All-season tires are the biggest-selling segment of tires in the industry because they make perfect sense for most drivers who are looking for long wear, a refined ride, low noise, year-round traction and capable handling and braking performance. The Wrangler Steadfast HT from Goodyear is a highway all-season tire that delivers year-round grip with Grand Touring-style standards of ride comfort, road manners, stability and treadwear.

Durability is a top priority with the Wrangler Steadfast HT, with DuPont Kevlar in the tread, a reinforced sidewall and built-in WearGauge indicators embedded in the tread face itself to alert a driver to uneven or excessive wear. Goodyear covers the Wrangler Steadfast HT with a 70,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty. With that kind of long, even wear and resistance to damage from potholes and other hazards, we give the Wrangler Steadfast HT with a SimpleScore of 9.9 for longevity. A SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction is pretty admirable too, thanks to a pattern of sipes for winter grip, lateral/angled grooves and extra-wide circumferential grooves that work as a system to mitigate hydroplaning and get through wet weather with ease and confidence. Cornering, braking response and steering input are all crisp and precise, thanks to that proven tread design and a solid center rib – the Steadfast HT comes in with a SimpleScore of 9.5 for handling. Overall SimpleScore for the Goodyear Wrangler Steadfast HT is a very strong 9.7.

Maybe you’re driving a sporty crossover or SUV and would like a tire that delivers the kind of performance you’d expect with a summer or ultra-high-performance tire, but don’t want the headache of having to switch to all-season tires when the weather gets below 40-45 degrees F. When Continental set out to design the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, that’s what they were shooting for – a tire that can deliver the kind of capable, reliable grip that can get you through all kinds of weather conditions year-round, but with UHP levels of traction, cornering, braking, steering response, and overall handling. They built on the proven success of the ExtremeContact DWS06 in just about every respect, starting with Sport+ Tech for full-tilt performance and cornering ability with reinforced 2-ply sidewalls and macro blocks in the tread. That’s enough for a near-perfect SimpleScore of 9.9 for handling. Year-round grip is enhanced with a silica-enriched tread compound that offers long life and great wet-weather traction. A system of sweeping lateral grooves, circumferential grooves and X-sipes give you the confident grip you need in rainy or light wintry conditions. Taking that into account, we register a SimpleScore of 9.8 for traction. Unlike many tires in the UHP category, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is covered by a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, for a SimpleScore of 9.2 in the longevity department. Overall SimpleScore for the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is a very respectable 9.4.

If you’ve ever had to deal with the deep snow, slush and ice that come with with hard winter weather, you’ve probably already learned to your chagrin that many all-season tires are just not designed for those conditions and can’t be counted on to reliably get you through anything more than a light dusting of snow on the roads. All-weather tires have a lot in common with their all-season tire counterparts, but with more of an emphasis on performance in winter conditions. Our pick for an all-weather tire in the 235/60R18 size is the Bridgestone Weatherpeak. Bridgestone engineers designed the Weatherpeak’s tread with a dense pattern of sipes, the hair-thin slits that provide hundreds of extra biting edges that multiply traction and surface area to give drivers the extra advantage in winter grip that they need. On most tires it’s just intuitive that its tread features will deliver less traction as tread depth wears down, but the Weatherpeak’s innovative 3D sipes continue to boost your winter traction even as the miles add up and tread depth gets thinner. Along with sipes and grooves, the Weatherpeak incorporates “snow vices” that trap and retain snow in their grooves to generate snow-to-snow friction. It probably isn’t a surprise that the Bridgestone Weatherpeak has the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification for severe winter service; on the test track and in the real world, tests have shown a real advantage in braking, with winter braking distances that are as much as 30 feet shorter than the competition’s tires. With that all in mind, we gave the Bridgestone Weatherpeak a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. Steering response and cornering are also admirable; the Weatherpeak’s SimpleScore of 9.5 for handling comes from its rubber formulation and tread features. Road manners, steering response, and cornering ability are also top-notch with this tire, even as the weather turns bad. Overall SimpleScore for the Bridgestone Weatherpeak: 9.6.

If your SUV or crossover is equipped with AWD or 4WD, you might consider a set of all-terrain tires to get the best traction and performance with that drivetrain. For some time now we've been pretty impressed with everything from the Falken line, including the Wildpeak AT Trail, a premium feature-packed all-terrain tire. You can count on the Wildpeak AT Trail for the durability and traction you need for off-road adventures, without having to compromise on the road manners, handling, ride quality, and low noise you expect around town and on the open road. Falken designed the Wildpeak AT Trail around the driving dynamics of today’s light trucks and SUVs. It’s designed for durability, long wear and dependable grip with a 2-ply polyester casing, steel belt package, polyamide cap ply for stability, and a silica-rich tread compound that delivers great wet or dry-weather traction. Wet and dry grip gets a boost from an aggressive, symmetric all-terrain tread design with a deep 10/32” tread, an open shoulder design, and circumferential grooves to resist hydroplaning. Falken designed the Wildpeak AT Trail with traction as a priority too, with interlocking 3D Canyon Sipes (earning it the tire industry’s Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service). For durability and lateral traction, the Wildpeak A/T Trail has a reinforced sidewall with lugs that extend from the shoulder onto the sidewall itself, making it one tough, durable tire for off-road use. You can also enhance your vehicle’s aesthetic style with a choice of two sidewall designs – one with traditional serrated lettering and the other with a raised, three-dimensional lettering type. Falken stands behind the Wildpeak A/T Trail with a five-year/ 65,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. According to our SimpleScore ratings, the Wildpeak A/T Trail gets an overall score of 9.0, with marks of 9.0 for handling, 8.9 for longevity, and 9.2 for traction.

For tough winter conditions, there’s no substitute for a purpose-built winter tire. Nokian (yes, the same parent company as Nokia phones) is a Finland-based tire manufacturer with decades of experience developing tires that can handle the tough Scandinavian winters. The Nordman 9 SUV is a tire that’s designed for the absolute dead-worst conditions that winter weather can throw your way. The Nordman 9 incorporates a rubber compound that’s engineered to stay flexible and deliver great traction in sub-freezing conditions. The Nordman 9’s dependable winter grip comes from a network of deep grooves and strategically placed sipes, multiplying your tire’s surface area and biting edges to dig into snow and slush. In case you have to get around on roads slicker than a hockey rink, the Nordman 9 SUV is pre-drilled for easy installation of studs that would be strategically placed to bolster traction and keep nose low. NOTE: studded tires are not legal in all states and are limited to certain months of the year in states where they are legal – check your state laws to be sure.

With an average SimpleScore of 9.2, the Nordman 9 Studded excels in longevity (9.1) and traction (9.7) while also offering handling (8.7).

Regardless of what kind of minivan, light truck, SUV or crossover you drive, SimpleTire has a set of premium tires in the 235/60R18 size for you!
