Goodyear Assurance TripleTred Tire

Pros: Good initial performance
Cons: Goes through tread way too quickly

Put on a 2001 Chevy Venture, extended cab.  I replaced the original OEM's with these Goodyear TripleTreads.  They handled great, gripped the road and I was very happy with them.  Less that 15,000 miles later, I had to get them replaced because the treads were all but gone.

Using the warranty, I got 4 brand new tires for a total of $80.. figuring that was a steal and maybe I just had a bad early batch.  It's been only 1 1/2 years, and the treads are gone again, and one tiring is leaking.

While the tires impress out of the gate, the tread wear is just too fast on these.

Pros: Good wet weather traction. Stylish appearance.
Cons: HARD RIDE! Pricey (over $100.00 per tire for H rated Sentra tires)

Bought these tires last summer (2004) and have experienced excellent traction, even in downpours. Tires were a bit pricey. Don't believe in the "extended life" of 60K or 80K tires. How many people really make it that distance without destroying the tires by getting a nail in the tire, tire sidewall rotting or out of alignment tires causing the tire to wear down on one side or the other? Extended mileage claims are not a factor for me because of these things.
The MAJOR PROBLEM I have with these tires is that the ride is very rough. I guess in order to make a 80K tire, a harder compound had to be used, resulting in a "hard" ride.
I would not recommend these tires to anyone concerned with road noise, a bumpy ride or having their CD's skip.
Good luck.

Pros: Good traction
Cons: Poor wearing
Directional tread not conducive to regular rotations
Expensive

This tire did not live up to the 80,000 mile warranty on my Toyota Camry.  My mechanic recommended replacement after only ~55,000 miles, andthey would not have passed state inspection requirements. 
These tire wore horribly, requiring me to have them dismounted and remounted in order to do a proper rotation, even with regular alignments.  Not only were the tire expensive, but I was forced to have a mechanic rotate my tires.  I'm switching to a cheaper tire with the same warranty. 

Pros: Quiet and smooth!
Cons: Look kind of avant garde!

Bought triple tred Forteras for our Expedition about three years ago, so now have bought Triple Tred Assurances for one of our Mercedes (an E320) Absolutely love them both. Will put them on the E420 when the Goodyear Touring tires need to be replaced. Way to go Goodyear! (Just put Michelin Weatherwise 80,000 mile tires on my daughter's Miata today since Triple Tred Assurances didn't come in 185 65 R14s at Sears.)

Pros: excellent traction and handling
Cons: nothing yet

i have a 2001 lincoln continental and needed to replace the michilen tires that came with it. i looked at the goodyear assurance tires and michilen hydroedge. decided to go with the goodyear tires. it came with a better price and all the reviews bragged about the tire. i went with the tripletred tire instead of the comfort edge assurance tire. decided the extra traction was worth losing a little comfort. if the comfort edge has a more comfortable ride, i would be suprised. all the reviews came to pass. the tire is excellent on wet pavement, is quiet and handles great. have not had any real snow in oklahoma yet, so cannot tell if it is a good snow tire. the tred is very different and takes a little getting used to looking at it. when all is said and done, i would recommend this tire to anyone.

Pros: Good handling
Cons: Noisier than expected and don't absorb bumps well

The tires have helped the lousy handling of our civic. A big improvement over the Dunlop tires the are OE on this vehicle.
We are in a drought so have not had much chance to drive in wet weather. The one rain we did have was handled well. Fairly expensive , but most of the dealers will price match, so look around. We got a 50 dollar rebate from Tire America and they BEAT (not matched but beat by a wide margin) Sam's Club. The ride seems harsh as I said, and some bumps (like small curbs) seem to go straight through the tire and are not absorbed. Much louder than I expected. I know they are not comfort tred, but I expected a quieter tire. My wife loves them, but as I said it has been all dry driving. She said the car stops better now as well, so that is good.

Pros: Super traction in bad weather.
Cons: Price.  Not cheap but cheaper than a tow.

If you live in any area that sees snow and you don't want to be putting on snow tires every fall, this is the tire for you.  I live in western Washington State and put four of these on my Subaru Legacy.  December broke records for snow fall here and these tires were magnificent.  I was pushing snow up to my front bumper with no problem.  We also have occasional heavy rain and these tires never lose their contact with the road.  I haven't had them long enough yet to verify their longevity but I would not have anything else on my car for this climate.  I only hope that Goodyear is still making them when I finally do need replacements.  

Pros: Excellent tires while they last.
Cons: Awful tread wear. Paid about $500 for these tires and they only lasted 20,000 miles.

I put these on a 2004 Toyota Sienna LE (FWD). The tires are great in cornering, braking, ride, wet and moderately snowy conditions. I rotated them every five or six thousand miles and after about 15 thousand miles I noticed that the front tires were showing excessive wear. I'm now at 20 thousand miles and the front tires need to be replaced. I understand that a minivan is likely to have higher tire loads in the front, but it's hard to believe that anyone is getting anywhere near the 80,000 mile claimed warranty. I tried going back to the tire shop (Mavis) to get some kind of pro-rated warranty and was given the usual run around that I would need to provide documentation that the tires were rotated and it would than be up to Goodyear to make the final decision.

Pros: EXCELLENT! Quiet, smooth and provides an effortless ride.
Cons: NONE!

I recently needed to purchase new tires for my 95' Honda Accord. I was riding on Yokohama's Touring tires. I intended to buy Yokohama's again. The dealer did not have the tires I needed in stock and recommended the Goodyear TripleTreds. I was apprehensive about buying an American made product. I know how Anti-American but I am being honest. After the salesmen explained the new technology to me and told me his experience with Goodyear tires I went ahead and purchased the TripleTreds. OH MY GOSH, I am TRILLED, I LOVE the TripleTreds. My car looks brand new and now rides like a brand new car. The tires are quiet, smooth and provide an effortless ride and more control taking the corners. Not that I would take the corners at an excessive speed! :-) I was very satisfied with the price. The tires were only $17 more than the Yokohama's and a far superior product. Thank you Goodyear for renewing my confidence in American made products.

Pros: tires handle great around corners and the wet traction is good
Cons: Stiff and noisy when you hit the bumps on the road

Goodyear Assurance TripleTred Tire(not the comfort tred version) on a Ford Windstar. Now I know why I got a great price from Goodyear. The tires rattle the mini van when you hit bumps in the road. I think that is what caused my windshield to crack. Get the Comfort Tred verion of the Assurance Tire.

Pros: Can't think of any?
Cons: Overpriced Garbage,  They last about 20K,

Goodyear - Assurance TripleTred Tires — We were planning a long trip and needed a good tire for all types of roads conditions.  At first these tires did what they claim and I would have rated them much higher until we hit one year later.  After about 15,000 kms we started to notice a significant amount of road noise in our Pontiac SV6.  In the past few months we have had several parts replaced under warranty to help diagnose the issue and we continually came back to the tires.
The tires are rated at 120,000 km and I am in the process of getting rid of them at 20,000km. If you want to listen to the radio without the tires drowning it out then you should look for a different tire.  I purchased Goodyear tires partly because of the branding and quality they claim to offer but I was sadly mistaken.
I thought it was just our vehicle but if you search through several tire review websites you will find I am not alone in this issue with the Assurance Triple Treads.  Not sure why it starts around 15K but my only suggestion is DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES.

Pros: Handles well
Cons: Tread life is short

Consumer reports rated this tire highly. They performed well. They just didn't last long. We rotated them regularly but the tread on all four tires wore out after about 40,000 miles. We ran them on our 2004 Toyota Sienna LE

Pros: Performance, mileage, excellent traction
Cons: Can be pricey at some shops. It pays to shop around.

In short: Excellent all season tire with high mileage that gives up little in the performance arena.

My car: 2003 Subaru Forestor XS
Current Mileage on these tires: approx 10,000 miles

My experinence so far with these tires:
I have had these tires on my car for about 1 year. I have used them through all 4 seasons of weather.


Traction:
The tires are excellent in all weather conditions. Ice, snow, pouring rain are no match for these tires. They are a substantial upgrade to the stock Geolanders that came with the car.
The tires inspire confidence going around corners.

Mileage:
The tires are rating for 80,000 miles, and to date still look new.

Sound:
These tires are not very loud. They are quieter than the original stock Geolander tires that came with the car.

Price:
These tires can be pricey so it pays to shop around. Goodyear does run specials from time to time (buy 3 get one free, rebate offers, ect...).

Pros: An excellent balance between ride comfort/feel and performance. The best tire I've ever owned.
Cons: None

I own a 98 Honda Accord EX V6 Sedan. My last set of tires were BF Goodrich traction t/a. I normally pay close attention to what Consumer Reports rates as best, but in the case of the bf goodrich they were wrong. I think I may have had defective tires. Anyway, I will never buy BFG's again, these Goodyear Triple Treds are #1 in Consumer Reports and I can see why. I was considering getting a new car cause I didn't really like the way mine was riding. But now after putting these on there's a brand new feel to the ride. These are the best tires I've ever owned. Period. Way to go goodyear.

Pros: Good handling on wet pavement.
Cons: Overall, the car handled poorly and I didn't feel safe driving it.

These tires didn't perform well on my 2003 Honda Accord LX. As soon as I drove away from the tire center, the car pulled to the right. I returned and had the car aligned. It still pulled. I went back two more times; they checked the alignment again and rotated the tires. It still pulled. It would pull so badly, at highway speeds the car would wobble back and forth as I entered a turn. The dealer took the tires off and put new Michelin's back on. The car drove perfect! Also, during a 800 mile trip, my mileage dipped by 2 or 3 miles per gallon.
