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.

Excellent traction and dry and wet so far. Great comfort. Only downside is they are very noisy. Likely would not buy again. Would get something a little more quiet

...cut through water like butter. I tested on the freeway during light rain and heavy rain. In heavy rain I could cruise at 85mph and maintain perfect control with little to no hydroplaning..pretty insane. Grip on turns is awesome too...

Great tires! Put these on my 2024 rav4 hybrid xse because the stock tires from factory starting slipping in wet after only 15k miles!

Get these instead of the popular Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires.

These things were night and day difference. I tested them in dry, wet and snow. Here are the results:

Dry: nice steering response, don't feel soft, only hear tire noise from the tread design at speeds lower than 10mph (not a big deal). These are actually more quiet than the stock all season tires that came on my car (Michelin primacy AS)

Wet: Holy moly these cut through water like butter. I tested on the freeway during light rain and heavy rain. In heavy rain I could cruise at 85mph and maintain perfect control with little to no hydroplaning..pretty insane. Grip on turns is awesome too.

Snow: Drove up to the pass and tested in 5-10 inches of snow. Went up and down cabin roads perfectly with no slip. Very confident in snow with these.

MPG: prob took a little hit but who cares, I live in the PNW where its wet and cold most the year so tires that perform well are important to me since I drive kind of fast!

If you live in climate like the Pacific Northwest, these are prob the best tires. If you are in places with nice weather, no need for these.

...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!

...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 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 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.

...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...

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.

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.

...When I came across GY and their ' ComfortFlex Technology,' I was sold on trying them out-and I wasn't disappointed. The ride feels smoother, almost like dropping an inch in wheel size from 20s to 19s...

After owning CCs, I learned to appreciate and expect all-climate performance from my tires. One drawback of the CCs, however, was their stiff sidewalls, which made driving over bumps rougher. When I came across GY and their “ComfortFlex Technology,” I was sold on trying them out—and I wasn’t disappointed. The ride feels smoother, almost like dropping an inch in wheel size from 20s to 19s. Plus, they handled and stopped on icy roads better than I remember with the CCs (though that might be due to switching from AWD to 4WD). Overall, I’m glad I gave these a shot.

I purchased and mounted these tires on 11/27/2024 and have about 200 miles on them so far, mostly positive but defiantly comes with some negatives. The night I got them I took the RAV4 for some spirited driving and overall they were very responsive in the corners and acceleration (I know, it’s a rav4 but the hybrid models can be spicy). The next day we got a winter mix at just above freezing temps which had me a little nervous as I had a hour commute for thanksgiving and these did not disappoint! I was so confident and felt in control the whole time on the highway with slush in the slow lane and unplowed fast lane. At times I would hit some deep stuff but it kept right on going before with my all OEM tires it felt like it hit a wall while pushing the vehicle to one side. Love this tire, only negatives I have yet to discover is road noise is a little louder, not much but is louder. The thing that disappointed me the most is I’m down to 31 mpg, with OEM I was at 35 mpg.
