It's not uncomfortable - it's just not a tire optimized for comfort. Tires that are optimized for comfort lack in handling or responsiveness. This is a "sport" tire, and acts like one - while delivering a good level of "comfort" as well. These tires hug the road and don't slip. They grip well and provide safety because of that.

I put them on a 2008 MX5 Miata Sport to replace the OEM brand tires which to be honest, have had very good results with on it and other cars. But I find the Goodyear's are quieter, smoother riding and the wet traction even in fairly heavy rain is outstanding. I'd have to go as far as say they're very confidence inspiring in the wet on my small lightweight car. I believe they are as good a handling tire on a Miata for street use as anyone would need. A great feature is the rim protection strip that protrudes out about a 1/4 inch from the rim to help protect the wheel itself against abrasion damage. They're also a good looking tire for an all season that even looks like they belong on a sportscar. Unless I get a drive in another totally stock MX5 with different tires and they seem to do better, these are it from here on.

I absolutely love these tires and don't want any other. Great feature is the lip that sticks out that protects my rim from curbs. I ran each set for 50,000 miles before replacing them. I feel very confident with these tires in N.J.'s all climate weather. Priced reasonably too.

Bought car with brand new milestar tires on n they wouldnt even go in an inch of snow. Couldnt even make it up a hill. So i bought these tires n theyre awesome. Comfortable, quiet, great traction in snow, ice, n rain. Definately recommended these tires

My car (2012 VW Jetta 2.5 SEL) handles super super nice....finally got a chance to try these tires out in the rain this past week and wow! What a ride. Excellent handling in wet or dry conditions (I live in FL so have no idea about snow), a nice ride and when it rained, the traction was awesome. Loving having these new "shoes" on my awesome car.

I purchased this 2008 HHR SS in Ohio (I live in a suburb of Chicago) after learning via telephone from the salesman that the dealership had just installed them. That information sealed the deal for me. I have been using Goodyear tires for years. These tires are great. They are a little noisy which I attribute to the Heavy Duty Suspension and the very low profile of the tire. The noise is very slight and most people would not even notice. There is no difference in traction whether I am driving on dry roads or wet roads. This last winter in Chicago was the worst in over thirty (30) years and I had no problem driving through all the snow and slush. Kudos to Goodyear for building such a great tire!

The staff, had initially placed a new tire on a bent rim, that I believe they bent allowing the tire to bounce as they took it off my car. They chose not to tell me that the rim was obviously bent, and chose to renin quiet and install the new tire anyway. Then they placed the front tires, a different size, on the rear, and as i drove away the bigger rear tires were rubbing the wheel wells. I was stuck for tires on July 4th, otherwise I would never go there again.

Purchased these tires because my wife's Acura MDX was needing to have new tires and decided to give these a try based on the price and previous reviews. A good tire for the money. Minimal road noise and the ride is smooth. Drove through torrential rain conditions and car felt solid. No snow so cannot speak to it's snow traction, but I am sure these will do fine (but we'll see).

Tires are great. Bought car new in September 2007. I have been through 2 sets of Michelin and 1 set of Continental. So far theses tires are better handling, better looking and better riding than the 3 previous sets. Have driven them about 5000 miles. Love the rim protectors on the tires. CTS has 134,000+plus miles

Have only had the tires for a couple of months but they are much better so far than my OEM tires that came on the car originally, especially for handling. Great in corners. Gave them a four in winter traction only because I haven't used them in the snow yet.
