Tripletred Tirerack

I have both types of tires. I just bought the TripleTreds for my Nissan, the old TripleTreds from what I research did not last. The new design TripleTreds are design to last long. To tell you about how they handle, it felt like I had Velcro on my tires. Stay on the road in very heavy rains, it is a little loud for a tire, but I am willing to put up with that for safety. As for the Comfort treds they are the Assurance Fuel MAx that are on my RAV4 which I bought about 6 months ago.
If I write my review people are going to say no way! They are great tires, very quiet, great in snow and rain. I took out my RAV in the snow 11 inches wet ice 2wd and no problem driving. Now for the gas saving. Just got back from an drive to the ocean, round trip 337 miles and my fuel computer said I was getting 33 miles to the gal. Oh ya. Drove the RAV on the sandy beach and did not get stuck as well. So hope this helps. Goodyear's most recent update to the popular Assurance TripleTred design includes an innovative new tread feature - Evolving Traction Grooves -  that helps maintain wet traction, even as the tire wears down. These new grooves are featured in the Assurance TripleTred All-Season and generate more rain, slush and snow traction longer into the tire's life.

As most drivers have experienced, a tire's wet traction tends to diminish as the tread wears down and loses the tread depth needed to pump water out from under the contact patch. It's for this reason that we consider a tire's wet traction capability to be compromised when as little as 4/32" of tread depth is remaining. To see why replacing your tires at this tread depth level may be important to your driving needs, read "Measuring Tire Tread Depth with a Coin." To counteract this issue, the Evolving Traction Grooves begin as 1/10" wide sipes to maximize footprint contact when the tire is new and broaden into wider lateral grooves as the tire wears down. The wider grooves can now channel water out from under the contact patch more quickly - which enhances wet and light snow traction.

When it comes time to purchase your new set of Goodyear Assurance tires, be sure to take a look at our results from "Testing the Goodyear Assurance TripleTred All-Season."
