Key dimensions, speed index, and tread details for the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady across daily driving conditions.
Features & benefits
- 3D Treadlock blades: This technology is applied to the large shoulder blocks of the Assurance WeatherReady tire. The blades lock together while cornering to give you an extra bit of grip in slick driving conditions.
- Evolving traction grooves: The asymmetric design of this tire includes a center rib section where the 3D Treadlock blades combine with Evolving traction grooves. This helps the tire retain its wet traction performance throughout its tread life. The middle section blades evolve into traction grooves as the tire wears off, and the grooves get wider and wider over time. So, they help remove the water and slush away which drastically affects wet handling.
- Premium soy-oil enhanced compound: This unique tread compound helps the Assurance WeatherReady tire remain flexible and grippy in the cold weather, yet firm enough for great dry traction. So, regardless of the weather conditions, you get the best possible grip and increased driving safety.

Test reports — summarized by us for you
Conclusion: The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 is a standout performer, offering a plush and controlled ride on the road paired with almost sporty steering response. While there is some noticeable tread noise, its on-track performance is excellent. In both wet and dry conditions, it feels incredibly solid, planted, and confident, with strong grip and deliberate, consistent handling that easily manages emergency maneuvers. This reliability extends to winter, where it provides authoritative and secure performance in snow and on ice, making it a top-tier contender. | Note: Ranked 1st out of 11
2024 TireRack All Season and Weather Tyre Test · 215/55 R17 94VConclusion: Testing highlighted excellent in the dry, best wet braking and wet handling, and good comfort levels. Drawbacks included weaker hydroplaning performance, not the best on snow or ice (but way better than an all season or summer tire), and highest rolling resistance of the test. | Note: Ranked 2nd out of 7
The 7 BEST All Weather Tyres Tested · 225/65 R17 102HConclusion: Testing highlighted comfortable, confident and composed in wet, dry, and and winter conditions. Drawbacks included just small tweaks, a little more grip, and without sacrificing its excellent balance. | Note: Ranked 3rd out of 7
Tire Rack Touring All-Season Tire Test (November 2025) · 215/55R17Conclusion: Placed 3rd in Tyre Reviews's michelin crossclimate 2 vs continental lx25 vs goodyear weatherready. | Note: Ranked 3rd out of 3
Michelin CrossClimate 2 vs Continental LX25 vs Goodyear WeatherReady · 235/55 R18Conclusion: As the successor to the tire that invented the all-season category in 1977, the $221 Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady delivered solid dry performance and above-average wet results, but struggled significantly in snow. Keeping the Goodyear-equipped vehicle pointed straight on snow was described as "nothing short of exhausting," requiring constant countersteering to avoid unrecoverable slides. It finished last in snow braking (arguably the most important winter metric for crash avoidance), though it did manage the second-quickest time around the snowcross loop. The tire is due to be replaced by the WeatherReady 2, which wasn't available for testing but may address these winter performance deficits. | Note: Ranked 4th out of 5
