I am planning to replace the tires on my 2000 Avalon XL. Because of the type of car it is, I am looking for an emphasis on ride comfort and low noise. Of course, handling and tread wear must be acceptable as well. I live in the desert in Southern California, so bad weather handling is not much of an issue.
Based on what I read in Consumers Report, I had decided to buy Goodyear Assurance Triple-treds. However, I have seen some reports that suggest that CR confused the results for the Triple-treds with the results for the Goodyear Comfort-tred, and that it is actually the Comfort-tred tires that have the nice ride and low noise.
Any comments on this? Any other suggestions?
