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 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.

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!

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.

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.

Bj's initially installed the wrong tires on my car. They installed the GY Assurance comforted touring tires. They corrected their mistake and installed the maxlife which I ordered. I must say after having both tires on my car in a matter of two weeks the maxlife ride much better than the comforted touring. Less noise, smoother ride and better handling. I cannot rate them for winter conditions since I am in FL but 5 stars otherwise. If you want a more comfortable, smoother and better handling tire then go with maxlife over comforted touring, plus they have 85,000 mile tread-life warranty which is 15,000 more than the comforted touring tire. You can't go wrong here.

I bought online and they are installed on tire shop which was certified by Goodyear. First ride was very noisy, full of vibration and feeling everything on the road, I back to shop after three times they said one of your tire is bumpy and we should change it, they change it, noise and vibration reduce but still is not good and I do not have time to leave my job soon and back to shop and discuss with shop, In addition it seems the material of tire is too tough and you can feel all cracks and small bump on the road.

Ride comfort and road noise are both great. Comfortable smooth ride with very little road noise. My only complaint, which is huge to me, is that the website didn't have a good representative picture of the tire that I purchased. All of the other tires in the same size had a rim protector so I made the assumption that the tires I purchased had the rim protector also but they don't. Other than being extremely unhappy with how the tires look I don't have any complaints about the performance of the tires. I wish the picture and the description on the website would have been better so I wouldn't have purchased these tires. I would have gone back to the Goodyear f1 asymmetrics I had on there before.

I wasn't in the market for new tires but ended up needed a new set unexpectedly. Was not pleased about that, but very pleased with these! I had no idea how inferior the factory tires on my car were. My installation appointment was in the middle of a winter storm. Definitely improved traction in the snow/ice/slush on the way home. They are also great on my 20-mile highway commute. Smooth and quiet ride and excellent handling. Would definitely purchase again, but hopefully won't have to think about that for a while if these live up to their expected life.

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.
