The Assurance WeatherReady is Goodyear's Grand Touring All-Season tire designed for the drivers of family sedans, coupes, crossovers, SUVs and minivans who want the smooth and quiet ride of a premium touring tire combined with the year-round confidence that comes from driving a vehicle equipped with all-weather tires, having met industry severe snow service requirements and qualifying for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
The special soy-based rubber tread compound of the Assurance WeatherReady is molded into an asymmetric tread design focused on providing the traction needed for any weather condition. Goodyear's Weather Reactive Technology delivers control in inclement weather with 3D TredLock Technology Blades in the center and outboard tread ribs to provide stable cornering in slippery conditions. Evolving Traction Grooves help retain high levels of grip as the tire wears. Added silica in the tread compound aids traction on wet roads, while the Sweeping Tread Grooves move water away from the footprint to the four deep, circumferential channels to resist hydroplaning. The intermediate ribs of the Assurance WeatherReady feature Zigzag Biting Edges to provide the traction needed for confidence in slippery conditions, including on ice and in snow. All Assurance WeatherReady tires meet industry Severe Snow Service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
Internal construction of the Assurance WeatherReady utilizes a single-ply polyester casing. Two wide, steel belts support the tread area, and a polyamide reinforcement aids handling response and high-speed capability.
Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.
El Assurance WeatherReady de Goodyear pertenece a la categoría: Gran Turismo Para Toda Estación y fue diseñado para conductores de sedanes familiares, cupé, utiliautos (crossovers), deportivos utilitarios (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés) y minivans, que desean el andar tranquilo y parejo, ofrecido por neumáticos de turismo de primera calidad, combinado a la confianza que ofrece manejar con neumáticos que poseen la certificación de Nieve Severa (Severe Snow Service).
El compuesto de caucho especial basado en soja del Assurance WeatherReady, es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con diseño asimétrico, enfocado en proporcionar la tracción que se necesita en cualquier tipo de clima. La tecnología "Weather Reactive" de Goodyear proporciona control en climas inclementes y el uso de la tecnología "3D TredLock Technology Blades" en los segmentos centrales y exteriores, proporciona mayor estabilidad al tomar curvas en condiciones resbalosas. Ranuras de tracción que evolucionan "Evolving Traction Grooves" mantienen altos niveles de agarre, mientras que el neumático se va desgastando. El uso de sílice en el compuesto de caucho mejora la tracción sobre superficies mojadas, mientras que ranuras "Sweeping Tread Grooves" sacan el agua del área de contacto con la carretera hacia cuatro canales circunferenciales, para resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Los segmentos intermedios del Assurance WeatherReady poseen bordes adherentes en forma de zigzag "Zigzag Biting Edges", que proporcionan tracción confiable sobre superficies resbalosas, incluyendo hielo y nieve. Todos los Assurance WeatherReady satisfacen los requisitos de la industria, en relación a condiciones de nieve severa y por esta razón, cuentan con el símbolo "tres picos montaña/copo de nieve" (three-peak mountain/snowflake symbol, 3PMSF).
La construcción interna del Assurance WeatherReady utiliza una capa de poliéster, mientras que, dos correas de acero anchas soportan la huella y un refuerzo de poliamida, ayuda a mejorar la respuesta al girar el volante y la capacidad para rodar a velocidades elevadas.
Nota: Mientras los neumáticos no identificados para su uso en invierno, pero con el símbolo tres picos montaña copo de nieve, 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake, 3PMSF) podrían proporcionar mayor tracción longitudinal en nieve, que la ofrecida por neumáticos para toda estación (M+S) sin el símbolo 3PMSF. Sin embargo, ninguno iguala la capacidad de un neumático verdaderamente para invierno, en climas con condiciones adversas.

Testing Grand Touring All-Season Tires 2019: Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady(01:22)
Grand Touring All-Season tires are the capable, dependable tires drivers rely on during everyday life.
The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady is a highly-rated, 3PMSF-branded Grand Touring All-Season tire, so we tested it against the newest in the segment to see how it compares.
Customers praise the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 for outstanding off-road performance, with dry traction (8-10 scores) and deep snow/mud grip (7-10 scores) highlighted as top strengths. Wet traction earns consistent 7-10 ratings, though ice traction shows variability (3-10 scores) typical for aggressive mud-terrain tires. Treadwear impresses with frequent 9-10 scores, exceeding expectations for rugged use. While comfort receives mostly 7-9 ratings, some note increased noise levels (4-8 scores), a common trade-off for off-road capability. Drivers report confidence in extreme conditions, with many emphasizing its durability and traction in rocky or muddy terrain, aligning well with its maximum-traction off-road design.

Great mud tire. Great wet traction and low noise for this type tire. Great dry traction and excellent wear characteristics.

To start with, these tires are not for everyone. They are civilized off road tires. In the NW, roads are wet 75% of the time. These tires have a predictable amount of grip which barely changes from wet to dry. That means the dry grip is not going to match a Michelin Pilot Cup tire. If you hear them howling around a corner, that's a clue. Wet grip is very predictable. I'm not averse to driving sideways, so your results may vary and drive within your limits. The only way to hydroplane these would have to be to drive into a lake, period. The first winter, these were better on my very steep 200+ foot long driveway than my studded snow tires. I very nearly swapped back to these KM3s after feeling the difference on fresh snow but, studs still work better on compacted snow and ice. These tires have held up to my heavy right foot (454BBC), no chunking and the wear has been better than I expected out of such a soft compound. These should be mandatory on any off road capable vehicle. If this sounds like fun, these are your tires. If you were looking for in-depth driving noise, smoothness or tread life comments; try a set of 80k Michelin LTX's. Enjoy.

...It snowed 18 inches with subzero temperatures with added ice. These tires never even spun or slipped at all. I stayed in 2 wheel drive on purpose, just to see what these tires had to offer...
You want tires you can be proud of and all your friends are envious of?? THE KM3S ARE IT!!! These tires look nasty and mean. And they deliver. It snowed 18 inches with subzero temperatures with added ice. These tires never even spun or slipped at all. I stayed in 2 wheel drive on purpose, just to see what these tires had to offer. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE TRACTION AND THE TREAD CLEARED ITSELF OF THE DEEP, FROZEN TUNDRA. I WAS/AM BLOWN AWAY BY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE KM3. Yes, they are expensive. But even pulling my 18 ft.,tandem axel toy hauler loaded with my stuff and my 01 Springer softail, they NEVER MISSED A BEAT. No side to side weakness or sway. Due to the fact they are ruggedly built with super thick sidewalls and an indestructible foot print sole. I wasn't so sure how they'd react or last to the heavy weight of my trailer and the Construction environment I work in. Extremely tough,rugged and durable set of tires. I JUST LAID DOWN THE MONEY FOR MY 2ND SET TODAY AT DISCOUNT TIRE AND NEVER EVEN HESITATED. The manager tried to sell me on the KO2 and some kind of NITTO JUNK. I just couldn't settle for 2nd or 3rd best. Not after having experienced THE BEST,THE KM3. I've never seen anyone ever have a set of KM3s on their truck. Although, everyone always commented and complemented me on mine. Some things in life are worth spending your hard earned money on. YES! Again, the KM3 tire isn't cheap. But theres enough CHEAP TIRES OUT THERE. JUST NOT ON MY TRUCK PULLING MY TRAILER AND MY HARLEY BEHIND THEM. I love the security, safety and YES, the attention the KM3 delivers to me mile after mile. BUY CHEAP, YOU GET CHEAP. BUY THE KM3, YOU QUITE SIMPLY BUY, OWN AND RIDE ON THE BEST OF THE BEST, HANDS DOWN. BUY THESE TIRES. YOU'LL NEVER REGRET IT. AND YOU WILL BUY ANOTHER SET. JUST LIKE I DID TODAY. NO OTHER TIRE WILL EVER GO ON MY TRUCK. EVER.

I really don't write review's, but I like these tires so much maybe this will help someone looking for a great off road tire. I live in snowy snow country over 400 inches in 2018. These tires are a little noisy....there aggressive tread,comes with it...I got these to go off road in the winter and off road in the spring, they do wonderful in deep snow, just as well in the mud....no problem with traction anywhere.A little slick on ice but if you have these you usually have 4WD, not a big deal.I use a little more fuel, again aggressive tread,well worth it.I have found a new tire will DEFINITELY buy these again...perfect for what I do.

Previously has the General Grabber and these KM3 are much more quiet than the Grabbers. Road noise is far less noticeable than the Grabbers. Stiffer side wall and better dry traction and better ride comfort.

...Dry and wet traction are amazing. I honestly feel like I'm on an all-terrain...
My previous set of KM2's were so great, I naturally went with the KM3 as soon as I finally wore the KM2's out. I know this is a mud-terrain, and most likely not the thing people care about the most, but I can't get over the road manners of this tire. My KM2's were very quiet, and these are even quieter for a mud-terrain tire. Dry and wet traction are amazing. I honestly feel like I'm on an all-terrain.
As with every BFGoodrich off-road tire I've owned, these things are unstoppable off the pavement. Mud traction is superb, and they clean themselves out very quickly with a touch of wheel spin. Rock traction, specifically when engaging the sidewall, is the best I've experienced. The giant sidewall lugs feel very tough and grab onto a rock face like fly paper. I had a set of Goodyear MTR's in the past and these tires are simply in another league in all aspects.
I hope the tread wear is as good as my KM2's were. I ended up removing those because they were aging (8 years) and I couldn't wear out the last remaining bit of tread. Haven't had the KM3's long enough to gauge, but I think they'll be great.

...Tire wear has been very comfortable...
Great tires! I mostly drive on the road, more of a mall crawler than anything else. Tire wear has been great, and the ride is very comfortable. Will buy again when it’s time.
...On the road, I find them to be more refined than some of their competitors' tires I've had in the way they handle impacts and deliver a smooth and relatively quiet ride, at least for mud-terrain tires. Only a low growl is audible with just a soft top on public roads ( louder under heavy acceleration), quieter than the howl that many mud terrain or max traction tires can deliver just coasting down the road...
These tires not only look fantastic, but they handle anything I throw at them with ease. Well, except for ice... These are mud terrain tires, so ice traction certainly isn't a focus for them, but they do about as well as any mud tire on sheer ice and no ABS brakes (bad ABS sensor).
In the mild off-roading I've done with these (no Moab trips or anything, just local Indiana type wheeling), they have provided all the traction I needed for every scenario- rocks, mud, dirt trails, sand, hill climbing, you name it! And I didn't even need to reduce the air pressure to increase the size of the footprint- they had all the necessary grip to keep up with/outperform other less-modified Jeeps on the trails, except mine did it at highway air pressure.
On the road, I find them to be more refined than some of their competitors' tires I've had in the way they handle impacts and deliver a smooth and relatively quiet ride, at least for mud-terrain tires. Only a low growl is audible with just a soft top on public roads (louder under heavy acceleration), quieter than the howl that many mud terrain or max traction tires can deliver just coasting down the road.
Sidewall stability is great, offering good turn-in response, or at least as good as a tire with almost a foot of sidewall can offer... It's no race tire, obviously, but it behaves well at the limit on-road, breaking traction with a fairly smooth transition, and early enough to not force any sudden weight shifts that could result in a rollover. Disclaimer- don't try to powerslide or drift a Jeep on dry pavement. Had these for 5000 miles now and haven't lost more than 1/32" tread depth, so I expect these to last a good, long time, even with the abuse I put them through.

...much smoother to handle on road and less noisy...
Compared to Goodyear Kevlar's I had previously fitted on my car KM3's are much smoother to handle on road and less noisy. To my surprise on wet surface the tires performed very well. Also when tested on snow we deflated the tire to 10 PSI and the tire was unstoppable. I am very happy of this purchase and would definitely recommend these tires to all the fun lovers out there.

...Wear is much better than the KM2's... I drive highway and off-road on the weekends... Have had little treadwear in 6500 miles...
I love my KM3's....off road traction and rock crawling is second to none...if you want the best KM3's are your Huckleberry's. Road noise is present but too terrible. Wear is much better than the KM2's... I drive highway and off-road on the weekends... Have had little treadwear in 6500 miles, no chipping and no hydroplaning in water...like I said off-road is stellar...can even take the tires down to 10psi with great rock climbing results..like sticky marshmellows.

...The tread wear is excellent given the type of tire it is...
This jeep is towed behind a large motorhome. It is used when the bus is "on the road." The off road traction and durability is excellent. The tread wear is also excellent given the type of tire it is. This is the third set set of these tires on this jeep. The tires become noisy and a little rough as the get higher miles in them, but generally, they are reasonably quiet and smooth. The off road use is generally in the western US.

Great tires for off-roading, does great in mud, rocks and dirt. Used on our ranch truck and takes a beating. Tread wear if fairly good. Had no issue with it in the dessert and I have no worries about it when off roading. I drove on some rocky areas and didn�t have to worry about sidewall punctures. Down side is tires are heavy, brought fuel mileage down to 13 when I used to get 17 or more. And not very good traction on ice, but I live in Arizona and hardly see snow where I live.I highly recommend this tire for the dessert. Also tread pattern is pretty looking.
