Buick Cascada Tires

Here at SimpleTire, our team has gone through the catalog and picked out some of the best Buick Cascada tires, including all-season/all-weather, UHP all-season, and winter tire choices. We ranked them in Best/Great/Good order and assigned numerical scores for traction, longevity, and handling, using our SimpleScore system that looks at data and reviews to determine a numerical value. Ready? Let’s get started:

1. Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive: Best All-Weather tire

Let’s kick off this list with a Pirelli all-weather tire, the Cinturato WeatherActive. All-weather tires are a category that might be a little new to many drivers; while all-weather tires are designed similarly to their all-season cousins, they’re also built with an eye toward improved performance in winter traction without any real compromises in terms of tread life, road manners, handling, braking, ride quality, and cornering dynamics. For decades, Pirelli has built a reputation among drivers for their innovation, value, and quality, and the Scorpion WeatherActive is a tire that’s a proud part of that reputation. The Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive is a newer addition to the popular Cinturato family of tires; it’s stamped with the tire industry’s Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service. On the highway, the Cinturato WeatherActive delivers accurate and crisp cornering and braking with a 3-rib directional tread pattern, stiffer sidewall, and shoulder that enhances rigidity and reduces tread squirm during hard cornering. The Pirelli WeatherActive mitigates hydroplaning with a zigzag central groove and angled grooves, channeling water and slush away from the tire’s contact patch. You can expect a quiet ride with the WeatherActive too, with a tread pitch that’s randomized and computer-tuned to cancel certain resonances and frequencies for low noise on the highway. In subfreezing weather, the tread compound of the Cinturato WeatherActive is designed to stay pliable for winter grip but is still tough and durable enough for long miles. Pirelli covers the Cinturato WeatherActive with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. After looking at average numbers for the WeatherActive, we came to SimpleScores of 9.8 for traction, 9.2 for longevity, and 9.5 for handling – results that show the Pirelli WeatherActive to be not just a great value, but a great performer all around.

2. Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate: Best UHP tire

Time to talk about a UHP tire, and here’s one that’s consistently made a good impression on us: the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate, a tire that drivers have come to know for its superb performance. Goodyear designed the Eagle Exhilarate around a high-silica tread formulation, enhancing the wet-weather grip and wear properties and a tread pattern that includes five ribs and wide circumferential grooves. Thanks to its dense pattern of sipes and lateral/angled grooves, we gave the Eagle Exhilarate a superlative SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction. Cornering, braking distances, and steering response are also top-notch, thanks to a flat, square footprint that’s optimized to keep more rubber in contact with the road. Reinforced shoulders and a stiff tread face help resist squirm and deformation during the inertia and G-forces of hard cornering. The internal construction of the Eagle Exhilarate is durable and stable with a polyester casing, and lightweight, high-tensile steel belts. High-speed stability, road manners, and ride comfort come from two layers of polyamide reinforcement plies. Goodyear covers the Eagle Exhilarate with a 45,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, and SimpleTire calculated a SimpleScore of 8.6 for longevity. That by itself is a really strong point when you bear in mind that most UHP and summer tires don’t even offer a mileage warranty at all.

3. Pirelli Winter SottoZero 3: Best Winter tire

For Buick Cascada drivers who live in areas that regularly see tough winters – the kind of conditions where you know that an all-season tire is just not going to be capable of safely getting you around to where you need to go and back again – there’s the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3. Sottozero translates from Italian as “below zero,” and this tire is a tire that delivers on Pirelli’s long-standing reputation for quality, engineering, and performance. The Sottozero 3’s innovative tread compound is designed to stay flexible for reliable traction in subfreezing weather, with a cutting-edge special blend of polymers. Arrow-shaped blocks in the directional winter tread pattern and rounded shoulders that are dense with grooves help remove water and slush from the contact patch, resisting any tendency toward hydroplaning. 3D sipes multiply grip and surface area with thousands of extra biting edges to dig in and slice their way through snow and slush for a SimpleScore rating of 9.8. Internally, the Winter Sottozero 3 from Pirelli is designed for durability, ride quality, and stability with two steel belts and a spiral-wrapped polyamide layer. The Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service.

These are all the best Buick Cascada tires, but we aren’t done yet. Here’s a couple more to consider:

4. Toyo Celsius II: Great All-Weather tire

The Toyo Celsius II is another great tire from the all-weather category, with the improved grip and performance you need in wet or wintry conditions and the ride comfort, handling, and low noise you’d expect from a Grand Touring tire. As you’d probably expect, the Toyo Celsius II has the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter conditions, with a silica-rich rubber formulation that’s designed for an edge in traction in wet or wintry conditions as well as long, even wear. The Celsius II’s asymmetric tread features large, solid tread blocks and a dense pattern of multi-wave sipes that multiply grip with hundreds of extra hair-thin edges that effectively chew through snow and slush, for a SimpleScore of 8.5 for traction. We’re impressed with this tire’s cornering, braking, and steering dynamics, thanks to the tread pattern’s high-stiffness polyester casing with two steel belts, and a jointless nylon cap ply, for a SimpleScore of 8.6 for handling. All those features also figure into our SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity (and for a Toyo limited manufacturer tread life warranty of 60,000 miles).

5. Kumho Ecsta PA51: Great All-Season tire

Let’s close this list out with the Kumho Ecsta PA51, another all-season tire that’s distinctly oriented toward performance. The Ecsta PA51 is designed for year-round grip while delivering UHP levels of braking, cornering, and overall handling, thanks to wide circumferential grooves that divert water behind the tire’s contact patch to mitigate hydroplaning on wet pavement. Wide shoulder blocks help deliver excellent cornering ability (for a SimpleScore of 9.4 in handling), and a semi-solid center rib boosts road manners, steering response, and straight-line stability. Kumho covers the Ecsta PA51 with a 45,000 mile warranty; an advanced, custom-blended tread compound gives you long, even wear along with superb traction and stiffness for cornering ability. For wintry conditions, there’s a combination of sipes and specially designed tread blocks that deliver the grip you need. SimpleScore for traction is 8.9, and the SimpleScore for longevity is 8.6 with an overall SimpleScore average of 8.8. The Kumho Ecsta PA51 might be a somewhat more affordable tire, but that doesn’t mean any kind of a tradeoff in performance or quality.
