Customer Reviews
The Weatherready's have always been a good value, especially if you grab them during a sale. I have had them on multiple cars for over a decade. But just to be clear, they are the best at nothing specific, but they are the best in doing everything. So yeah, you want performance, there are better tires, if you want ice traction, there are better tires. However getting those specific tires have a trade off. Be it ride comfort or longevity. But the Goodyear's seem to be the best at combining features. My only gripe, they seem to be more prone to road noise than the previous designs.
Perfect set of tires for my day to day city/highway driving. Most importantly, GREAT CUSTOMER Service, THANK YOU
I live in a rural area that receives heavy snowfall and these tires perform exceptionally well in this environment. I have and will continue to recommend them.
