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.

Replaced Michelin Primacy that were standard on my Honda Accord. I expected similar levels of handling, comfort, and sound. Both sound levels and comfort seem unchanged from the Michelin, but I was shocked by the more responsive steering with the Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive. At the first left hand turn at a traffic light, I noticed an unexpected difference in responsiveness. Perhaps the better handling may be attributable to stiffer sidewalls and slightly stickier rubber. I purchased the tires with a bias towards quiet and comfort, but feel pleased with the unexpected improvement in responsiveness for a tire that is promoted/named for comfort.

Have had assurance touring model on 3 cars and tires were great. Easily get 80 k Had a screw in my 2015 Lexus ES 350 and had to place one comfort drive on with the other three comfort touring. Supposedly the comfort drive was the exact replacement for the discontinued comfort touring . Have about 78000 miles on the comfort touring and about 55000 on the comfort drive. Here's the kicker , the comfort touring with the 78000 miles has much more tread left than the 55000 mile comfort drive. Tires were religiously rotated regularly. Would love to get the assurance comfort touring but I guess Goodyear realized it was too good and gave us consumers way more miles than they figured on . At least that's my 2 cents

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.

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.

I've had these tires on my car for about four days and they are exactly what they say -- Comfort Drive. They drive smoothly and softly. A pleasure to have on my car. A definite improvement over the previous Yokohama Avids. I have not explored the limits of the tires' performance, and I don't plan to, so I can't speak to wet traction. I'm sure they will be fine in the snow. I'm glad I bought these.

I bought these tires to replace a set of Michelins that did not wear well. I am a stickler for proper tire inflation and rotation but the Michelins did not hold up as they should have so I bought the Assurance ComfortDrives based on a lot of research and reading reviews. I have about 3,000 miles on them and remain unimpressed. The tractions seems pretty good but the ride does not live up to the hype. And, my gas mileage has dropped by about 3mpg since installing these tires. Time will tell how well they wear. I would not recommend these tires.

Purchased these for my 2014 Mazda3. Makes the car handle nicely and great steering feel. However I bought these for comfort. It doesn't deliver. Ride is still very stiff and firm and road noise which 8s my biggest complaint with tires is ever so present. Not very quiet.

I purchase this model of tire thinking being the first came out. Lol so 2 set of tires are really but 2 other tires are just almost bald and I even rotated the tires, balances and alignments. These tires are highway driven. But buyer beware but what is funny. I ask my brother who works at the Goodyear Plant and he said that is why I don't buy Goodyear tires. He buys Hankook tires for his car. Well lesson learned too funny my brother doesn't like Goodyear tires and he works for them. He said that Goodyear tires are trash and I wasted money on a set of 4. No more business from me on Goodyear tires for daily driving. Had these tires for about 1 1/2 years. Not cool

Bought assurance comfort ride because of the name. We wanted a smooth riding tire. However, the ride is awful! You feel every road bump, pebble, cracks, and imperfections. My bald Michelin tires road better. A huge disappointment! They actually make the car louder with the tire noise. I highly recommend a different tire. It can't possibly be worse. I wish I could return them. Also, the side walls were scuffed up even before they were put on the car . They look old and dingy from day one. Had them on for about 1 1/2 to 2 months. So the next section of this review could change. Buyer beware!
