The Assurance WeatherReady2 is a solid choice for drivers who value comfort and quietness in a grand touring all-season tire. Its comfort and noise scores both meet the category average, ensuring a pleasant ride. The 700 treadwear rating and 60,000-mile warranty suggest decent longevity, though slightly below the category average treadlife, they still offer good durability.
In terms of wet grip, the tire performs well with a rating of 7.5, slightly above the category average, supported by an A traction grade. However, its dry grip score of 7.5 is just shy of the category average, which might be a consideration for those who occasionally enjoy more spirited driving. The R speed rating is a limitation for those seeking higher performance, especially when compared to competitors like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+.
When cross-shopping, the General AltiMAX RT45 offers a longer treadwear warranty, potentially providing better long-term value. The BFGoodrich Advantage Control and Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ could be considered for those looking for higher speed ratings. Overall, the Assurance WeatherReady2 is best suited for comfort-focused drivers who prioritize a smooth and quiet ride in various weather conditions.
Drivers seeking higher speed capabilities or longer warranties might want to consider alternatives like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ or General AltiMAX RT45, respectively.
