GoodyearAssurance All-Season Radial Tire - 215/55R17 94H

Great price

Cool

I don't know what it is with these, but they are almost identical with the tires I purchased at the Goodyear and installed the the same dealer. These tires don't track like the GY purchased tires. I have also noticed more road noise.

These tires are superior by leaps and bounds over the almost identical, Walmart exclusive Goodyear "Assurance Authority" tires these replaced. I bought four of these Goodyear "Assurance" tires expecting the same performance since they look the same and are similar in name. These cost slightly more and will supposedly last up to 60,000 miles vs the Authority tires' 70,000. I would suggest paying a little more for these since the Authority tires were like driving on ice in the rain and would even spin and squeal on dry pavement. Cornering at speed would result in marked under steer. Stopping distance was increased. I got used to driving on the ragged edge in the two years I drove on those tires... Yes, I only got about 30,000 out of them before they were to the wear bars. I admit, I'm an aggressive driver, but I don't own a high powered vehicle, it's a 2013 Accord coupe with a 4 cylinder engine. Why? (You may ask) Would I attempt to buy what I thought was a similar tire? The biggest reasons are PRICE and the Goodyear name. The issues I had probably wouldn't be as noticeable to someone who drives more prudently and they were relatively quiet and provided a comfortable ride. I even got a huge bolt in one and had it patched without any other issues. However, even prudent driver's will appreciate the Assurance tires when emergency maneuvers are necessary. Who would have known that dropping the "Authority" from the name of a tire would result in such an improvement.

After 100 miles, tire constantly leaks down.
