These tires are the exact opposite of how they are advertised. My SUV went from having the quietest, smoothest ride of any vehicle I've ever owned to riding like a jalopy. Instantly I noticed the sound of the tires in the parking lot. So loud! Then the tires emphasized every little bump, literally bouncing me around in my seat.

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!

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

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.

I bought these tires based on the advertisements, but sadly they do not seem to be absorbing the mild irregularities in the road.

Good tire, only have 300 miles and all fairly local on them, so not sure how accurate my review can be as of yet.
