Tire Rack has classified the WeatherReady as a Grand Touring all-season.
UTQG rating is 700-A-A
Warranty is 60k
This is surprising, since the compromises needed to make it perform well enough to earn the mountain-and-snowflake symbol would make the fair-weather performance not as good as, say, a CS5 Ultra. I thought for sure they'd put it in the passenger all-season category!
Tire Rack makes no reference to "all weather" or any other trendy new name for all-season tires that are actually good in snow. But if it's like the other all-season tires with the severe service logo, it won't last the 60k they claim (Toyo Celsius, Nokian WRG3, Vredestein Quatrac 5)
Some of the sizes are US-made, but most come from Chile.

Nevertheless, I look forward to seeing TR's testing on them!
