I had to make an emergency road trip today. My luck I’m 3 hours from home in the rural PA and a chunk of concrete takes out the sidewall on one of my tires. 235/55/18. Went to all 3 tire shops in this village and only one shop had a single new tire that fit. My temp spare wasn’t gonna make it back home or to the destination. So I was forced to get the tire. It’s a Goodyear Assurance Comfortred.
the other 3 tires are OEM Toyos with not much life left on them. Maybe 5/32nds? I’m gonna replace them anyways. But turns out the Comfortred has been discontinued and replaced with Comfortdrive. The tread pattern is very similar, same rib set up with different siping.
would I be able to get away with 3 comfort drives and one comforted? The car is a Rav4 awd.
found the rolling diameter and revolutions per mile. Comfort drive is 0.1” smaller compared to the comfortred. Equates to 3.5/32nds difference. There would also be a difference of 5 revolutions per mile. I assume that’ll add up overtime.
