Anyone tried Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady tires?

Yep- using them all year with no issues in any season.

Given my horrible winter driving experiences with the 33k mile Premier A/S tires on our v, I'm taking advantage of the latest rebate offer and ordered up a set of the WeatherReady tires for our Prius wagon in time for any early snow this fall.

 

I just got a set of 4 Goodyear WeatheRready installed on my 2017 prius prime. Prior I was rolling on the factory Toyo NanoEnergy A29 tires. With the factory Toyo tires I was able to get 63 MPG in hybrid mode driving only. With the WeatherReady tires I am only able to get 55 MPG. In both cases I have the tire pressure set to 41 PSI on all 4 tires. The Toyo tires had about 50% treadlife left at 23,500 miles when I switched them out. However, I recall being able to get 60+ MPG on the Toyo tires even when they were brand new. I am hoping the MPG using the Weatherready tires improves a bit after it settles in with 1000 miles on them. I think they make the car feel heavy, i.e. I can notice the engine has to try harder to get the wheels to turn. They are noticeably quieter than the Toyo especially at highway speeds. Dry cornering is good but not any different than the Toyos. I have yet to drive them in on wet roads so I can't comment on wet, ice, or snow performance.

 

They're considered an "all-weather" tire, a balance tirebetween an all-season and a snow tire (aka winter tire)? Has it got the snowflake/mountain symbol? I think so, but was having a hard time sussing it out on Tirerack.

Sorry, see I'm rehashing old info, commencing:
