I have been in the Automotive field for over 40 years as a Mechanic then a Service Director and a Automotive reviewer - this tire handles great in rain , the most forgiving harsh pot hole ride, and by far the quietest ride, I had Michelins on my latest sedan and they were pretty quiet but these ComfotDrive's tires are 8 decibel lower when comparing a tires with 5-6,000 miles on them with my meter .I will see how they are in the snow this winter - they should be good because they have the deepest grooves/ tread of any all-season out there .I will update after this winter season.

These tires came on my 2017 Subaru Legacy new. I have 90,000 miles on the vehicle and I have to finally part ways with the tires. Yes, you read that correctly 90,000 miles. I am the worst customer a tire has ever seen, I don't rotate when I should, I hit curbs all the time, drive aggressively when I am in a hurry (I am in a hurry quite a bit.) and I have not had the car aligned to date. In the summer I drive in torrential thunder storms at least twice a week. All other cars including 4WD pickup trucks, Compact SUV's and full size SUV's are driving down the interstate at 25 miles per hour. I get to buzz along between 60 and 70 MPH in these conditions. I hydroplaned for the first time two weeks ago, time for a new set. They are a bit expensive; however, one would have be a fool not to buy Goodyer comfort drive tires.

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!

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.

After about 2,000 miles on the new tires on my Cadillac XT4, I have to admit I am pretty impressed. Admittedly, the OE Continentals had over 33K miles on them, but these new Goodyear "ComfortDrive" tires are better riding, better steering, and better cornering. I did not expect so much all- around competence. Very pleased so far, but we'll see how they do this winter.

Size Tire is 255-19-40. Goodyear Comfort Ride. Got this tires in Sept. 2022. I have always had Michelin Tires for 20 years. I wont anymore. I have a "sport" suspension so it is a little stiffer ride, but I put on these Goodyear Comfort Ride tires and I really notice the difference in a nice smoother ride. I like them better for several reasons: 1) The ride is much nicer (not as stiff) and much quieter . 2)The Winter traction is MUCH BETTER and handles great. 3) The treadwear is 60,000 miles whereas the Michelin were 45,000 miles. My Michelin tires didnt even come close to the treadwear warranty. I had to replace them at 32,000....that has been an issue for Michelin over the past years if you read other comments about them and their tire warranty issues. 4) Rain traction is wonderful. Only negative : Handling on dry pavement on sharp turns is not as nice (but I am not a fast driver) and I get overall 2-3 less mpg on these tires. I will put them on my wife's car next.

The Goodyear Assurance Comfortdrive tire is absolutely the best tire for quetness, smooth driving, and stability. IASs a former Nissan and Volkswagen dealer, I have a lot of experience with a variety of tires. From the moment you first drive with this set of tires you notice the low level of tire noise that is produced. I would estimate that it is 50% quieter than the Michelin tires I had. You also notice that the tires run very smooth down the road. There's a feeling of stability, especially at highway speeds. I realixe that in reading these consumer ratings there are some who are critical, however I believe that my objective evaluation here clearly points to these tires being superior in low noise, smooth operation, and stabilty.

These tires give a smooth ride and are super quiet but the gas mileage is awful. I make the same trip regularly, setting my cruise control on the same speed every time. I went from getting over 37 mpg on the trip to 32 mpg on these tires. That's a big difference. I hear that others have the same problem. I regret my purchase!

I replaced my absolutely horrible Firestone tires with these Goodyear tires and I'm much happier with how much better the ride is. The original Firestone tires only had 18k on them, but I couldn't stand the jarrinng ride any longer. Traction is much better too with these Goodyear tires; no more spinouts with rapid acceleration from a dead stop.
