1. Falken Wildpeak H/T - Best All-Season Highway Terrain Tire

For most drivers of light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers, all-season tires offer an excellent solution for everyday driving. All-season tires are designed for exceptional wear properties, handling, and road manners that are predictable and composed, low noise, a ride that’s compliant and accommodating, and year-round traction. The Falken Wildpeak H/T is technically classed as an all-season highway-terrain tire, but don’t be fooled – this is a tough tire for light trucks and SUVs, complete with Heavy Duty LT designation. The Wildpeak H/T 02 is designed for durability, load capacity, and long service, with a reinforced upper sidewall, damage-resistant tread compound, “support bridge” tread blocks that add rigidity and stability, and up to a 70,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty, after considering that all, we figured on a SimpleScore of 9.7 for longevity. The year-round grip is thanks to a silica-rich tread formulation and a tread pattern of circumferential and lateral grooves with Falken’s 3D Canyon Sipes, which calculates a SimpleScore of 8.7 for traction. Steering response, braking performance, road manners, and cornering are all direct and precise, and we give the Wildpeak H/T 02 a SimpleScore of 8.5 for handling.

2. Nexen Roadian HTX2 - Best All-Weather Tire

The all-weather tire category splits the difference between all-season and winter tires, with more aggressive traction, making them more capable in winter weather. Our pick for an all-weather tier in the 265/70R16 tire size is the Roadian HTX2 from Nexen. The Roadian HTX2 gets a very respectable 9.1 SimpleScore for traction, with a system of wide grooves, open shoulders, large, angled tread blocks, and a redesigned sipe pattern (earning it the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service). The Roadian HTX2’s all-weather rubber compound is also designed for excellent wear properties, backed by a 70,000 mile manufacturer’s tread life warranty, and earned a SimpleScore of 9.9 for longevity. This tire's shoulder design and internal construction also mean confident handling and road manners (as well as low rolling resistance), garnering it a SimpleScore of 9.3 for handling.

3. Toyo Open Country H/T II - Best Highway Terrain Tire

We should also mention highway-terrain tires here. We’ve been pretty impressed with all the products from the Toyo line for a while now, and the Open Country H/T II is a case in point. HT tires are designed for much the same traction, wear, handling, and performance as all-season tires but with more emphasis on refined ride quality and low noise than you would expect from Grand Touring tires. Toyo covers the Open Country H/T II from the factory with a 45,000 mile or 70,000 mile warranty (depending on size and speed rating), and our team gives this tire an outstanding 9.6 SimpleScore for longevity. Year-round grip is another real strength, thanks to a system of multi-wave zigzag sipes, expanding shoulder grooves, and circumferential grooves that efficiently channel water away from the tire’s contact patch for excellent grip in wet conditions for a traction SimpleScore of 8.3. We also like that steering response, road feedback, braking, and cornering dynamics are precise and consistent for a SimpleScore of 8.7 for handling. You can also customize the looks of your truck or SUV with this tire - Toyo designed the Open Country H/T II to be reversible, with a plain sidewall on one side and your choice of a sporty outlined white letter design or black-letter sidewall on the other.

4. Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S - Best All-Terrain Tire

Maybe you’ve got a light truck or SUV that’s 4WD equipped and would like to go on the occasional off-pavement adventure in mud, sand, gravel, snow, or rough country. If that’s the case, all-terrain tires are what you need to get the most out of your truck’s performance potential. The Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S could be an excellent option. You can think of the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S as a pair of strong, hardworking hands wearing elegant, stylish leather driving gloves: this tire is versatile enough to cover all the bases on or off the pavement. First, let’s talk a little about the durability of the Discoverer AT3 4S; Cooper stands by this tire with a 65,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty, one of the best you’ll find for any all-terrain tires in this class. When it comes to longevity and wear properties, we give the Discoverer AT3 4S a SimpleScore of 9.2. As far as traction, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S gets a very strong SimpleScore of 9.7, thanks to Aqua-Vac channels with deep center grooves for wet-weather traction, a 5-rib Secure-Grip all-terrain tread pattern, Micro-Gauge zigzag sipes and Cooper’s Snow Groove technology that traps and retains snow to build snow-on-snow friction. Performance in winter conditions shouldn’t be a worry – the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S is certified with the tire industry’s Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service. The Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S gets a SimpleScore of 9.4 for handling, with steering response, cornering, and road manners that are all accurate and direct, thanks to this tire’s durable internal construction that consists of a 2-ply polyester casing with two steel belts and a single ply nylon reinforcement ply, which contributes significantly to highway-speed stability and road manners.

5. Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus - Best Winter Tire

If you live in a part of the country where you must contend with getting through tough winter weather every year, our pick in this tire size would be the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus. This European-design winter tire gives you the peace of mind and margin of safety you need to get through the most challenging winter conditions. The UltraGrip Performance Plus isn’t a sluggish, clumsy winter tire – it’s designed for high-performance cars, with handling properties to match. Goodyear designed the UltraGrip Performance Plus to stay flexible for traction when temperatures are below 3 degrees, with a silica-enhanced rubber formulation that’s softer but durable enough for extended wear. The UltraGrip Performance Plus is molded into a directional tread pattern. Goodyear’s TredLock 3D sipes multiply traction and surface area to chew through snow and deliver confident, consistent grip and control. Our average for SimpleScore for traction with this tire is 9.9 (this tire is also Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service). Cornering and steering response are first-rate, with strong shoulder blocks and sidewalls, for the kind of control that’s more what you’d expect from a performance tire. The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus gets a very strong SimpleScore of 9.9 in the handling department. The Ultra Grip Performance Plus matches Goodyear’s reputation for durability and a SimpleScore of 9.8 for longevity.
