Great Colorado Tires

Bought these after one of my OEM tires blew out. Comparative to the OEM tires on the car the weather grips are a little higher on the road noise but by no means deafening. Where these tire excel though is the winter and rain, I have driven on these tires to Crested Butte and Breckinridge during ski season and never once did I feel like car was going to slide out from under me. In fact, with these tires in the snow I've had to TRY to induce the car into oversteering. I have also driven through some flash flooding in Manitou Springs and when other cars were noticeably hydroplaning mine was constantly planted. If you are more focused on a quiet ride these tires are not for you. But if you are looking for some higher grip on adverse condition All season tires that aren't as loud and inefficient as All terrain tires these are a really good option to consider. I've surprising gotten 35 mpg with them, and my car is rated for 31 mpg.

Purchased From Belle Tire Who Did Excellent A++ Job!!

I purchased these tires and some are saying you must replace all 4 tires with these tires and yet I had a flat tire that started to leak again and then I got another flat tire on a set of 4 tires which has 1/2 the mileage on them and they are also A++ tires and that is the General Altimax RT-43 H Rated tires. Yet, I put the two good ones on the back and was able to get my rims with the flat tires up to Belle Tire and I wanted just a front set of tires and so I purchased two of these tires and put them on the front and tracking correct. Belle Tire did a excellent job on the mounting and balancing of the tires. They feel the same as the General Altimax RT-43 H Rated and that is the Firestone Weathergrip H Rated. I have driven on them some and they drive excellent in the rain and dry conditions. They balanced very nice and have a very nice ride quality to them. They should also do a very good job in the snow because of the stagger step and also release on the open sides of the tires. Thank you for the tires and these are very good tires and as long as paired for either front or rear they drive fine with some other tires. I intend to put about 40k miles on them and get another set of 4 tires and I might get these if they are still available at that time because they are very good tires. Thank you for the tires.

Weather grip all season

While on a trip, I decided to replace my tires to travel through tropical storm Debby. I decided on the Weathergrip. They performed really well and gave me the peace of mind as we travelled, holding to the road through the downpours. I have been really satisfied with these tires and hope to get projected life of these tires.

Great Tire. Can't go wrong with Firestone

These are really good tires in dry and wet conditions. They are quiet on the road, they handle really well, and they make my car a more comfortable ride. I haven't had a chance to try them in winter conditions yet but I'm sure they will do fine. Overall the WeatherGrip is a great tire and I will definitely purchase them again when the time comes to replace my tires.

One month summer driving

I like these new tires very much. It has been only a month since I purchased these four tires. It's summertime so I have driven on dry roads most of the time and a few times while raining. So far so good! They have a good grip and perform very well when I brake. I have not been able to test them on snowy or icy roads yet but I feel much safer on the road with this Weathergrip tires. Definetely recommend them!

Snow Event

We have gotten over 2 ft. of snow this weekend. When I got caught out in part of it. I was very happy with my new tires. I didn't slide, I didn't spin, they worked like I was hoping they would. Other cars were struggling, but I wasn't. I am also happy with how much quieter they are on dry roads compared to what I had on prior. Now if they last as long as they should, I will be one super pleased customer.

Great Tires, second set

The tires did great in all weather, we get mild winters but I worked on top of a mountain and conditions were pretty bad in winter time. They did great in rain and on dry, lasted just about the entire tread life. lost stars on Value due to the rebate. Not so happy on the rebate offer, so far it had been rejected due to what they said was a "Blurry or Illegible Invoice" the re-submission now just claims to be Not Approved.

Kinda disappointed

Replaced my Firestone All season tires which were great, with weathergrip Firestone tires. Terrible mistake. May return due to noise, vibration slight. And cost more than the all season Firestone which were great. These are great in rain but driving on sunny day Terrible. These are horrible in every way except they are great in the rain. I have 90 days and am trying to get use to These new set but not sure if I will keep or return and get the all season I had before.

Out of balance feeling

I bought these and had to bring them back three times and I still have a shake like an out of balance feeling and fire stone kept telling me there's nothing wrong with them. I have now driven them approximately 15,000 miles and im surprised my teeth are still in my head.
