Although my car is capable of 160+ mph, I'll never drive anywhere near that so these tires rated at 118 mph are fine. Beyond that, the ride is smoother, more quiet and handling is better than the tires that were originally on the car new and which cost roughly 2.5 times as much. As for traction, that word is not in the original tire's manufacturer's dictionary but on dry and wet pavement, these Assurance tires wrote the book! Traction and handling on snow and/or ice is pretty good but considering my car weighs ~4,700 lbs, the momentum that can be generated can make any tire that normally would stick like glue turn into ice skates but, these Assurance tires are relatively aptly named because although the snow can get deep in Wisconsin, reasonable driving habits combined with the traction these provide on snow and ice have made it such that I rarely have issues.

The minute I drove out of the parking lot I could FEEL the difference in my car with these new tires!!! On the way in I felt like I was riding on an old Rollercoaster. Jarring, bumpy, loud, rough!!! My drive home with the new tires was superrrr smooth!! Going over the speed bumps in my complex was the smoothest its ever been! I could feel my car so responsive maneuvering through traffic on the freeway, turning corners, I honest to God cannot believe what a difference these tires make!! Even my butt was not sore after driving over an hour today!! I had no idea tires could and would make such a massive difference! VERY happy!!! **The only reason I haven't rated for wet /rain or weather driving because I just got them today.

This was our second set of these tires. We got about 40k miles on our last set on a dodge grand caravan. They handle well, aren’t too noisy, and lasted an acceptable amount of time. They definitely are not a top of the line tire, but they are very good for the price.

I have been running Tiger Paws forever on my car(s) UNTIL I read about these Assurance Tires...What a difference they made...I purchased about 18 months ago and been though 2 Wisconsin winters and they just ate the snow up traction is great...I've had zero problems with them thus far...Also in the spring wet season handling is no problem with no hydroplaning that I notice...Come summer on some of the more frequent highway driving there is a stretch were my old T.P. would amplify ever line in the pavement..NOT these they have a nice quite smooth ride...Recent long vacation drive in a torrential down pour I had ZERO issues....Glad I choose this tire and would do so again...I do and have recommended to others...VERY HAPPY with both purchases

Twice in three months on the passenger side, once with the back tire and once with the front tire, the tires have come in relatively mild contact with a curb (Ie. the curb made contact with the side of the tire) and have gone immediately flat wiith a puncture-type hole in them. I could hear the air coming out instantly. This has never happened to me once before in my 52 years of life prior to buying these tires. These tires are not only poorly made, but also life-threatening.

I put a lot of miles on my car each year. These miles are anything from driving in major metropolitan areas, to the Badlands of North Dakota, to the northern most roads of Minnesota. I have been running upper end tires for many years. These are a very good tire. They handle great, have excellent traction in snow, ice, dry, and wet roads. When I purchase tires, I am not concerned about tire wear, but handling and performance, and these do BOTH. And one last thing, I did some checking, and my tires are made in the U.S.A.. And Union made. Great Combination ! Great handling and performance and someone gets a Great Job !

I'll never buy Goodyear tires again. I thought I was spending a little extra money to get a decent tire, but the Kelly tires I had prior on another car were much better. I've had an alignment and balancing done twice, and these tires still have a lopsided wobble and thud. You can actually see where the tire is defective.

Had OE tires on my Prius. After 20k they started making lots of noise. Couldn't take it any longer and after 28k started researching on line and decided on these. They've been on for two week now, including a long road trip. Great handling, comfort, and relatively no road noise. Highly recommended.

We purchased our '08 Civic new with a set of Goodyear Assurance tires, and got 85k out of them. We replaced them with another set of Assurances, and have now replaced the stock tires on our Town and Country with them as well. They are quiet, and smooth on the road. They handled the few rain storms we get here in Vegas very well. The roads get so slick between the few storms we get, so the wet traction is important. Even lite snow is not an issue, as we found out on recent ski trip to Utah. Great all around tire for the money.

Hesitant about purchasing these tires, never heard of the Assurance line, but after the dealer said that no Falken A/Ts were in stock, these were recommended. Took a gamble and found I like them . No winter experience yet, but with rain today I gave the tires a workout...handled the load and directional forces great! Comfortable riding tire that makes me feel connected to the road in the dry.
