The WeatherGrip is Firestone's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of coupes, family sedans, station wagons and crossovers looking to combine daily comfort, wet grip and satisfying tire life with enhanced light snow traction. WeatherGrip tires were designed as an all-weather tire to meet industry severe snow service requirements qualifying for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol alongside its all-season performance. It is Intended as a one-tire solution for drivers in environments that experience all four seasons, but don't receive sufficient snowfall or icy conditions to require a dedicated winter tire.
The all-season tread compound of the WeatherGrip is molded into a traction-focused, directional pattern. Firestone's Hydro-Grip Technology Package utilizes a rounded footprint that pierces through standing water, plus full-depth grooves and open shoulder slots to help resist hydroplaning. Chamfered shoulder blocks provide additional contact with the road for enhanced braking in all conditions. Snow Traction Claw technology on the center and shoulder ribs plus snow vices on the intermediate ribs help provide confident traction in light snow, while the high-density zigzag sipes and interlocking grooves of the TractionTech Package create more edges for enhanced performance in slippery conditions throughout the tire's life.
Internal construction of the WeatherGrip consists of a single-ply polyester casing supporting two steel belts. A nylon reinforcement aids in handling performance and provides high-speed durability.
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 neumático WeatherGrip de Firestone pertenece a la categoría: Gran Turismo Para Toda Estación y fue desarrollado para conductores de autos cupé, sedanes familiares, camionetas y utiliautos (crossovers), que buscan combinar el confort diario, tracción sobre mojado y un desgaste lento, con mejor tracción sobre superficies con nieve ligera. Los neumáticos WeatherGrip fueron diseñados como un neumático para todo clima para satisfacer los requisitos de la industria, en relación a condiciones de nieve severa, por esta razón, cuentan con el símbolo “tres picos montaña/copo de nieve”, 3PMSF (three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, 3PMSF) y han sido diseñados para ser una opción única en lugares donde se experimentan las cuatro estaciones del año, pero no reciben suficiente nieve o hielo, que justifiquen utilizar neumáticos dedicados solamente para el invierno.
El compuesto de caucho para toda estación del WeatherGrip es moldeado en un patrón direccional enfocado en obtener tracción. La tecnología "Hydro-Grip" utiliza una huella redonda que se abre paso por agua estancada, canales circunferenciales profundos y ranuras abiertas en los hombros, para ayudar a resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Bloques o tacos biselados en el hombro, proporcionan contacto adicional con la carretera para mejorar el frenado en todas las condiciones encontradas. La tecnología "Snow Traction Claw" en el segmento central y los hombros, además de pequeñas ranuras que se encargan de obtener tracción nieve con nieve, en los segmentos intermedios, ayudan a proporcionar tracción confiable en superficies con poca nieve. Gran cantidad de pequeñas ranuras tipo zigzag y otras que se interconectan de la tecnología "TractionTech" crean más bordes adherentes, para obtener un mejor desempeño en condiciones resbalosas durante el ciclo de vida del neumático.
La construcción interna del WeatherGrip posee una estructura con una capa de poliéster que soporta dos correas de acero. Un refuerzo de nailon mejora la maniobrabilidad y proporciona mayor durabilidad.
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.

The Unsung Heroes of the Daily Driver - 2025 Test 2 - With Winter Update(33:42)
For the second test of 2025, we took eleven more touring tires, seven carrying the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, and put them through their paces on our Toyota Camry. Four of these tires are brand-new products just hitting the market. What are you waiting for? Press play to see how these tires compare and where they stack up amongst the tires from our two touring tests in 2024 in the updated 31-tire chart!
Customers think the Firestone WeatherGrip delivers strong all-season performance, with standout comfort highlighted by smooth ride quality and low noise levels. Treadwear receives praise from many for durability, though a few note concerns about uneven wear. Winter traction earns consistent high marks for confident handling in snow and slush, while wet grip and hydroplaning resistance are rated highly for secure driving in rain. Dry traction is reliably strong, with responsive steering and stable cornering. A handful of lower treadwear scores suggest variability in long-term wear experiences, but overall satisfaction leans positive across key categories for grand touring use.

...They are excellent in all weather conditions...
This is the second set of these tires. They are excellent in all weather conditions. The first set was good for 65000 miles, just what they are rated for.

...I've never experienced hydroplaningin wet conditions, even at freeway speeds...
These tires are fantastic for winter driving. They even handle deep snow, rarely breaking traction. I've never experienced hydroplaning in wet conditions, even at freeway speeds. On dry pavement, I can feel some slight feedback resulting from the more aggressive tread design, but it's very minimal and an acceptable compromise considering the winter driving capabilities. The tread design also generates more road noise than less aggressive tires, but my car is an older, small coupe that resonates engine noise anyway, so the road noise doesn't bother me, and it's minimal. Again, the pros of the winter capabilities far over ride the cons mentioned. After 1 year and nearly 10000 miles, the wear is barely noticeable. These tires will be extremely reliable for this year's upcoming winter commuting.

Customers rate the WeatherGrip's winter traction highly, with most snow and deep snow scores 9-10. Ice traction sees mostly 7-10 ratings, though a few note room for improvement. Strong snowy condition performance aligns well with its all-season design.

...I have been very pleased with their performance in the winter. I do drive according to the weather but at no point have I had an issue with these tires. My ABS rarely if ever kicks in coming to a stop...
Bought these tires after moving to Minot North Dakota after local tire dealer suggested all weather tires when I was considering snow tires. After doing research on my own,these tires were rated highest for snow/ice in the all weather category. I have been very pleased with their performance in the winter. I do drive according to the weather but at no point have I had an issue with these tires. My ABS rarely if ever kicks in coming to a stop. Prior to switching from Michelin A/S Premiere tires the ABS was kicking in all the time when coming to a stop. I drive for the weather conditions which is basically slowing way down as the roads are often covered in ice/snow. Highly recommend these tires and would definitely purchase again.

Drove into an unexpected snowstorm with near blizzard conditions. Streets were hard packed with additional snow falling. Traction was great for accelerating from a stop, but what impressed me most was stopping ability with no noticeable sliding when braking. Side to side stability was impressive as well as crosswinds were gusting to 40-45 mph.

I feel like I am holding onto the road much better in normal conditions than I ever have.
I was skeptical of getting expensive tires. I thought with winter coming and a family of 5 it would be worth it. Plus, tirerack was able to get me cheaper 3 year old tires.
Best decision of my life. I've never had nice tires, and these have been great in the snow and rain that we get here in PA, and I feel like I am holding onto the road much better in normal conditions than I ever have.

Overall, these are excellent tires! The ONLY issue I have with them is that on a very smooth (as in new tarmac) there is a noticeable hum. On all other road surfaces, it’s not noticeable. I have purchased these tires for two other of my cars and they were great. I use them year round and get over three years of use out of them which is acceptable to me.

This is my third set. I have tried a different winter tire on my other Jetta ('13) and instantly regretted them. These tires work on a variety of car sizes. Wet snow and ice are the most common conditions, along with heavy rain, where I live. I will say I didn't expect the mileage I get out of these tires. It's the same as my all season tires. I have never put chains on these tires. These tires are the best winter tires I have run, with the conditions that I drive in.
