The Altenzo Comforter is a highly polarizing budget tire that receives either glowing praise for its value and comfort or severe criticism for its wet-weather performance. While many users report excellent noise reduction, ride comfort, and tread longevity, a significant portion of reviewers describe the tire as dangerous in wet conditions, citing sudden loss of traction and poor grip on roundabouts.
What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
58/100From 87 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Exceptional value for money compared to premium brands
- High levels of ride comfort and low road noise
- Impressive tread life and durability for daily driving
- Solid dry-weather grip and straight-line stability
Cons
- Unpredictable and poor wet-weather traction
- Sudden, non-progressive loss of grip in damp or wet conditions
- Soft sidewalls leading to 'floaty' steering feel
- Occasional reports of structural defects like sidewall bulges
Worth knowing
- Users with high-torque, rear-wheel-drive vehicles (e.g., BMW 5-series, Mercedes E-Class) report the most significant issues with wet-weather traction and rear-end instability.
- Drivers of lighter, standard family sedans or hatchbacks tend to report more positive experiences, suggesting the tire is better suited for moderate, non-aggressive driving styles.
- Some users noted that the tire's performance improved after a 2011 compound change, though this remains a point of contention among long-term owners.
