Tire brands we test
The brands behind the tires we review — their heritage, strengths, and the specific models we've put through testing.
Michelin
The benchmark for all-weather grip and longevity
Michelin sets the standard the rest of the industry is measured against. The French manufacturer's all-season and touring tires consistently lead for wet grip, tread life, and real-world safety — and they hold their value longer than competitors.
Bridgestone
Winter specialists and broad-coverage daily drivers
Bridgestone is the world's largest tire maker and the name behind the Blizzak winter-tire category it essentially invented. Its touring and winter lines are dependable, widely available, and quietly excellent in cold and wet conditions.
Continental
German-engineered comfort and wet-weather precision
Continental brings German engineering discipline to grip, braking distance, and ride refinement. Its touring and performance tires are favorites for drivers who value steering feel and wet safety alongside long life.
BFGoodrich
Off-road toughness that still commutes
BFGoodrich is the off-road enthusiast's brand, famous for the All-Terrain T/A KO2 and Mud-Terrain KM3. Its tires are built to take abuse on the trail while remaining livable on the highway.
Pirelli
Performance heritage and SUV winter expertise
Pirelli blends motorsport heritage with premium-road-tire engineering. Its Scorpion line is a go-to for SUV and crossover winter grip, and its performance tires favor sharp response and confident dry handling.
Hankook
Value without compromise, and EV leadership
Hankook has closed the gap to the premium European brands while keeping pricing approachable. Its iON line is purpose-built for electric vehicles, pairing low rolling resistance with acoustic foam for a quiet EV cabin.
Goodyear
American all-rounders with strong wet performance
Goodyear is the largest US tire maker and covers nearly every segment, from the Assurance touring family to Wrangler light-truck tires and Eagle performance rubber. Its WeatherReady line is one of the better severe-snow-rated all-seasons on the market.
Toyo Tires
Enthusiast off-road and performance rubber
Toyo built its reputation on the Open Country family — all-terrain and mud-terrain tires that look aggressive and back it up on the trail — plus the Proxes performance line favored by track-day and tuner drivers.
Yokohama
Efficiency-focused daily tires and track-day icons
Yokohama pairs low-rolling-resistance touring tires like the AVID Ascend with cult performance lines such as the ADVAN family. Its Geolandar truck tires are widely used as OE on Japanese SUVs and pickups.
Nokian Tyres
The winter authority from the Arctic Circle
Nokian invented the winter tire and still tests above the Arctic Circle. Its Hakkapeliitta studded and non-studded lines are the reference point for severe-winter traction, and the Outpost range brings that thinking to trucks.
Firestone
Dependable value from a Bridgestone-owned brand
Firestone delivers most of Bridgestone's engineering at a lower price point. The WeatherGrip and Destination lines are common recommendations for drivers who want severe-snow capability or truck durability without premium pricing.
Cooper Tires
Truck and SUV specialists with strong warranties
Cooper (now part of Goodyear) is best known for the Discoverer truck range and the Endeavor touring family. Its tires typically undercut premium brands while carrying competitive treadwear warranties.
Falken
Motorsport-derived grip at accessible prices
Falken brings drift and endurance-racing development into street tires. The Azenis line is a favorite among enthusiasts on a budget, and the Wildpeak A/T family punches far above its price for off-road use.
Kumho
Budget-conscious tires with real engineering behind them
Kumho supplies OE fitments to several automakers and sells replacement tires well below premium pricing. The Crugen and Solus lines are common choices for drivers replacing worn OE rubber on a budget.
Nitto Tire
Style-forward tires for trucks and tuners
Nitto designs tires that look as distinctive as they perform — the Ridge Grappler and Trail Grappler are staples of the lifted-truck world, while the NT555 line covers muscle cars and tuner builds.
General Tire
Continental engineering at a mid-tier price
Owned by Continental, General Tire delivers a lot of the same technology in the Grabber and AltiMAX lines for less money. The Grabber ATX is a widely recommended all-terrain for daily-driven trucks.
Dunlop
OE performance rubber with a racing lineage
Dunlop appears as original equipment on a wide range of sports cars and touring models. The SP Sport and Signature families cover warm-weather grip and year-round comfort respectively.
Sailun
Value-tier tires that have gotten genuinely good
Sailun has moved from budget filler to a credible value choice, especially for trailers and light trucks. The Terramax line offers all-terrain capability at a fraction of premium pricing.
