Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady

I have about 51,000 miles on the WeatherReady's on my Rav4 and they'll probably go another 10,000 or so. I've been happy with them here during MN winters. They're pretty quiet- about the same as the Altimax RT43's that I had on before and handle about the same but the snow grip is great. I'll probably replace them this November.
 
Hi Johnny
I have 30,000 miles on my tires.They are down to a consistent 6/32.I believe they start at 10.I rotate every 5,000 at my oil change at the dealership. I've had one alignment as I bumped a curb and was going on a 400 mile trip and didn't want problems.I run at 40# .I did digital temperature Guage on discs,hubs and tires.Im kind of fussy.My normal driving is small town,lots of starts,stops and turns.I live in Wi.Im thinking ,after a trip to New Jersey this fall,and Winter approaching,I will buy new,they will not be down to the bars but that's O.K.Ive had such good luck,I'm just going to get the same ones.If winter wasn't coming I'd be curious what they'd run.I also believe whatever tire a guy gets,you have to take care of them!I avoid pot holes,curbs,r.r.tracks,road debris, keep the air up,balanced and alignment.
I was a semi driver,now retired,but things I learned, I still do,L.O.L I'M to old mess with tires.So Goodyear and motor on!!,Good luck!
 
Has anyone had any complaints about the weight of this tire?
I've been looking at new tires for my vehicle. Arguably the 2 best all season tires in their class is the Michelin CC2 or the new Goodyear WeatherReady 2.

I have a 2024 Lincoln Corsair and the OEM Michelin Primacy tires a shot at 30,000mi which seems normal from what I read.

I have 225/55/19 tires as OEM. I want to upsize to a 245/50/19 tire on OEM wheel with a width of 7.5". That rim width is the measured rim width for that 245/50/19 tire. So it's ideal.

My concern is weight. From what I find from Tirerack specs the OEM tire weighs 28lbs.
Going to the Michelin CC2 in 245/50/19 adds 2 lbs. 30llbs spec.
The WeatherReady 2 in 245/50/19 shows a spec of 35 lbs. That's a whopping 7 lbs over OEM tire.
That 35lb tire weight is heavy compared to competition in the same size. The Michelin CC2 is 5 lbs lighter.

I'm changing tire size. Not adding to overall diameter but I'm adding considerable rotating mass.
