Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady is asymmetric tires designed for year-round use on passenger cars, minivans, and SUVs. They are characterized by good traction on snowy roads, stable handling and effective braking on dry and wet asphalt, excellent maneuverability, and predictable behavior. 2017 model.
All-season tires Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady (Goodyear Ashurens Weather-Ready) are created especially for those car owners who want not only to forget about changing seasonal "auto shoes" for a long time but also to feel confident in all weather conditions. Last but not least, Assurance WeatherReady was developed in conjunction with buyers of the brand's products, who determined the requirements for the characteristics, appearance of tires, and other aspects.
The asymmetric tread design of the Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready model includes traction grooves called Evolving Traction Grooves. Because as they wear, they expand throughout the entire service life, the stability of the adhesion of the tire to the roadway is maintained. Moreover, these curved grooves accelerate the drainage of water from the contact area.
Self-locking 3D TredLock sipes improve handling when maneuvering and provide reliable traction on ice and snow.
“Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady is exactly what its name suggests and is capable of providing reliable traction, whether the road is flooded with water or covered with ice,” said Ryan Patterson, president of Goodyear's Consumer Tire Division at North America. - Rain, snow, or sunny weather - it doesn't matter. These tires always guarantee safety. "
The asymmetrical tread pattern of the new tires includes Evolving Traction Grooves, which widen as the tires wear, to provide traction stability throughout the tire's life, and 3D TredLock Technology Blades, which improve handling during cornering. In addition, curved grooves quickly divert water to the side, and zigzag sipes provide the necessary grip on snow and ice.
“These tires have been developed with our customers to meet the needs of their customers,” said Mr. Patterson. "Throughout the design process, we communicated with our partners, together with them defining the requirements for performance, the appearance of tires, and other aspects."
“The best all-weather tires are truly capable of guaranteeing optimal grip all year round because they combine the characteristics of regular all-season tires with enhanced winter grip,” said Gene Petersen, tire tester at Consumer Reports. "For this reason, they have the same mountain and snowflake markings as winter tires."
The all-weather performance of the new Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady tires is ensured by a combination of applied technologies. Including, the unique technology of Goodyear Weather Reactive rubber compound for timely response to changes in temperature and humidity. Or, the technology of the Evolving Traction Grooves system, the essence of which is that as the tread wears down, a new layer develops, and new grooves are formed. Predictable cornering grip under changing weather conditions is ensured by 3D TredLock Technology Blades. The deep longitudinal and diagonal grooves of the asymmetric tread effectively evacuate water from the contact patch in rainy weather, reducing the risk of aquaplaning, and the zigzag sipes in the blocks of the central zone guarantee reliable traction on snowy and icy roads.
Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady's new all-season tires are available in a wide range of sizes from 15 "to 20", covering 77 percent of the market in the passenger car, minivan, and SUV segment.
Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady achieves effective performance through a combination of technological and engineering solutions. The new Weather Reactive rubber compound adapts to the ambient temperature conditions. The Evolving Traction Grooves system, as the tread wears, releases new grooves. The patented 3D Tredlock self-locking siping technology provides a secure grip in changing weather. The deep longitudinal and diagonal grooves of the asymmetric tread effectively evacuate water from the contact patch in rainy weather, reducing the risk of aquaplaning, and the zigzag sipes in the blocks of the central zone guarantee reliable traction on snowy and icy roads.
