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.

Customers Say

Ratings highlight excellence across all key categories for this Grand Touring All-Season tire. Comfort stands out with a smooth, quiet ride praised by most, though a few note slightly firmer feedback. Treadwear earns strong praise for long-lasting performance, with only occasional mentions of quicker-than-expected wear. Winter traction receives consistent 9-10 scores, showing reliable grip in snow and ice. Wet performance shines with top marks for hydroplaning resistance and confident handling in heavy rain. Dry traction maintains the tire's premium reputation, delivering responsive steering and stability at higher speeds. While most scores cluster in the 9-10 range, a small subset of 7-8 ratings suggests minor variability in tread life expectations among users.

...Resistance to hydroplane and tracking in standing water are superior to all other tires I've driven on...

In the Pacific NW driving environment these tires are a standout. I was concerned that the new fairly aggressive V tread pattern would be noisy but the are as quiet as the OEM Continentals that we replaced. Resistance to hydroplane and tracking in standing water are superior to all other tires I've driven on. The winter tire "Mountain" capability means I can engage the 4 Wheel drive and travel with confidence in snow. A fine tire so far and had great rebates that made it a bargain compared to the closest competitor. Great job Goodyear and Tire Rack!

...2 weeks ago after 20 inches of snow in denver, with 6 trips from golden to Denver Airport and 1 trip from Golden to Glenwood Springs and back, tires were awesome in the dry to snowy/slushy conditions - so far, I love them!

Not a lot of miles on the new WeatherReady2 tires, but on our 3rd set of the original version of WeatherReady tires for my wifes outback and they have been EXCELLELT year round tires for her - working extremely well in snowy conditions. bought the weatherReady2 tires as my winter tires for my 2025 pilot and 2 weeks ago after 20 inches of snow in denver, with 6 trips from golden to Denver Airport and 1 trip from Golden to Glenwood Springs and back, tires were awesome in the dry to snowy/slushy conditions - so far, I love them!

...Grip instantly improved and vehicle is no longer fishtailing when you stop or sliding excessively when braking. The difference in the ABS kicking in is dramatically reduced and I feel much safer for my family when driving on these...

Bought these to replace the OEM Kinergy GT's on my wife's 2022 Explorer XLT 4WD We live in North Dakota and the vehicle felt dangerous this year with the icy/snowy roads. Our other vehicle is an Outback with Weathergrips and does just fine on the roads here. Happy so far with with Weatherready 2's. Grip instantly improved and vehicle is no longer fishtailing when you stop or sliding excessively when braking. The difference in the ABS kicking in is dramatically reduced and I feel much safer for my family when driving on these. This winter we were taking our other vehicle with better tires anytime the weather was questionable, but I've borrowed her vehicle to drive to work a couple times in the snow and it's done really well. Haven't had deep snow yet, but on light/moderate snow and icy roads it has done very well. Took a hit of about 3 MPGs on gas mileage so far. However, due to weather it's mostly short trips this time of year. If you need winter weather performance in an all weather tire I think the MGP tradeoff is more than worth it. I considered the CC2's as well, but since these were new and early reviews were great I gambled and bought them with little winter testing. So far I highly recommend them.

...I tend to push my cars in a very spirited manner, and these tires perform beyond expectations. Wet and dry road traction has been excellent and I have not felt any loss of traction in either condition...

Replaced the OEM Yokohama tires on my new Outback after only 3000 miles. They were beyond useless on roads with ANY snow on them.
I saw these new Goodyear Weather Ready 2 tires on the tire site, read up on all reviews online, and decided to purchase a set.
Tires were delivered the next day, and installed by a local shop. The same day, we had about 2 inches of snow, and these tires were
excellent in it. They gripped well, with no issues stopping or starting.
I tend to push my cars in a very spirited manner, and these tires perform beyond expectations. Wet and dry road traction has been excellent and
I have not felt any loss of traction in either condition.
Tires give 100% better feedback of road traction than the OEM tires, and are very quiet on all surfaces so far.
To make things even better, there was a total of a $300 rebate on the tires AND a 60 day satisfaction policy.
I would recommend these tires and Tire Rack as a well rounded tire and a great company to deal with.

Ride comfort is excellent including very low noise. Steering response is predictable and no squirming or drift. Easy to keep in the driving lane at highway speeds. Wet handling and braking have been uneventful. Behaves nicely just like on dry surfaces. I have had little experience with snow/ice as of yet but briefly did recently and was very satisfied with the feel and composure while driving through some.

So far, I would say I am very impressed. I think Goodyear hit a homerun with this tire. I was a little worried about the tread design and road noise, but they are quiet and smooth riding. I am an aggressive driver and while this is not a performance all season, they have handled well on winding twisty roads. I drove to Chicago in a rainstorm and stayed at 70 mph with no issues. We had a mild winter and only drove in light snow but there were no issued. We will see what happens next winter.

Previously I had two sets of Goodyear WeatherReady tires. I was pretty happy with them. They had very good wear resistance and traction in all weather conditions. The only downside was noise at high speeds. Now I decided to give a shot to their next generation WeatherReady 2. I've driven them for 8K miles, so far. Excellent, predictable control and traction in dry, rainy and light snow weather conditions. Very acceptable noise level at highway speeds . Definitely better than OEM tires on my Tesla Model Y. So far I had no chance to drive them in deep snow, but tread pattern seems to be right for deep snow as well. I hope they will not disappoint me.

...The tires still look brand new with the first 1000 miles on them. With the tread life warranty, I doubt I'll notice much of a difference for the next several thousand miles.

I was originally going to purchase the Cross Climate 2’s as I already have those on two of my vehicles, but figured I’d give these Goodyear’s a shot. So far I have not been disappointed! There’s a slight hit to your MPG’s, but the benefit of the all weather rating more than makes up for that. These tires are as sure footed in the snow and on ice as the Cross Climate 2’s on our Highlander, and perhaps even slightly better on ice. The grip that these offer when the roads get icy is as good as it gets (save for dedicated winter tires). I used to recommend the Cross Climate 2’s to everyone who asked, but I may have a different recommendation based on what I’ve seen so far. We haven’t had more than an inch or two of snow yet in Wisconsin, but I know I won’t be worried when the first major storm hits with these tires.

The general ride quality is good as well. It seems to be getting quieter as the miles go on. The tires still look brand new with the first 1000 miles on them. With the tread life warranty, I doubt I’ll notice much of a difference for the next several thousand miles.

I purchased these in October of 24 based on the few reviews I could find of this relatively new tire, I 'm glad I did. This tire was incredible during the winter here in Michigan, compared to the tires (Contis) I had been using on this vehicle, the snow traction was awesome and the dry traction allows my "spirited" (as TireRack calls it) driving with awesome grip in the corners. In the current rainy season, the hydroplaning resistance is great, these things move water like a squeegee. I like these tires so much that I just ordered a second set for the wife's car.
