Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Touring Sizes & review

Loudest tires I have owned in my life. I also have an F150 with BFG KO2 AT tires and they are no where near as loud as these Goodyears. The car had Conti’s on it before that lasted 45k miles. I should have stuck with them. I would never buy these again and will end up taking them off as soon as its convenient and going back to the OEM tire. Wasted my money trying to get a longer life tire and followed reviews on Tire Rack. These will be in the trash soon.

The Goodyear Comfort Tread tire rode very rough and we felt every bump…..we switched over to Michelins and are so far very pleased with these tires.

The car has 55,000 miles, with these tires on it for the last 35,000 of that. It is difficult to come up with an overall rating for the tires. Thy were great in almost every category when new, except maybe a tad noisy on some of our local road surfaces. However, they went steadily downhill in almost every respect after half the tread was gone. The tires are now down to the last 3/32 of tread and a little scary. The tread wore down to this level at roughly double the rate indicated by the tire’s rating. The tires were rotated regularly, kept at correct inflation and are worn very evenly across the tread. Possibly the more rapid wear than advertised was due to the fact about 2/3 of the logged miles were on our relatively fast city boulevards which requires stops from 40-50 mph down to 0 at least once per 3 miles on average, followed by rapid acceleration. (What I find much more impressive is the front disk pads on this van lasted 55,000 miles before replacement last month, and the rear pads are only down about half.) The rapid tire wear may also possibly be due to the fact the van was driven less than 5,000 miles per year, so the tires are now over 7 years old. Could just be they are not good tires for hot desert roads. The other third of the miles were almost entirely driven on interstate routes at or slightly above our typical southwestern speed limits of 75mph, with the van on cruise control doing almost no braking at all. I am hoping our next set of tires will do a better job surviving the torture our roads give them.

I put 69,000 miles on these tires and still have tread left. They are superbly quiet and perform admirable in the rain. (I have never tried them in snow because … Florida.) My only gripe — and it’s a small one — if that I feel bumps now that I’m nearing the end of the tread life. That said, they were quiet for 95 percent of their life. Considering all the available rebates, this is a great tire for the money. In fact, it’s just a great tire.

These tires are awesome for this vehicle (2015 Toyota RAV 4), and in Louisiana, if you get a great review with our kinds of potholes and road conditions, that’s saying something.

I’ve always had good experience with Goodyear Assurance tires. I’ve had those three times (sets of 4 that is) for my old 2005 Honda Odyssey. Now, I’ve replaced the original tires on my 2014 Odyssey with these new Assurance tires and am very happy with the handling and comfortable drive (compared to the original tires that came with the vehicle. Drive is very quiet. And Tire rack is the best place to buy, no regrets. Very happy customer.
