 24000 miles, When I replace them I had 63000 mile. I got my money worth. These tires are great for the winter. Last month when we got a ton of snow. I had no problem getting around town. I am so glad I bought them. I am sad that they are being discontinued. But now I have 60000 miles to figure out what next. Thank you Good Year!!!
