Anyone install Goodyear Assurance Comfortred tires?
I have a 97 accord with 140K and I recently replaced my worn Michelin
X-ones with a set of Goodyear Assurance Comfortreds. The ride originally wasn't up to expectations (especially considering the reviews for this tire), so I had the rubber damping mounts replaced which looked seriously worn and deteriorated on one side. The ride noticably improved for a while, and now potholes, highway expansion joints, deliver a serious jolt to the chassis. (perhaps the rubber mounts lost some of their spongey-ness while wearing in)It could be that I need to replace my springs and/or strutts (Monroe Sensatracs with 50K on them). Varrying tire pressure only made things worse. I am also wondering if it could be the tires themselves. I didn't "notice" such a bad ride with my worn Michelin X-ones. Perhaps someone out there had similar problems with Goodyear Assurance Comfortreds on their Accord or other vehicle. Thanks |

Instead of Comfortreds I bought TripleTreds. I love these tires. They handle so much better than the OEM Bridgestones (Turanza) that came with my Accord. The wet traction is fantastic and I can tell a huge difference when driving through the standing water in the shallow "ruts" in the highways here in the Florida panhandle. Roads here seem to sink into the ground from heavy use. At least I don't worry so much about traction while driving around trying to adjust out my A/C and radio settings while staring at a dark display .... Casey |
