As a former Bridgestone engineer, from my standpoint, Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive offers a smooth and quiet ride. In this case, it’s one of the best all-season tires. It’s unique due to its huge wet and dry grip ability. Due to its low rolling resistance, Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive is fuel efficient tire. Moreover, it can perform in mild winter conditions(light snow). However, its tread life is average. It’s also not usable for severe winter conditions.

Depending on your needs, the below article might help;

Dry Performance

The dry performance consists of 3 different dimensions. Dry traction, steering response, and cornering stability. Premium segment grand-touring tires generally doesn’t have issue with these metrics. Yet, I would like to give you a brief information about the science behind these tires.

Dry Traction

Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive has a utilized compound that is designed to improve traction. The soybean oil is what makes this tire’s compound special.

In fact, Assurance ComfortDrive has a relatively stiff compound. However, Goodyear put some sticky but slippery soybean oil into its rubber and turn it into a slick but durable compound. Furthermore, highly notched rubber provides increases its traction significantly. Thus, I can confidently say that this tire has massive dry ground traction.

Steering Response

This part is crucial for high-speed-rated vehicles. Especially for SUVs and crossovers.

Unlike most grand touring tires, Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive has an asymmetrical tread pattern. That feature decreases its steering response time dramatically. Moreover, it has an interlocked and solid center rib. Goodyear calls it tread-lock technology. These kinds of ribs comprise small but connected lugs. As a result, the tire can provide traction while doesn’t sacrifice from steering response.

Assurance ComfortDrive has a unique steering response. I strongly recommend it.

Cornering Stability

Some tires give you a floating feeling while cornering at high speeds. Well, that is what we call low cornering stability. Its well-known name is handling. If your tire has fluffy sidewalls and weak internal structure, you might feel like loose handling.

In that case, tires have solid bead and fluffy sidewall compounds. The transition between these two must be optimized very well to increase handling. For this reason, Goodyear uses comfort flex technology that provides flexible but stiff sidewalls.

Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive is an alpha plus tire regarding handling.

Wet Performance

The wet performance consists of 2 dimensions. Grip and hydroplaning resistance.

Wet grip is mostly about compound and notches. It’s crucial for starting, stopping, and accelerating. Well, I’ve already talked about how special its compound is. It can grip like no others on wet grounds.

You might feel like your tires stop wheeling at high speeds on rainy days. That’s hydroplaning and it’s a vital deficiency. If your tire has limited water evacuation capability, you might face this issue frequently.

Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive has horizontally connected tread grooves that navigate water to its open shoulders. Goodyear calls it AquaChannel Groove technology. Well, this’s a perfect way to prevent hydroplaning.

Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive is a reliable tire on wet ground. It’s a safe pick.

Comfort and Road Noise

I call them quiet bump-absorbing tires. Fellows, this tire is ridiculous.

Due to its ComfortFlex technology, I can guarantee that you will feel nothing while going through the bumps. Its optimized sidewall has a huge flexing ability. Moreover, these sidewalls don’t crack due to their impeccable compound transition(stiff to soft) on sidewalls. It’s one of the most smooth tire I’ve ever driven.

Road noise is another alpha plus point of it. When the first time I saw its sectional and intensely notched pattern, I thought that this test ride will be noisy. I was wrong. Soybean oil on its compound works very well and makes its traction easy. Furthermore, a symmetrical pattern is a huge advantage. Unlike asymmetrical tires, this tire’s footprint is stable. Its small ribs hit the ground in order and the tire never loses the connection with the ground.

Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive is a deaf and smooth tire. I strongly recommend it if these features are your priorities.

Winter Performance

Goodyear Assurance Comfort Drive doesn’t have 3PMSF. Hence, it has limited winter performance.

Regarding light snow, it comes up huge. Due to its high grip and evacuation capability, it can handle light snow with ease. Well, this feature doesn’t cover 3PMSF. I was expecting this massive performance.

Regarding deep snow, it’s kinda complicated. Due to its optimized rubber and deep tread grooves, it might be performing very well. Yet, its self-cleaning ability is very limited. Therefore, I don’t recommend it for deep snow.

Note: I don’t recommend all-season tires for icy conditions. Hence, I don’t review the all-season tire’s ice performance.

If you need a solid winter tire, I recommend you to check this article out.

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency is where this tire is shinning. Even though it has highly siped rubber, its soft and oiled compound decreases its rolling resistance significantly. Therefore, it doesn’t hurt your MPG.

Tread Life

Tread life is the only section that I can give an average rating to Goodyear Assurance Comfort Drive. I’m not saying it has poor tread life. Yet, you better don’t expect more than 70,000-80,000 miles.

Due to its notched and relatively soft compound, it has average tread life.

Getting maximum wear life from a tire is related to you as well as your tire,

Goodyear Ultra Grip Winter Review

Updated: April 18, 2025 by Emrecan Gurkan Leave a Comment

Ultra Grip Winter is Goodyear’s studdable winter tire. You can use this tire on sedans, minivans, coupes, high-performance vehicles as well as light trucks that are only used passenger-oriented. Let’s dig into it and see what’s its cons and pros!

	Goodyear Wrangler Ultra Grip Winter

As a former Bridgestone engineer, from my standpoint, Goodyear Ultra Grip Winter is a beast in light and deep snow. Moreover, its ice traction is unique. However, Goodyear Ultra Grip Winter offers limited steering response and cornering stability. Yet, its huge wet performance covers this deficiency. Lastly, it offers a smooth but slightly noisy ride.

Dry Performance

Dry performance is consists of 3 different dimensions. Dry traction, steering response, and cornering stability. Due to winter tires intensely siped and soft rubber, they can handle dry traction with ease. For this reason, I will evaluate steering response and cornering stability in this section.

Let’s start with the steering response.

Steering response is mostly about the inter-locked center section. Even so, the most successful winter tire makers like Nokian and Continental use solid rib on the center section. When I first see this tire, I was pretty sure that this tire has a poor steering response. When the bloated void area of the center section combines with the soft compound, it causes a decrease in transmitting time. Thus, If you wanna buy this tire, be aware, it has below average steering response.

Regarding cornering stability, it’s pretty much the same with steering response. According to Goodyear, they use a stiff shoulder compound the increase cornering stability. Yet, weak sidewalls make you feel like floating while cornering. Well, I say below average for high-speed cornering stability.

Wet Performance

Wet performance is where Ultra Grip Winter is shining.

Winter tires have soft compounds due to increasing grip on slippery surfaces. When you merge this feature with the well-placed sipes, massive wet traction is naturally expected.

Due to its 3 circumferential grooves and open shoulder blocks, it can evacuate water easily. Therefore, it has massive hydroplaning resistance for high-speed usage.

Ultra Grip Winter is a trustworthy choice for wet grounds. I strongly recommend it.

Comfort and Road Noise

Soft compound and flexible sidewalls get into the game again and offer a smooth ride for your delicate butt 🙂

However, block type design has a significantly negative impact on road noise. Furthermore, the contact patch of the center section is limited for Ultra Grip Winter Tire. As a result, it’s a bit vocal tire.

Goodyear Ultra Grip Winter won’t give you a bumpy ride but it’s a slightly noisy tire.

Fuel Efficiency

Due to the lug-type tread pattern, it will increase your fuel consumption for sure. Moreover, sipes and soft compound increases their rolling resistance. That feature also has a negative affect on fuel mileage.

Goodyear Ultra Grip Winter vs General Altimax Arctic 12

Goodyear Ultra Grip Winter	General Altimax Arctic 12
Slightly better on wet	Better steering response and cornering stability
Slightly better light snow performance	Smoother ride and less vocal tire
Slightly better deep snow traction	Slightly better tread life
Slightly cheaper	Better ice traction

Winter Performance

This tire is built only but only for winter usage. Therefore, I don’t accept anything but perfect performance. Well, it meets my expectations.

Regarding light snow, it’s similar to wet performance. Water evacuation capability and grip are the game-changers. Well, it has a massive light snow performance.

Regarding deep snow, here is where it steps ahead. Due to lug type design and deep tread grooves, it offers huge traction. Moreover, its angled and serrated shoulder and center blocks can clean themselves very well and provide consistent traction.

Ice performance is convertible. Goodyear Ultra Grip Winter has a stud option that offers tons of traction on icy ground. For this reason, it has alpha plus ice performance with studs. However, its ice performance isn’t perfect but acceptable without studs.

Note: Goodyear Ultra Grip Winter has 3PMSF marking which means it has approved severe winter performance.

Tread Life

Due to its robust shoulder compound and lugged but directional pattern, it wears evenly. Furthermore, its tread depth is higher than its competitors. Hence, it has decent tread life. Even so, it lasts more than average all-season tires.

Getting maximum wear life from a tire is related to you as well as your tire,

Warranty

Goodyear doesn’t offer a treadwear warranty for this product. Yet, if you face uniformity on the first 2/32” part of wearing in the first year, they replace your tire with a new one or refund.

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac vs BFG KO2

Updated: April 18, 2025 by Emrecan Gurkan Leave a Comment

BF Goodrich KO2 and Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac are both all-terrain tires that cater to different needs. While the Goodyear Duratrac is primarily designed for rugged-terrain usage, the BF Goodrich KO2 has a broader application range and can be used in various scenarios. However, the Goodyear Duratrac is favored by many as a daily tire due to its satisfactory on-road performance. It’s worth noting that the BF Goodrich KO2 is mostly available in LT sizes, which are known for their ruggedness. As such, determining which tire is better for you depends on your specific expectations and requirements. Let’s evaluate both options and find the one that suits your usage needs best!

At a Glance

	Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac	BF Goodrich KO2
Better for	Heavy and medium duty operations, snowy regions, Muddy areas	Smooth & quiet highway driving, Rocky terrains
Pros	Insane off-road traction, tough sidewalls, studdable tread, trusthworthy winter performance	Insane wet and snow traction, Moderate off-road traction responsiveness
Cons	Noisy and stiff ride	A bit noisy, Not the best on mud

As a former Bridgestone engineer, in my point of view, with the release of the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT and the discontinuation of most p-metric sizes in the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, the choice has become clearer. The Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac now functions as a commercial all-terrain tire, offering reliable traction, longevity, and comfort at the expense of some noise and handling. Therefore, I recommend the BF Goodrich KO2 for those who primarily use their tires on-road and the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac for those who spend most of their time off-road or on severe working sites.

All-Terrain Tires Cheat Sheet

Finding the ideal all-terrain tire among the plethora of options available can be overwhelming. But don’t worry, my team and I have taken on this challenge head-on. Besides our hands-on experiences with these tires, we also analyze thousands of customer reviews and test reports.

Please note that: Light-Duty is 1500 series, Medium-Duty is 2500 series and Heavy-Duty is 3500 series. If you do towing or hauling, I recommend considering at least Medium-Duty tires.

Durability

In the past, the direction for this tire size was quite different. However, Goodyear has introduced the Wrangler Duratrac RT, which appears to be more on-road oriented compared to the previous Wrangler Duratrac tire.

This shift might explain why Goodyear has transitioned most on-road-oriented sizes to the Wrangler Duratrac RT. Currently, the Wrangler Duratrac is mostly available in the E load range, which naturally enhances its durability.

On the other hand, BF Goodrich KO2 is renowned for its durability. This tire features a 3-ply cord and upper shoulder armor, making it nearly indestructible against sharp rocks. Additionally, the BF Goodrich KO2 has superior cut and chipping resistance.

Overall, both tires are highly durable and reliable. However, the BF Goodrich KO2 tends to have a slightly better wear rate due to its exceptional cut and chipping resistance.

Tread Life

When it comes to tread life, both tires, BF Goodrich KO2 and Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, may not match the longevity of tires like the Toyo Open Country AT3 or General Grabber ATX. However, there are some tips to help you maximize their tread life.

BF Goodrich KO2 as an off-road all-terrain tire follows a stable design philosophy with consistent sidewalls across all sizes. This approach makes it a reliable choice for decent tread life in various sizes, making it a safe bet in my opinion.

Now, let’s discuss the Duratrac. Tread life for this tire is a bit more complex. If you plan to use it on diesel or heavy trucks, it’s advisable to opt for LT sizes. The Duratrac features a softer compound, so it requires a robust internal structure to handle the weight of heavier vehicles. On the other hand, its flotation sizes offer impressive tread life, particularly for vehicles like Jeeps or Rubicons.

In summary, BF Goodrich KO2 tends to have better overall tread life, but Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac still offers highly acceptable longevity.

Getting maximum wear life from a tire is related to you as well as your tire,

Steering Response

Depending on the size and your vehicle, this might change. However, Goodyear Wrangler with wider pattern and deeper tread has a disadvantage out here. However, the strong sidewalls are the game-changer out here.

Since both tires have a strong sidewall, I put BF Goodrich KO2 a bit ahead if this is your priority.

Cornering Stability

Cornering stability is where these two are separated. In this case, solid sidewalls play a crucial role and help the tire to keep its shape while cornering at high speeds. Hereby, you don’t feel like floating.

Even though I like Goodyear tires, 2-ply sidewalls don’t work very well for most vehicles. So, cornering stability isn’t an alpha plus for Duratrac. Particularly for heavy vehicles. On the other hand, BF Goodrich KO2 has one of the strongest sidewalls in the market. No matter how heavy your vehicle is, it provides huge cornering stability.

BF Goodrich KO2 is the winner of this section the whole day long.

Note: Since Goodyear mostly discontinued p-metric sizes, I expect a huge jump up on steering response and cornering stability rating of Wrangler Duratrac

Comfort

Ride quality of all-terrain tires mostly related to uniformity of the tire. So, when the tire is getting bigger and have more sectional pattern, it’s harder to achieve necessary uniformity.

So, if the tire isn’t uniform enough, it transmit the vibrations more acute.

On the other hand, the advantage of all-terrain tires is they’re high profile tires. Hence, they can hold too much air inside which naturally translate to smoother ride.

Overall, in my point of view, BF Goodrich KO2’s design is more compact, hence, it’s offers smoother ride. However, Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac also smooth tire. It’s just have an aggressive pattern that might cause vibration in some cases.

Road Noise

Road noise is mostly about void area distribution. Narrower gaps help to decrease road noise.

BF Goodrich KO2’s tread design promises more in that case. Well-placed small blocks increase acoustic performance significantly. On the other hand, Duratrac has an average noise reduction performance. Its narrowed center section blocks reduce the noise level, though, its tread is deep-seated. Therefore, airflow inside the tread tends to make more noise.

The difference isn’t huge, though, BF Goodrich KO2 has better noise reduction.

Vibration

This part is mostly about how easily you can balance your tire. Well, a cheap tire doesn’t stay cheap as long as you spend a lot of money on balance.

In this case, Duratrac’s deep tread makes it hard to balance. Even though it’s balanced while mounting, it might need another balance in further time. Especially for heavy-duty usage. Therefore, you must pay attention to rotation timing. On the other hand, nothing much to say about BF Goodrich KO2. Legend stays legend for this section.

BF Goodrich KO2 is a better option in that case. That difference is minor.

Wet Performance

Wet is where most all-terrains fail. Well, it causes by deep treads and stiff compounds. Stiff compound decreases gripping ability and deep treads decrease evacuation ability.

In that case, hydroplaning resistance and wet traction are our evaluation points.

Regarding wet grip, the battle is close. However, Wrangler Duratrac steps ahead with better notched and softer rubber. These are the main characteristics of solid wet traction.

On the other hand, I can’t say the same things for hydroplaning resistance. Well, they’re close. However, BF Goodrich KO2 has a better shoulder design for water evacuation.

Both tires are trustworthy, you can go either way. However, I recommend BF Goodrich KO2 if you’re a fast driver.

Winter Performance

The good news, both tires are rated with 3-peak mountain snowflake marking. That means they are able to work in severe winter conditions. Yet, they perform differently due to their technical features.

A side note here: Understanding the snow performance of all-terrain tires can be quite challenging. For those who find it perplexing, I’d like to direct your attention to a helpful resource: “6 Best All-Terrain Tires for Snow by AT Tire Category“ This article is specifically designed to assist you in making informed decisions regarding all-terrain tires in snowy conditions.

Light Snow

Light snow capability shows similarity with wet performance. When heated tires touch the surface, light snow swiftly turns into water. So, gripping and evacuation ability on the wet ground become a priority.

Whether BFG KO2 or Wrangler Duratrac is a trustworthy option in that case. Yet, in my point of view, Wrangler Duratrac is a slightly better tire on light snow.

Deep Snow

Deep snow is where these two are shining. They have different strong points due to their specific designs.

Wrangler Duratrac has deeper tread grooves. That is crucial for deep snow traction. However, BF Goodrich KO2’s staggered shoulder design improves the traction on loose grounds significantly.

Both are reliable options. You can confidently go either way.

Ice Traction

All-terrain tire’s ice traction is always questionable. Most of them have a stiffer compound and insufficient contact patch for better grip.

Well, BF Goodrich KO2 definitely has a better ice performance due to its optimized contact patch(less void area works better in that case). However, Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac has a stud option which makes you kind of icy grounds.

The battle is close, I recommend BF Goodrich KO2 if you’re not going to use studded Wrangler Duratrac.

Off-Road Performance

Indeed, I’ve talked about the features that affect off-road performance in winter and durability sections. Yet, I will explain them shortly again in the below sections.

Gravel and Dirt

Gravel and dirt aren’t an issue for these beasts. Yet, due to the high void area ratio, Wrangler Duratrac has better traction on loose grounds.

Mud

When it comes to mud driving, two critical factors are the self-cleaning capability of the tires and their ability to provide traction on loose ground. In both of these aspects, the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac holds an advantage. Thanks to its wide grooves and deep tread, it excels in mud performance compared to the BF Goodrich KO2. However, it’s important to note that the BF Goodrich KO2 is still a solid choice for light mud conditions.

You can confidently use both of these tires for mud driving, as they are excellent options. However, if you anticipate facing severe mud conditions, the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac is the better choice.

If you’re specifically looking for a reliable mud-terrain tire, I recommend checking out this article for more information.

Sand

Let’s keep it short. BF Goodrich KO2 is your tire if you love to go to the beach. Duratrac’s deep treads dig to loose sand and get you stuck in a minute.

Rock

When it comes to off-road conditions that require airing down your tires, the strength of the sidewalls becomes a crucial factor. In this regard, both the BF Goodrich KO2 and the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac offer strong sidewalls. While the BF Goodrich KO2 holds a slight advantage, the difference between the two is not significant.

However, if your off-road adventures involve rocky terrains, the BF Goodrich KO2’s higher cut and chipping resistance make it the preferred choice.

For this specific tire size, the choice between BF Goodrich KO2 and Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac depends on your priorities and usage. If you primarily drive on-road and want less road noise with on-road stability, the C-rated BF Goodrich KO2 is the better option. On the other hand, if you’re looking for an aggressive appearance and prioritize mud traction, the D-rated Wrangler Duratrac is recommended for all sizes and usage scenarios.

When it comes to E-rated tires in this size, the considerations remain similar. If efficiency and on-road performance are crucial to you, then BF Goodrich KO2 is the tire of choice. However, if you prefer an aggressive appearance and don’t mind some noise, the Wrangler Duratrac in E-rated sizes is a suitable option.

For this specific tire size, it’s worth noting that Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac is available in only the SL size. However, this size is not widely available due to Goodyear’s discontinuation, shifting it to the Goodyear Wrangler RT. This move seems sensible as the SL size is tailored for on-road usage, and the Wrangler Duratrac RT appears to be better optimized for on-road performance.

If you can find the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac in this size, it offers a great option to blend on-road manners with an aggressive appearance. However, for longevity and stability, I prefer the BF Goodrich KO2.
