I've only had the tires a few days. Initial thoughts. I'm grateful that the tire gives an equal or better ride than Michelin Latitude tires on my 2010 Explorer 4wd. Noise is negligible. Handling is precise. I was initially apprehensive, because the Michelin's are a nice, quiet riding tire. The WeatherReady 2's seem to match that, plus they will clearly be better when I travel to the mountains. No complaints. They even look impressive!
