I read all of the reviews and several people said this was a quiet tire. I decided to go with them even though the price was a little high. These tires have excellent handling however they are SO LOUD. My ride has been been ruined. I would not recommend them.

These are great tires for the price. They handle well under dry and wet conditions and braking is also above your normal tire even under wet conditions. I would try them on the track, even thou their not a race tire. I would recommend and i would purchase again. I dont know how they handle in the snow as I had to move from my home in the mountains to the valley temporarily.

I've had these tires about a month and they are amazing, so responsive that I had to call the installer to ask about them. It took me awhile to get use to the unbelievable responsiveness. I used them in the rain as well, may as well have been no rain the way these tires handled it. They are still quiet, so no noise issues for me. They are worth every penny!

I had the Assurance tire the last time I bought tires, I got over 60,000 miles on them. Those previous tires were excellent on the highway, I drive over 3,000 miles per month. I also live in Central New York and we have our share of ice and snow and my former set of Goodyear Assurance tires NEVER let me down in the winter. My 2011 Subaru Outback was able to climb out of my steep driveway everyday without fail. This new set of tires is a complete disappointment and I have been left stranded TWICE in the past 10 days because of this tire's terrible traction. Tuesday night was spent in my car in 15 degree weather because of my inability to traverse any of our local roads. These tires are a complete letdown, especially because my last set of Goodyear Assurance tires were awesome.

These tires have great traction and I was happy with them on wet roads. The ride was good but not as good as my wife's Goodyear Comfortread Touring tires. Since they are new, I have yet to drive them in snow. On the downside, they are loud. I can definitely hear them and on the interstate the noise is very noticeable. It is the noise level that causes me to rate them lower than I would have.

235/40 R18. I have a Focus ST, I'm used to summer tires and a more sporty feel. This tire is nice and quiet, that's the best part. Bumps are absorbed better than a summer tires, wet traction is great. The biggest let down is under extreme braking or turning. I used to be able to stomp on the brake and never get a squeal, and the rigidity has been softened as well on this tire. Dry performance is nothing compared to a good/decent summer tire, but these are quieter and more comfortable. I was drawn in by the treadwear rating. These will do a lot of highway miles without blinking, but fall short on dry traction and let go much sooner. But that's to be expected for such a long lasting tire. Overall I wanted a quieter longer lasting highway tire, and that's exactly what I got. Only about 3000 miles on these so far.

The Goodyear Assurance MaxLife tire handles great on wet pavement. I drove through a huge rain storm with lots of flooding on the roads and was surprised how well the traction was. They are a little noisy and ride a little rough. Can't speak for the tread life or wear since I have only have them a month and a half. I would definitely recommend.

Happy so far with these tires. Runs smoothly down the highway and do far no complaints with traction both rain and snow. Replaced the Bridgestone Ecopia tires I had on my Honda CR-V which were terrible traction wise and tread wore down quickly. I've always had good experiences with Goodyear tires and believe these will not disappoint!

Purchased these tires after the OE tires ( continental procontact) reaches the end of their useful life right at 50k. I've put about 5k on these tires and have not found anything to complain about yet. Extremely quite compared to the OE and the a good deal more comfortable.

Very comfortable ride which was my first objective along with long life. Tire has more tread depth than most other tires. Like the design as this influences the quietness of the tire. At 72 years old I have had Michelin, Pirelli, and other top of the line tires. Currently this tire may be the best. Kudos to Goodyear for making an excellent tire.
