I think I understand more about tire noise. There are two types of noise. The rolling noise and the hard hitting noise of tires hitting potholes and other irregularities in the road. The rolling noise is low. The bumps are like what I am used to maybe better at deadening noise. There is something about these tires that make it very hard to relax and drive in a straight line. I have had almost all the front suspension parts replaced and alignment done twice and it is still a chore to drive. It is no fun to drive. Before I got the new tires, parts and alignment I used to enjoy driving this car. I own 5 other vehicles including this one now and I have never had tires make such a difference that I don't even want to drive it any more.

The 19" wheels on my 2018 Honda Accord Touring made the ride harsh, and the OEM tires were very loud. I was almost ready to sell or trade it in. These tires made a HUGE difference. Not only is the road noise completely gone, I can now take small bumps easily and the ride is so much more comfortable. These tires work great just as advertised. Highly recommend. P.S. - I really can't comment no tread life or winter traction at this point since I haven't had them long enough.

I bought 4 new tires for my 2017 GMC Acadia and I couldn't be any happier. They drive like a dream. Very quiet and handle well. I do a lot of highway driving back and forth to work and I love the way they grip the road. We just had our first snow and handled like a dream. Bravo Goodyear. I will be purchasing four more for my wife's car.

These tires have excellent grip, are very quiet, and kill road feel. There's no driver feedback, and it just deadens everything, isolating the car from the road 100%. Handling is mildly vague. They certainly take all the fun out of driving, so if you like a playful or sporty handling car, this is not your tire. But if you prize a quiet, sedate, soft ride with excellent traction and don't care about sportiness or feeling the road, this is about as good as it gets.

Review is based on 3 weeks of driving in Toyota Highlander AWD Hybrid. Good handling and traction on dry and wet roads (no snow roads yet). Low road noise. My only concern after 700 miles is the reduction in MPG. Went from 36 MPG to 33.7MPG. Also, the PSI in these tires during the first week varied a lot with 20-degree temperature swings. Seems to have leveled out now but will keep an eye on it.

You know the old saying "you only get what you pay for" Well I always tried to get the highest milage expectation for the lowest price. Every time I would end up being dissatisfied with the road noise or stiff ride. This time I decided to focus on ride comfort and quiet road noise. I selected Goodyear's "ComfortDrive". I couldn't be happier to this point, as advertised performance! The ride seems to be better now than at any time that I've owned this Maxima in the past 9 years. By the way, it's nice to be so happy with a purchase that you want to write a good review! Scott V

This tire is decent. The major pro for this tire is that it is very quite. It has good traction and soft ride. However, it doesn't handle bumps very well. It's not a performance tire, so the handling and breaking is is what you can expect from a soft tire. Wet traction is OK but you certainly can tell a difference from the dry. My specific install was for 4 tires that weren't from the same date code, which in fact spans for 3 years. I would say that if you can get this tire with a good rebate, that is a great value for money.

While it may sound like I am talking out of both sides of my mouth, what I love about these tires is also what I hate about them. They deaden everything. On a nice sunny day drive this is perfect. In heavy rain, not being able to feel the road is a major downside to me. I previously had the Comfortred touring and these are supposed to have replaced them as an "upgrade" I can tell you that the Comfortred touring was 100% the superior tire. These are very good tires and I have never lost traction even in the heaviest rain. Zero hydroplaning incidents. Just not being able to feel the road during a gully washer is a major negative to me. Not sad that I bought them, but also wouldn't recommend or buy them again either.

Have a 2013 RAV4 and when we replaced the tires that came on Toyota, we used a premier tire that we have been brand loyal to... hint, begins with "M". We aren't disloyal, but had so much road noise, and not a smooth drive. Began to to consider Goodyear brand, as it's reputable, premier, and used in NASCAR, so I decided this would be my next brand. Love the Goodyear Assurance Comfort for All Season driving and sold on the brand for future purchases. We live in NC mountains and I feel safe & confident in all driving conditions since purchasing 6 months ago. Have heard the same from our mechanic, as well as the tire store that we used, they too changed from "M" to Goodyear. Can't comment on other makes & models or trucks, but for RAV4, it's certainly an upgrade!

These GY ComfortDrives replaced the OEM "M's"on my '17 Cadillac XT5, last year, and now have 7,000 miles. The originals were very good tires, but these GY's outperform them in ride comfort, secure handling, and traction. Also, the tires balanced out perfectly. Most favorable is the outstanding interstate highway touring. Highly recommend and will instal these on my other car when needed.
