The Assurance WeatherReady2 is Goodyear's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of compact cars, passenger sedans, and crossover SUVs looking for 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.

Assurance WeatherReady2 callouts

Assurance WeatherReady2 tires feature a soybean oil derived compound molded into a directional tread pattern designed to maintain traction in all weather conditions. In addition, taking advantage of small, regular variations in tread block size, the Assurance WeatherReady 2 uses multi-pitch sequencing to dissipate road sounds and comfort inserts in the sidewall to smooth out uneven road surfaces for a comfortable ride. Goodyear's AquaTred technology comes alive in heavy rain, with V-shaped grooves expelling water and slush, enhancing both wet weather handling and wintertime snow traction. The soybean oil compound ensures the tire remains grippy and flexible when the temperature drops.

The Assurance WeatherReady2's internals make use of two layers of polyester plies surrounded by twin steel belts for the right blend of strength, rigidity and straight-line tracking. A polyamide cap completes the package, providing additional stability at highway speeds.

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.

...Wet traction is phenomenal compared to the OEM tires they replaced... They are a bit noisier than the OEM tires and I am down about 1-2 mpg on the highway, but I'll take that given the superior handling in wet conditions.

So far these tires have been fantastic. Wet traction is phenomenal compared to the OEM tires they replaced. I haven't had a chance to use them in any amount of snow or ice yet. They are a bit noisier than the OEM tires and I am down about 1-2 mpg on the highway, but I'll take that given the superior handling in wet conditions.

I don't have any road noise, they drive great in dry, wet, snow and ice conditions...

I bought these because they were cheap but still had some good ratings. They were a newish brand at the time. I figured I could get my money's worth even if they weren't great tires. These tires are some of the best I've had. I don't have any road noise, they drive great in dry, wet, snow and ice conditions. I truly have no complaints about these tires at all. I wanted to wait a year to see how they did before I wrote a review. I had to add a little air when winter came, but I haven't had to do any other additional maintenance. Super happy with these tires.

...During our first big storm of the season, I watched as other vehicles were stuck, spinning their wheels, and sliding around in parking lots. Meanwhile, my van cruised through with ease. I even navigated the Tim Hortons drive-thru without a single issue, while others were left struggling in the snow...

When I started looking for tires for my commercial van, I originally wanted the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails. However, my van required heavy-duty commercial-rated tires, so I opted for the Falken Aklimate instead. Let me tell you—this was the best decision I could have made!

Living in Buffalo, New York, means dealing with harsh winters and relentless lake-effect snow. For those who aren’t familiar, lake-effect snow can dump several feet of heavy, wet snow in a single storm. It creates some of the most challenging driving conditions imaginable. Luckily, the Falken Aklimate tires are up to the task.

These tires come with the coveted Severe Snow Service (3PMSF) rating, and they absolutely live up to it. During our first big storm of the season, I watched as other vehicles were stuck, spinning their wheels, and sliding around in parking lots. Meanwhile, my van cruised through with ease. I even navigated the Tim Hortons drive-thru without a single issue, while others were left struggling in the snow. The traction these tires provide is nothing short of amazing—it’s like they’re made specifically for lake-effect snow!

What makes the Falken Aklimate tires even better is their versatility. While they dominate in snow, they also perform well on dry roads. Whether I’m cruising on the highway or maneuvering around Buffalo’s city streets, these tires provide a smooth, quiet ride.

As a commercial driver, I need tires that are not only reliable but also capable of handling the added weight of my van. The Falken Aklimate tires are built tough, offering durability and peace of mind during long drives in harsh conditions.

Considering their outstanding performance and reasonable price, these tires are an exceptional value. They rival, and even surpass, more expensive options.

If you’re on the fence, trust me—get the Falken Aklimate. They’re perfect for anyone facing tough winters, especially here in Buffalo. Thanks to Falken for making such a great product!

Absolutely great in the snow. I'm in the Poconos, Northeastern Pennsylvania . We've just got snow & ice several days in a row. I can climb hills, mountainous roads just like in my 4x4 lexus gx470. There were dozens of cars crashed, and abandoned on my way to work. I just kept moving along.
When the roads are clear I'm getting normal mpgs. Highly recommend. Don't forget if the snows very bad, you can lower your tire pressure 10 to 20% to make it home, then fill back up with air. I haven't had to do this with these tires, just a tip.

Purchased the tires for winter traction on long commutes. The Honda responds well to them, they provide excellent control and confidence on poor road conditions.

Tires are a bit noisey, that was a known downside but well worth the trade off for the traction they provide.

...Overall in the wet and in the dry I got very good traction for the money spent...

There was no info on these tires when I purchased them, since it was a newer tire. Took a chance and it paid off so to speak. Overall in the wet and dry I got very good traction for the money spent.
Did pretty well in the snow maybe 4 inches at the most. Staying on top of tire rotations is important especially with these tires and tread pattern.

...These tires grip so much more than I expected, and really turned her CRV into a completely different ride...

Bought these for my wife's vehicle, and while she doesn't drive as hard or as much compared to me, she will absolutely fly around corners at times. These tires grip so much more than I expected, and really turned her CRV into a completely different ride.

The only downside I've found is that there's a very slight amount more of road noise than the previous ones, and that's confirmed from putting the old wheels with Michelin pilot sport a/s tires back on temporarily. It's not very noticeable unless you're paying specific attention to just that fact, and definitely acceptable considering how much better the traction is.

We live somewhere I swear people just love pulling out in front of you without looking. During the few panic stops with ABS kicking in, I can confidently say these tires are a 10/10 would buy again lifesaver.

...Road grip during breaking, on dry pavement, was excellent...

Drove approximately 2000 miles so far, mostly highway. Tires preform very well, meets my expectations. Wet pavement (limited chances to test) performance is good, occasional slipping when accelerating from a stop but better than previous Continental tires. May not be noticeable to less "spirited" drivers. No unease or need to reduce speed for highway curves. Highway road noise was minimal (barely noticed). Road grip during breaking, on dry pavement, was excellent. Overall great tires so far.

Very nice so far. Significant improvement in road noise over old Continentals. They feel a tiny bit more vague, but they are better mannered going over bumps. No real extreme handling situations encountered so far, but I have confidence they would do well. If they made these for our CR-V, I would put them on there in a heartbeat

These tires performed remarkably the few times it snowed or iced in NE Oklahoma. They sound like truck tires a tiny bit on the highway, but I kindof like it. Excellent treadwear. I rotated my tires recently and I can minimally tell the difference between the front and back tires. Will definitely buy another set for my next tire purchase.
