You'll feel every pebble in the road! The ComforTred tires are a paradox; on the one hand they absorb big bumps well, but on the other hand they transmit every little road imfection. Net result: ride seem busy and nervous with the Comfortreds instead of calm and soothing as it does with Goodyear's own less expensive Integrity tires. The Integrity is a good tire for ride comfort and quietness and high fuel economy, but they must be cross rotated every 4000-5000 miles without fail or they become noisy and suffer low tread life. Another option is the newly released Goodyear Fortrera's. I havn't researched them yet, but I have noticed Honda has installed them on the all new Pilot SUV.
Oh before I forget, a huge disadvantage of the Comfortreds is high rolling resistance. Many owners report losing up to 2 MPG. In today's world that
adds up to hundreds of extra dollars over the course of 30,000 miles. The Integrity, by contrast has low rolling resistance which is why Toyota uses it on the Toyota Prius.
