Goodyear has expanded its lineup with the new Assurance WeatherReady 2 tires.
Per Modern Time Dealer, Goodyear unveiled the new set of tires during a ride-and-drive event in Akron, Ohio. The launch was made on Aug. 20, but the company gave customers the chance to preorder the tires before its release date.
Assurance WeatherReady 2 is reportedly capable of enduring all weather conditions with a 60,000-mile tread life warranty.

The tires are also equipped with Goodyear's AquaTred Technology, which has an upgraded tread pattern made to expel unwanted water and slush.
One of the tire's treads includes evolving traction grooves, as well as TredLock tech that interlocks the sipes and maintains good tire grip. It also features the company's Wear Gauge for tread depth monitoring.
Anne Johnson, director of Category Strategy and Planning for Good Year, noted that the tires redefine the expectations drivers have from all-weather tires through its technology.
