I’m sure Glad I went by my Goodyear dealer to find out about the 2S, I was just about ready to pull the trigger on the higher priced Michelin cross climate 2S . One other tire dealer never even mentioned the 2S to me last week. I think both are great tires for my location in south western Ohio, but with Goodyear coming out second gives them the chance to one up them due to knowing what where there short comings. Also being a retired URW worker I’d rather support my American brothers. I’m even receiving a $60.00 per tire better price! Go Goodyear!
A personal experience: with 1.5" of snow and more falling in Chicago, my Goodyear Assurance helped me to reach the top of the I-90 ramp, while others were sliding back and causing numerous collisions.
As a none brand name or discount price loyalist on the second set of Crossclimate2 I look forward to the ice and snow performance. I will make my decision after those reviews since I chose All-Weather tire to perform at their best during the worst conditions I will be in and not warm and fuzzy conditions. So far the Crossclimate2 has been meeting those conditions even compared to the dedicated winter tire X-i3 after 58,500 miles later on the first set with 5mm full depth tread left. Thanks for the video and look forward to further tests on this tire.
When the original Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady (1) was compared to the Michelin CrossClimate 2, the Goodyear performed better in the snow. At that time it was claimed the asymmetrical tread pattern was better than the V-Shape. Now they want to phase out the asymmetrical pattern and shift to the v-shape (which is what Michelin uses). I would like to see a winter condition comparison of the original Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady #1 vs Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady #2 to better understand which performs better in winter. In the meantime, I'm going with another set of the original Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady #1 instead of moving to the WeatherReady#2.
Didn't realize the rotation pattern was only front to back. Actually have 2 cars running CC2's and just now realized they have the same pattern. Thanks for the education. Shouldn't this result in greater wear to the outer edge of the tire relative to the inner edge?
Good question. Directional tires are designed to wear evenly along the tread during straight-line driving. As long as you're rotating them front-to-back, the tires should wear uniformly across their tread width, assuming no external issues are there. If they are wearing as described, it could be because of an alignment/suspension issue or from driving on underinflated tires. However, it could also happen if you're a driver who tends to take corners aggressively, which could (in part) be compensated for by rotating in the standard "X" pattern on tires with, say, an asymmetrical tread design.
@@AA-ih6kt dude, this pattern has been around since the 1940's. Every manufacturer has their own version of this. This version has a significant difference in the amount of sipes and how these are multi directional when compared to Michelin's
Goodyear didn't specifically mention sand. However, based on our experience driving on all-weather tires, our expectations would be that these tires could manage light sand conditions, but are not specifically engineered for optimal performance in that type of environment.
@@TireReview cape cod boy, here been driving on sand -beaches all my life. (50 year) worse tires are those with deep lugs and low profile. the object over sand is to float over the sand not dig in. reducing air pressure is number one priority. 15 to 18 psi. for normal tires. the wider the tire the better. so the tire will "comply" with the sand. that said, the Micheline CC2 have been the best all around tire i have ever run. even on sand. i am about to pull then pull the trigger on the Goodyear weather ready 2s and suspect i will get the same type of performance. in the end skinny low profile tires do not belong over sand. I hope this helps.
Little wingfoots on the shoulder align with treadwear indicators on the tread pattern, making them easier to find. 😊👍
What about the rolling resistance compared to CC2?

Did Goodyear mention the advantages over Michelin CrossClimate2? Better wet?

Honda pilot has a great AWD system. Wonder how much this helped
How noisy are these on the Expressway??

did you notice they are loud at low speeds? sounds like laundry spinning at 25 and below. wondering if i have a defect. everything else is amazing.
I want to buy these tires for my VW GLI in 225/45R18.
So If we rotate them yourself does that count ?
Looks like some modification and possible improvement from crossclimate 2
Rip off of the cc2 design

Is this an ad or a tire comparison? Really didn't get much from this to help me choose between various tire options.
Nobody beats the CC2 in snow and everyone beats the CC2 in the wet.😂
Just put a set on a customer's car this morning.
Whats your thoughts? Mine come in on Monday and will go on my rav4 hybrid. Rainy here most the year
i find these really loud at low speeds. is this normal? sounds like a laundry spinning...
True weather tires, without snow test😂😂😂😂 B.S advertisement!!!!! Lies after lies. Gaslighting you in the summer brought to you by goody😂😂😂😂
Nonsense company like promo video. Let take 3 all weather tires and show their performance in snow
