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.

Not sure how I feel about these tires. Definitely pros and cons. The pros would be a quiet, comfortable drive that's definitely good for long road trips or highway driving. Also seem very durable only owned for a few months and already curbed a few times plus hit a large rock which didn't even faze the tires. Dry and wet traction is good. The cons is they seem very heavy which I feel affects handling and especially braking both seem to take longer than my OEM tires. Can't comment on tread life or winter traction as I live in Florida.

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.

I had 4 Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive tires installed a month ago. They're definitely smooth and quiet, but my gas mileage took a 10% dive. I took a 400-mile freeway trip on my old tires and saw 37.7mpg in my 2018 CR-V. With these new tires, I could barely manage 34mpg. Same drive, same speed, same weather, same car, same 35psi. I'm stuck with these tires for the next 5 years or so and the money I'll be losing on gas is a huge disappointment.

I put these tires on an Infiniti. They ride so much better and are so quiet, I cannot believe it! I've put about 5000 miles on them, no issues. They handle the rain at speed with out blinking. Responsive around corners and curves. They are so much better than the OEM Michelins they replaced.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
