Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
82/100From 129 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
75/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 129 owner reviews found online.
The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2 receives generally favorable reviews from drivers seeking a capable year-round all-weather tire. Users frequently compare them favorably against competitors like the Michelin CrossClimate 2, praising their confident handling, comfort, and strong performance in rain and snow. However, a notable trade-off reported across multiple reviews is a decrease in fuel economy and vehicle range.
Pros
- Exceptional wet weather grip and performance
- Strong traction and handling in snow and winter conditions
- Smooth and comfortable ride quality over rough pavement
- Precise steering response and high dry-road confidence
Cons
- Noticeable reduction in fuel economy or EV range
- Potential for mild tread hum or road noise as mileage increases
- Higher initial purchase price compared to standard all-season tires
Worth knowing
- EV and hybrid drivers noted a distinct reduction in fuel economy or battery range (ranging from roughly 2 to over 2.5 MPG losses or up to 10% range loss).
- SUV owners (such as the Mazda CX-5 and Cadillac XT4) reported an improved, softer ride quality compared to stiffer Original Equipment tires.
- Drivers transitioning from Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires found the Goodyear alternative to offer comparable or superior wet traction with potentially less noise.
