To my ears, noise levels and quietness the Goodyear Assurance Fuelmax and Yokohama Bluearth AE50 are almost the same. Reasonably quiet and not noisy though I have not compared to quieter tyres. In terms of comfort level ie. soaking up road bumps and irregularities on the roads, both tyres are relatively comfortable but the Yokohama's softer rubber provides a slightly more comfortable ride as it soaks up the bumps slightly better. Not really a night and day difference though I surely feel the rubber to be softer. That is one reason why the Yokohama AE50 feels a bit soft during cornering and doesn't have the sharpness in steering control of the Goodyear Assurance Fuelmax.

I am not familiar with the Yokohama Bluearth ES32. Perhaps this is the new replacement of the Bluearth AE50? At any rate, I believe it is down to priorities in selecting the suitable tyres which are mainly down to 2 things which is performance and best value for money. Despite people's description and comparison on various tyres over here, in reality the differences between these tyres can be minute and not that great. In other words, the tyres will still serve the same purpose, to get the car moving on the road. In terms of noise levels or comfort between similar range or quality of tyres, although there may be differences in reality it will be quiet small and negligible once they are on the vehicle. You will forget about the difference after a while.

If one drives within normal speed limits or even if a little enthusiastic on public roads, I believe even the non-performance tyres such as Goodyear Assurance Triplemax or even the slightly inferior Bluearth AE50 will be good enough, unless one is more into fast and furious driving or want to mimic race drives in an F1 circuit or something, then perhaps the Michelin PS4 or extreme performance tyres will be more suitable. However, the vehicle also plays a part. If one is driving a Proton Saga, Nissan Almera or Toyota Altis (just an example), it makes little sense to have high performance tyres on these vehicles as these are just normal passenger vehicles without much handling characteristics or torque and horsepower to go with the sporty tyres. Even in my Ford Focus which has higher than average road handling, in my mind the stock tyres (Goodyear Assurance Fuelmax) are more than decent enough for some enthusiastic drive. In that sense, I believe the Assurance Triplemax will be good enough for most cars on the road UNLESS it's a more performance-orientated car such as Mini Polo or Volkswagen Golf GTI etc. especially drivers who like to tackle cornering like a race champ, then that's a different story.

Thanks for the details. Really appreciate that.

Yokohama bluearth Es32 is set to replace Ae01. On paper (EU lable) it looks like es32 has a great improvement over Ae01 . the Tyre was released this year so it not easy to get a solid review just yet.

Seems like many good review on Goodyear assurance triplemax. Maybe should check with the Tyre shop on the price upon next Tyre replacement.

triple max are good tire , very well balance all rounder

Just change my tires to Assurance Triplemax. Still too early to judge but compare to my previous F1D5, Triplemax seems to be quieter but perhaps slightly less grip.

Was offered Goodyear Optilife new model 195/55/15 for rm205 each. Is this replacement model for triplemax?

No. TripleMax is still valid. Optilife is a different one. Essentially this will be less grip than ATM, however this is harder, so it last longer and best for those that want high milage & travel alot.
If you check Lazada. You can get it for rm190/pc. So up to you, if its convenient no harm paying more for your trusted shop.

Alright thanks for the reply. Ordered triplemax on lazada at rm178 each with rm50 discount. Hope to replace my stock tyre soon.

That is a very good deal. Do leave a feedback after 10k km. Or even the shop service review would be good for sharing.

Anyone experience with Goodyear Optilife  ?

if i want the tyre that is extremely silent on road, which brand is the best to choose for??
i use the second hand's car tyre until now and it generate big noise sound ald..
intend to change it as soon as possible.

Hi, I'm in similar situation. Looking to change off my F1D5 because it's too noisy, after 15k km. Review for the triplemax please?
