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.

Hankook Kinergy GT Reviews

Feedback consistently shows the Hankook Kinergy GT delivers strong dry traction (scores 8-10) with responsive handling, meeting expectations for a Grand Touring All-Season tire. However, comfort receives mixed feedback, with some noting excessive road noise and harshness. Treadwear scores (often 0-5) raise concerns about longevity, a notable drawback for an all-season tire. Winter traction shows inconsistency, particularly on ice and in deep snow, with scores ranging widely (0-8). Wet traction is generally adequate (scores 5-8), though some report reduced hydroplaning resistance. While dry performance shines, buyers prioritizing comfort or winter capability may find limitations.

...Wet and dry traction have been very good. Never experienced any hydroplaning.

I don't understand all of the poor reviews for this tire. They are OE on my 2023 Trailblazer and I haven't experienced any problems. After 28000 miles they show very little tread wear and I have no doubt they'll last another 28000 miles easy. They ride very smooth, but could be a little quieter. Wet and dry traction have been very good. Never experienced any hydroplaning.

...Dry and wet conditions traction is pretty good...

These tires were the OEM on my 2024 Chevrolet Malibu LT.

Pros- The ride is pretty good, Dry and wet conditions traction is pretty good. Steering response.

Cons- Moderately noisy most of the time, and very noisy on certain surfaces. Terrible performance on ice or hard packed snow. Mpg seems to drop off excessively in colder sub zero temperatures. Tread depth is not as deep brand new. Seem to be wearing quickly. 13k miles and approx 2/32" already worn. (8.5/32" new, so only 6.5/32" available to wear).

Bottom line- I would not install these again unless they were really really cheap.

...Dry traction is adequate and cornering stability is not bad...

Nice comfortable ride and low road noise. But that's where the positives end. Treacherous on wet roads or any precipitation. Dry traction is adequate and cornering stability is not bad. I understand why Tesla would want an internal foam-lined tire to offset the inherent road noise in the cabin of the pre-2024 Model 3. But the trade off in this case was not worth it by any means. I would stay away from this tire if you're purchasing replacements. Even after only 5K on these I will likely replace with something safer.

Wet traction scores show concerning inconsistency, with many ratings between 0-6. Customers report a slippery feel, tendency to hydroplane, and mediocre wet performance for this all-season tire, indicating significant room for improvement.

...Wet traction is horrible and don't even get me started with snow...

These came with my Camry and OMG why Toyota, just why? These are by far the worst tires I have ever driven on. When I got my Camry I thought it was a little rough. Bumps and potholes seemed to be alot more harsh then I ever thought a Camry should be. I even thought it might have been a suspension issue, it wasnt. It was the tires. The people who say they are quiet must be confusing tire noise for engine noise. These are insanely loud. Wet traction is horrible and don't even get me started with snow. If somebody told me these were some cheap no name Chinese knock offs, I would believe them. Shame on Toyota for ever using these as stock on any vehicle. Get the Continental TrueContact Tour 54, you'll thank me for it.

...Now this winter has been a nightmare even with my cautious driving. We haven't even gotten that deep of snow yet and even in just an inch or two, the traction control light comes on frequently and I almost didn't make it up a very slight hill...

These came with the vehicle. The car was my grandmother's in Florida and she barely drove it, gifted it to me when she decided to go down to 1 car. I moved it up to Massachusetts where I didn't notice really any problems with it over the summer and fall, but I am a super cautious driver and always drive slow in the rain as I'm used to older used cars. Now this winter has been a nightmare even with my cautious driving. We haven't even gotten that deep of snow yet and even in just an inch or two, the traction control light comes on frequently and I almost didn't make it up a very slight hill. I'm getting them replaced immediately before we get some bigger snowstorms. The tread is also under 2/32 already. The roads up here are bad, but I haven't even hit 40,000 miles. Tires have been rotated frequently enough, I think it's just what other reviewers are saying, these do not last as they're supposed to. I'm curious to what I'll notice with my new tires (Pirelli Scorpions) in the dry and wet conditions as they're rated so much higher. Other reviewers spoke unfavorably but I'm not too experienced or well-versed in the world of cars, so I probably didn't notice and I'm looking forward to the improvement. Would not recommend these, especially if you drive in any amount of snow.

These Hankook Kinergy tires were the OEM tires for my Accord Hybrid.
