In Feb 2007, I bought Goodyear ComforTred tires. They are advertised as being the softest, quietest tires out there. They were somewhere around $105/tire or so, with 80K mile warranty.
Last month, I had to replace them. They wore out in 2.5 years and after only 35K miles. I have to say that I was less than impressed with the longevity of those tires. However, Goodyear honored their warranty. I showed that I had them rotated as recommended and that I got yearly alignments during the life of the tires and Goodyear put new tires on my car for free. I only had to pay Sears for the mounting and balancing of the new tires (which I would have had to pay regardless of the kind of tires I bought or where I bought them). Sears said they've never had the ComforTred tires returned...that it's usually the directional tires that come back prematurely. We'll see how the new ComforTreds do.
My impressions of the tires...they are nice tires, they have that "forever new - black" look, so they never look ratty. They ride nice and are indeed very quiet. They do well in rain/ice/snow. They come with a narrow whitewall, that I had installed out, which looks really good with the chrome Buick wheels. The tires lasted less than half the time they should have, but with documentation of proper care/maintenance, Goodyear stepped up to the plate and honored their warranty.
Mine are 16" tires, but I believe that they come in 15" sizes, as well.
Hope this helps.
