Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive

I will preface this review as saying this is coming from a 2016 2.0L Mazda 3 5-door hatch which has a notoriously loud cabin (until the 2017+ years where Mazda increased noise dampening materials along with vehicle weight). My main goal with going with these Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive tires was to see if they were less noisy (start to end of tread life). Previous tire was a Continental PureContact LS which lasted 31,000 miles before road noise became unbearable (noisy Mazda 3 cabin @ 4/32" left). The Continental PureContact LS tires were absolutely quieter than these when new and much more sporty, grippy, and responsive than these Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive tires. These Goodyear tires don't have the same wet acceleration traction from a stop either (FWD), which was disappointing; but as a trade-off I hoped these Goodyear would be quieter. Not the case. They aren't annoyingly loud, but there is a different cabin noise than the Conti's which catches my ear...think of it as a deeper (lower Hz) noise. As you can tell, I prefer the previous set of Continentals, which were also a less expensive tire. Also, at 6,751mi driven, these Goodyear tires have already lost 3/32" tread with less sporty driving than the Conti's were driven at. Time will tell, but if the wear rate does not taper off, these will not make it even to the half-way mark of the manufacture's 60000mi warranty. I will definitely be going back to the Continental PureContact LS after these wear out. Dry road grip is very good, but less than the Conti's. There is a nicer on-center steering vagueness and turn inputs are progressive, whereas the Conti's were a bit more sporty (dare say "twitchy" on dead center) and loaded up quicker. These Goodyears are much more cushy over bumps and road imperfections...the Conti's were harsh, especially as they aged. Wet driving grip I would say is a touch less than the Conti's in the corners, but perfectly acceptable and safe for the usual driver. As mentioned prior, the acceleration from a stop is not to the level of the Conti's, which I miss being in the wet PNW (still acceptable and better than the OEM Bridgstone Ecopia 422 Plus tires). Hydroplaning has not been a problem on either these Goodyear or the previous Conti's. Over all, if the price were less they are a very compelling tire and I still would recommend them, especially for cars with a quiet cabin; but wet acceleration grip and tread wear are areas I would fault them on so far.

Excellent tires, keep them rotated around 5-7 k. America’s Tires have the best service, would definitely recommend them to anyone.

These replaced the original Bridgestone tires. So far we're very happy with them. Great price and super smooth ride. Curious to see how they handle the snow.

While we don't put a lot of miles on our Honda Pilot SUV, the miles we have driven on these tires over the past year have been very smooth. I have only purchased another brand of tires (big white puffy looking mascot) and LOVED those over the years but these Comfort Drive by Goodyear were an outstanding price/deal and I did a lot of research for what I was going to want and they came up as a top three option every time. Well despite being 100% loyal to another tire brand for the past 20 years, I can say I would purchase these Comfort Drive tires for my next set on the SUV with no hesitations. These handle really well as we like using our SUV for a long roadtrip each year and then it's basically just used to dart around town to kids soccer games/track meets, and commuting once to the office each week on the highway. They handle wet conditions really well, they ride very smooth and comfortable, the road noise is as good as any other tire I have had in the past (the road noise I hear I would definitely attribute more to the noise dampening of the car itself vs the tires. Since I don't have a vehicle that ranks really high on noise dampening, these tires have performed exceptionally well in that department and better than the ones that came on the vehicle from factory). The stopping distance is great. All in all, I am not a race car driver or one that is pushing my car or tires to the limit. My wife and I are pretty much drive our kids around for their activities, are not aggressive drivers, and these tires have been an outstanding value and purchase for how we operate the vehicle. I wanted 1. a good warranty of about 60k miles from a "Best category" of tire. 2. A ride that blends comfort/responsiveness with a good longevity (the rubber quality/tread is great on these) and 3. A great price for a tire in the "best" category as I only buy in that category. I got all of those things with these Comfort Drives.
