Firestone WeatherGrip Latest Reviews
What is good?
These WeatherGrips have been pretty solid on my Volkswagen Jetta. Living in the PNW these tires handled ice, snow, and pouring rain without any issues. They're the best Ive had for bad weather, especially when the temperatures below 60. But... they do get kinda noisy at highway speeds, and the tread's wearing down faster than I thought—I'm at about 28k miles and they're already at 4/32. Still, they're great for the conditions I deal with. I'd definitely consider buying them again, especially for winter driving.

What is good?
Bought these tires about the year ago. Now I have 10,000 km on them and pleased very much. They do great job in snow and decent on ice. Wet traction is also good.

They tend to flat spot when theyre cold which is a bit annoying. Also they dont stay balanced for long- Ive had to rebalance them a few times already and I only drive mostly on the highway. On the plus side they handle wet roads pretty well and the price was good. Not sure if Id get them again though Maybe better for someone who doesnt drive as much as I do
