Review

Read a detailed review of each tire if you are still hesitating which option you should choose.

The Assurance ComforTred Touring is Goodyear's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of mid-range and upscale coupes, sedans and minivans. The Assurance ComforTred Touring was designed to combine looks, ride comfort and long wear with all-season traction, even in light snow.

The Assurance ComforTred Touring features a mildly asymmetric tread design that combines independent shoulder blocks with notched intermediate and center ribs to blend dry and wet road traction and handling. Four wide circumferential grooves evacuate water from under the tread to enhance wet traction while the tread grooves, notches and sipes form biting edges that deliver all-season traction in light snow.

The tire's internal construction includes a super shock absorbent Comfort Layer of rubber sandwiched between the tread and steel belts (that provides on average, 20% more cushion than standard auto tires) to insulate vibration and impacts with expansion joints, potholes and bumps. The tires also feature Goodyear's dual-layer ComfortEdge sidewall supports to provide a balance of ride comfort and handling.

The Assurance ComforTred Touring features an internal structure that includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon on top of a polyester cord body to combine strength and durability with a smooth ride.

The Discoverer EnduraMax is Cooper's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire designed for the drivers of crossovers, SUVs and pickup trucks looking for a tire that combines the ride comfort and light handling of a touring tire with the enhanced durability provided by integrating all-terrain tire technology. The Discoverer EnduraMax is developed to deliver confident performance year-round, with light snow traction that meets industry severe snow service requirements and receives the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

Cooper's Durable-Tread Technology helps the Discoverer EnduraMax resist abrasion and wear from rough conditions, and is cut- and chip-resistant for impressive endurance on gravel roads. The symmetric pattern is designed to minimize tread noise for a quiet experience. Four wide, circumferential grooves work with lateral notches to help evacuate water from the contact patch for enhanced hydroplaning resistance, while sipes and edges of the independent tread blocks deliver traction in wet conditions. Winter Grip Technology utilizes sawtooth grooves for grip in snow, while zigzag sipes in the shoulders provide traction on slick surfaces.

The internal construction of the Discoverer EnduraMax is designed to retain its shape over rough and uneven surfaces for even pressure and constant contact with the road. Armor Belt Technology features extra strength, light truck steel belts to provide enhanced strength, and a nylon reinforcement delivers high-speed capability and durability.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol may deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

Tires Scores Compare

Would You Recommend?

Treadwear Performance

N/A
N/A

Treadwear is vital to many things, not just how often the tires need replacement. Hydroplaning and wet weather are both critical factors that wear down your tire quickly. The warranty covers any defects in what you bought but only for a limited period or when there's minimal tread left on them.

Wet Perfomance

8.3
N/A

The wet performance score is a new thing that tire manufacturers are trying to achieve. The hydroplaning resistance, wet traction, and steering response all influence this new grading system.

Hydroplaning Resistance
i

The hydroplaning resistance is measured by the hydroplane depth test and the dynamic aquaplaning test, which measures how much water can be accumulated on the tire's surface before hydroplaning occurs.

8.3
Wet Traction
i

Wet traction estimates the level of grip on wet pavement. Tread design with deep grooves dramatically improves confidence when driving in the rain as they channel the water out much better.

8.3
Steering Response
i

The vehicle's steering response largely depends on the tread depth, tire width, air pressure, and aspect ratio. Wide high-performance tires are equipped with a continuous center rib providing instant steering response.

8.4

Dry Perfomance

8.3
N/A

Tires with good dry performance should be able to perform smoothly and safely, even when cornering aggressively.

Cornering Stability
i

A dynamic cornering test is often used to assess cornering stability under dry conditions.

8.3
Dry Traction
i

Dry traction level depends on many factors, including tread design, profile shape, and compounds.

8.3
Steering Response
i

The vehicle's steering response largely depends on the tread depth, tire width, air pressure, and aspect ratio. Wide high-performance tires are equipped with a continuous center rib providing instant steering response.

8.4

Comfort Perfomance

8.6
N/A

The comfort performance score is designed to measure the balance between ride quality and noise level.

Ride Quality
i

The excellent ride quality means you do not feel the bumps or cracks on the road. Larger tires with thick and deep tread patterns decrease the number of jolts allowing you to glide over bumpy road textures.

8.6
Noise
i

If you would enjoy a quiet chat with the passengers while children are sleeping or listening to music, not the sound of tires, definitely pay attention to the noise score.

8.6

Winter Performance

7.1
N/A

Winter Performance score helps us understand if the tire is the appropriate option for winter conditions that your vehicle will face. Dedicated winter tires provide a firm grip when driving through snow and on ice. Performance winter tires boast a higher speed rating and better handling but deliver modestly lower ice and snow traction.

Light Snow Traction
i

Snow traction is the ability of a tire to push snow out of its path. When driving on packed snow, tires with good snow traction will help you accelerate and maintain control.

7.8
Deep Snow Traction
i

Deep Snow Traction test results compare how the tires deal with the deep snow. To successfully cope with the job, such tires should feature aggressive tread patterns, a tremendous amount of siping, and most elastic compounds.

7
Ice Traction
i

Ice traction tires feature ice grip and build friction when using the brakes or steering wheel to get through icy surfaces safely.

Size

Tire size may be indicated in two formats:
– metric (P255/45R18 103H)
– high flotation (30x9.5 R15 104 F C)
In the metric system, P - stands for the passenger vehicles (LT - for Light Trucks, ST - Special Trailer) with a width of 255 millimeters, aspect ratio (sidewall height) equal to 45% of the tire height. R means it is radially constructed with a diameter of 18 inches. 103 denotes the tire's load index and H determines the speed rating.
In the high flotation system, the first number (30) is the overall diameter of the tire, the second number (9.5) is the width in inches.

The maximum weight that a tire can carry is the greatest amount of weight it's designed to bear. Because load carrying capability is dependent on a tire's size and construction, as well as how much air pressure is actually utilized, maximum loads are measured with the tire inflated to an industry standard inflation pressure.
