Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive is a tire designed to be installed on passenger cars, minivans, crossovers, and SUVs, meant not only to increase the driving safety on wet pavement, but also to ensure a smooth and comfortable ride. The Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive model was put on the North American market in 2020, and is positioned by the manufacturer as an all-season tire. However, looking at its tread pattern with a minimum of 3D lamellas, one can hardly speak about using it on winter roads. This tire might be able to tackle freshly fallen snow, but no more than that. Therefore, it makes more sense to think of it as a good summer option.

The consumers will be able to get all the comfort and all the benefits offered by Assurance ComfortDrive. The innovative noise cancelling tread pattern helps to muffle the road noise. The ComfortFlex technology ensures a smooth ride and a precise handling response. The optimized drainage grooves maximize the evacuation of water from the contact area, preventing the hydroplaning effect early on, and increasing the vehicle’s stability in the wet.

The special form of the grooves and the TredLock technology in combination with the tread compound containing an inclusion of soybean oil help to maintain the traction of Goodyear Assurance Comfort Drive, at the same time ensuring extended control and the crispness of steering response.

It must be noted that the soybean oil effect is further strengthened by the use of rice husk ash. This environmentally friendly material, which helps to reduce the amount of rice husk waste being landfilled, is now an indispensable part of the tread compound that ensures confident driving in wet and cold conditions without compromising either the environmental performance or treadlife.

The wear detectors make it possible to easily check the remaining tread depth of Goodyear Assurance Comfort Drive.
