Goodyear Assurance Maxlife vs Continental CC LX25

I searched the forum and could not find much information on Goodyear Assurance Maxlife, whereas lot of feedback on Continental CC LX25 (which seems to the forum's fav so far) & Michelins.

Any thoughts on Goodyear Assurance Maxlife on a 2016.5 CX-5 GT?

Use-case
- good dry and wet tractions (rain and not snow)
- reduced cabin noise
- tread life
- good handling

Not many car owners interested in Goodyear tires nowadays. The last set of Goodyear tires I bought was back in 1980's!

Judging only by "820 A B" UTQG on Goodyear Assurance MaxLife standard touring all-season tire, it's a shame Goodyear came out an expensive tire with a inferior "B" temperature rating on UTQG. It's made in Chile, a country we haven't heard much of making tires. I personally would choose either Continental CrossContact LX25 or General AltiMAX RT43 that many forum members prefer over Goodyear Assurance MaxLife.

Here are the specs of some popular 225/55R/19 tires for comparison:
