Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady
- Thread starter 99Saturn
- Start date
Our family owns two sets of them on Subarus. Daughter has one year's positive experience with them. I just put a set on my Subaru. The 3- peak designation was key as we don't do snow tires but want some reasonable security if there is a large snow here.
Been happy with them on our 2017 Fusion. As others have mentioned- maybe look at the maxlife if you do dedicated winter tires.
I have them on my wife’s AWD Edge. About 26k now and they are the best Goodyears I’ve ever owned. I would recommend them.
Overall my experience with Goodyears has been spotty but these have been great.
They have a new version out but I would be leery of anything untested by real world buyers, true colors show up a couple years down the road.

Had them on a Yaris (Mazda 2) and they were excellent tires. TPMSF stamped for great snow traction and IIRC, they are a 60k rated tire also.
Mine are at 7/32 with 26k on them, I expect 45k easy and I will be happy with that. I am not one to run tires way down.
"Needs a big bump up in wet traction" if the Tire Rack's so-called unbiased testing means anything.
Wow, I paid about 250 each for mine, but they are 18s and there was not a new generation coming out either.
OP is asking about WeatherReadys which are different, 3 peaks all weather tire.
Pretty sure my size is super common so there is that. But given where I have seen some tire prices the price after rebate is what caught my eye. My cobalt calls for 205/55/16 and those are $149/tire before rebate. Cobalt's size has always been comparatively expensive...I'm still stuck in the days (and prices) of running 195/60/15s.
Replying to Odies post in this thread since he posted "considering" these, which I take it as Odie posted a tire on this thread the OP never mentioned but Odie is considering himself. The word consider wasn't used.
Decided not to go with the ASSURANCE All-Season . Test performance at TIRERACK were last in the wet conditions , but did do well in winter tests . Aware it's not all weather rated , but some non all weather do just as well . The RT43s' ( H ) 15s' did perform well in all conditions when on the '13 Fit and '18 Accent sedan . Can't let good things be .

I ran the ASSURANCE MAXLIFE, and the version the MAXLIFE replaced before that.
I ran several sets of these on my commuter MAZDA 3 and they were an awesome tire for many years, wet, dry handling and overall durability were fantastic. However, they keep messing with their lineup and that sorta pushed me away.
I'm glad it did because that allowed me to find the Michelin CC2, which is far superior in wet handling and so far as comfortable on dry roads. We will see how they hold up. I do not love the inability of cross corner rotations with the CC2's, but so far that's my only issue, just have to monitor and control the wear in different ways.

I had a set of the GY Comforttreads on my 96 Grand Marquis with over 140,000 miles on them. Great wear but nothing else was good. Bad in snow, handling, rain, soft sidewalls caused poor handling I was so glad to finally replace then. Went with Armstrong Blutrac so much better. The only weakness with the Armstrong is hydroplaning when puddles form. Other than that best tires I have ever had including Michelins.
I might have to pick up another set from Tirerack with that rebate.
