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.

Great tires. Drove from PA to MA in driving rain. Even at 70 mph, no hint of hydroplaning. Never drove on tires this good in the rain. This morning, I drove on twisty, hilly roads. Never chirped once, even when pushing it a bit in corners.

...Wet and dry traction very good, steering response a bit less precise than the Michelin but ride is a bit more comfy.
Coming from Michelin AS 3+, I was hoping this tire would rise to the occasion. So far, very pleased. More miles should tell the tale. Wet and dry traction very good, steering response a bit less precise than the Michelin as expected but ride is a bit more comfy.

...We live in Alaska, where conditions really test a tire's capabilities, and they've proven to be excellent All-Weather tires as advertised...
This is the second set of these tires I've purchased for our vehicles. The first set is 4-1/2 years old and on my wife's BMW. We live in Alaska, where conditions really test a tire's capabilities, and they've proven to be excellent All-Weather tires as advertised. Plenty of tread life left as well. I have recommended these tires to several friends and they are all very pleased with their performance. I would definitely buy them again.

...Wet and dry performance have been stunning.
I haven't put many miles on these tires but my exhaustive research indicates these will last a long time and should be terrific in snow and ice (haven't experienced yet). Wet and dry performance have been stunning. The downside I have seen from others have been experienced - Highway gas mileage has gone down at least 2 mpg. It's fine with me because there is always give and take with tires - these tires are superb in good weather and clearly will be as close as you can get to true winter tires - so I am more than willing to sacrifice 2+ mpg. After all, it's better than dealing with 2 sets of tires every year. It's worth noting these are replacements for the older Assurance triple tread tires that I owed in the past. They were nothing short of amazing.

...They ride much quieter, have better traction on dry roads...
I've only got 2000 miles on these tires, but they are a million times better than the standard garbage that came with the car. They ride much quieter, have better traction on wet and dry roads and my gas mileage has stayed at 27.6 mpg on average.

...On the dry pavement, the tires grip the road almost like a high performance tire or V rated.
Got these tires after having Pirelli P7s plus all seasons tires on my car replaced after 4k miles on them. The Pirelli's were very quiet and smooth but tracked poorly on grooved pavement. These Weather Ready tires are unbelievable sure-footed in winter weather. I drove from SF Ca. to Lake Tahoe NV and ended up hitting rain, snow, and ice in the mountains. I first noticed the tires have more road noise than P7s but the strange thing when I hit the cold weather (5 degrees) and light snow the tires became much quieter and gripper. The ice and snow traction is like I've never felt before traction is so good. On the drive back home after the tires got some miles on them they became a bit smoother and quieter on the freeway. On the dry pavement, the tires grip the road almost like a high performance tire or V rated. I really like these tires and very happy with all aspects of them.

...I immediately noticed the difference in ride quality and comfort (my old tires were Michelin Primacy that I didn't like much)...
These are not only very good looking tires but also exceptional in performance, I immediately noticed the difference in ride quality and comfort(my old tires were Michelin Primacy that I didn't like much) and braking. Its tread pattern is amazing and I could feel it holding steady in rain conditions. I can't review on their icy/snow performance as we haven't had any such conditions yet, will be sure to come back again once we're hit with icy/snow weather. So far, I'm loving these tires and would recommend.

First off - Tire Rack had an INSANE Black Friday rebate deal on these.. Got $300 back using a Goodyear credit card. That rebate pushed me towards these tires. I'm glad I got them.

...The car tracks perfectly straight on the highway, there is zero tire noise, and there is more traction than I will ever use on both wet and dry surfaces. And ride comfort is just fine. These tires are every bit as good as the original Kumhos that came with the car...
I have no complaints at all about this tire. My Elantra is just an economy car, so I can’t judge these tires as to their handling/cornering/traction limits. The car tracks perfectly straight on the highway, there is zero tire noise, and there is more traction than I will ever use on both wet and dry surfaces. And ride comfort is just fine. These tires are every bit as good as the original Kumhos that came with the car. I would 100% buy these Goodyears again.
