1. Bridgestone Alenza A/S Ultra - Best All-Season tire
We’re going to kick off this list with the Alenza A/S Ultra from Bridgestone, a highly capable all-season tire that’s commendable for its year-round traction on dry, wet, or snowy roads. It’s a versatile, very competent tire that offers the value and long wear you’re looking for, paired with the sort of low highway noise and refined ride quality you might expect from a Grand Touring tire. The Alenza A/S Ultra is one of the newer additions to Bridgestone’s Alenza tire family and is designed around the goals of long, even tread wear and precise handling. Bridgestone starts from the ground up with an advanced silica-based tread compound that delivers good noise suppression, reliable grip in wet or wintry conditions, and long wear properties. For wet-weather performance, the Alenza A/S Ultra’s asymmetric all-season tread pattern features wide circumferential grooves that resist hydroplaning by channeling water away from the tire’s contact patch on wet roads. When the snow starts piling up and winter weather starts to turn nasty, there’s a dense pattern of sipes and Bridgestone’s Snow Vices, grooves that are designed to pick up and retain snow to develop snow-to-snow friction for safe, reliable traction. Bridgestone’s Quiet Track technology package negates certain resonances and frequencies, reducing pattern noise for a whisper-quiet ride. Internal construction details of the Bridgestone Alenza A/S Ultra include a polyester casing topped by two steel belts and a spiral-wound nylon cap layer, for secure highway-speed stability and durable wear. When you add it all up, Bridgestone is confident enough to stand by the Alenza A/S Ultra with an 80,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. After doing the math with SimpleTire’s SimpleScore system, the Alenza A/S Ultra registers an overall average of 9.6, with marks of 9.55 for handling, 9.7 for longevity, and 9.7 for traction. Excellent wear properties, dependable grip year-round, generous treadwear warranty, and handling that’s precise and predictable – that's what the Bridgestone Alenza A/S Ultra can bring to the game.
2. Yokohama Geolandar X-CV - Great All-Season tire
Next up we’ve got the Yokohama Geolandar X-CV, an all-season tire that’s designed specifically for the performance, handling properties, and driving dynamics of today’s SUVs and crossovers. The Geolandar X-CV gets a SimpleScore of 8.6 for traction, with an all-season tread pattern that’s designed with four circumferential grooves, a staggered pattern of 2D and 3D sipes, and a silica-infused tread compound for improved grip on wet roads. The steering response, cornering, and braking properties of the Geolandar X-CV are all pretty admirable too, thanks to its stable internal construction and a shoulder that’s designed to be rigid enough to stand up to the forces and inertia of cornering, which gives this tire a SimpleScore of 9.1 for handling. Yokohama backs the Geolandar X-CV with a 50,000 mile warranty. That’s some pretty great warranty coverage, for a longevity score of 8.4 according to SimpleScore rankings. We should also mention that this is a tire with a whisper-quiet ride, with a five-pitch tread pattern that’s randomized and tuned to cancel frequencies and mute road noise.
3. Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 - Best Winter tire
When it comes to picking a winter tire in the 275/40R22 tire size, we’re going to go with the Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2. The Scorpion Winter 2 is designed with a low-temperature rubber compound that stays flexible for traction in subfreezing weather. That rubber formulation is molded into an aggressive directional winter tread that chews and slices its way through snow and slush with V-shaped grooves, chamfered grooves, circumferential grooves, and dense 3D sipes, pulling in a solid SimpleScore of 9.8 for traction. Those tread features are all designed as a system that enhances braking performance, steering response, cornering, and control, for a SimpleScore of 9.8 for handling. The downside is that durability and tread wear aren’t a real strength with the Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 – as a dedicated winter tire, it’s not intended for warmer weather and its softer, more pliable low-temperature tread compound will wear quickly if temperatures are above 40-45 degrees F. That being said, the tire has good wear properties for winter conditions and boasts a SimpleScore of 8.0 in longevity.
4. Best UHP All-Season tire
When Continental designed the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, they wanted a tire that would present no tradeoffs in performance vs traction, ride quality, and noise levels – a tire that can offer year-round grip with the overall handling, cornering, braking, and steering response you’d expect from a UHP tire. That’s all, of course, along with the kind of tenacious, reliable grip that will get you through all kinds of weather conditions. The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is an even better value when you remember that most UHP and summer use a softer, stickier tread formulation that will stiffen up and lose traction below 40-45 degrees, which is when they have to be swapped for all-season tires. Continental built on the success of the ExtremeContact DWS06 and updated it in just about every area, starting with the Sport+ Tech package that delivers enthusiastic cornering ability and responsiveness. Reinforced 2-ply sidewalls and macroblocks in the tread give a driver handling that’s immediate and confident for an outstanding SimpleScore of 9.9 in that category. For year-round grip, there’s an advanced silica-enriched tread compound for long wear and great wet-weather traction. In rainy or light wintry conditions, circumferential grooves, sweeping lateral grooves, and X-sipes give the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus an edge in the grip for a traction score of 9.8. Continental covers the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty (unlike most UHP tires), for a SimpleScore of 9.2 in the longevity department.
5. Toyo Celsius Sport - Best All-Weather tire
Let’s wrap up this list with a great all-weather tire, the Celsius Sport from Toyo. If you’re not familiar with the all-weather category for tires, these are tires that are designed much the same as all-season tires but with an emphasis on enhanced winter performance, in the kind of conditions where all-season tires often just aren’t capable of getting the job done. The Toyo Celsius Sport is also designed to offer the kind of shorter braking distances, sharp steering response, and confident cornering you might expect from a UHP tire. The Toyo Celsius Sport has the industry’s Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification for severe winter service, thanks to its asymmetric tread pattern that incorporates circumferential grooves to channel water away and resist hydroplaning, multi-wave sipes, and zigzag shaped blocks on the inboard tread elements that lock snow into the tread for snow-on-snow friction. That’s enough for us to chalk up an 8.5 SimpleScore for traction. Handling comes in at a 9.3 SimpleScore, thanks to tie bars that reduce tread squirm and boost rigidity for solid cornering ability, a sticky silica-rich tread compound, single-ply polyester construction, and a reinforced shoulder. Longevity score is 8.00 – this tire features durable, stable construction, and is covered by Toyo with a 60,000 mile tread life warranty.
