Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive

OVERVIEW

The Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Goodyear offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

This model guarantees excellent all season traction. The symmetric ribbed pattern, with the sipe and notch placement, works with the all season compound in order to upgrade its year-round performance. The tread elements firmly grip the rod surface with the use of extra biting edges, while rubber materials enhance its summer and winter weather drive. The aquachannel circumferential grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, effectively preventing hydroplaning in the process.

The ComfortFlex technology and the ribbed footprint greatly upgrade its controllability. The ribbed pattern's consistent surface contact and the ComfortFlex technology's smoother transition increase steering responsiveness and driving stability. This model increases its steering response time and accuracy, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. This combination, along with the heat-resistant compound enables the tire to ease the pressure off the tire. As a result, the model is able to effectively perform at its best high speed capability.

The tire offers longer-lasting usability. The stable ribbed block placement and the stronger compound optimize the footprint. Even pressure circulation across the tread area effectively avoids irregular wear formations, while stronger rubber materials also decrease treadwear rate as well. Slow and even wear along the footprint significantly increases the tire's service life.

The Assurance ComfortDrive also offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The special innovative tread pattern allows the tire to negate sound waves while the tires are in motion. This helps to prevent sound waves from reaching the vehicle's cabin. On the other hand, the ComfortFlex technology makes sure the tire's sidewalls provide impact absorption. The tire lowers road vibrations felt by the passengers while the tires are in motion.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
