1. Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady - Best all-weather tire
One of the highest-ranked all-weather tires in the US market is by Goodyear, and it scores high in virtually all aspects. The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady is specially built for excellent traction throughout the year across dry, wet, and winter conditions due to Weather Reactive Technology. This technology removes the stress while negotiating changing weather conditions with a special rubber compound to grip icy, snowy, and wet roads. To ensure that grip is not lost when the temperature drops, the rubber compound has soybean oil. Drivers feel confident while maneuvering their Rivieras in the cold due to the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, thereby ensuring a handling SimpleScore of 9.0.
Expect your Riviera to provide excellent dry and wet traction, good enough for us to give a supreme traction handling SimpleScore of 9.5. Performance-based handling and innovative technology are two reasons why every individual would love to buy them. The tires exhibit low tread wear and they get a limited manufacturer warranty of 60,000 miles, enabling us to score 8.7 for longevity.
The overall SimpleScore of 9.2 shows that Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady is a well-rounded tire with SimpleScores high enough for confident grip in moderate to severe cold conditions and other weather conditions, even if the weather changes on a regular basis.
2. Falken Winterpeak F-Ice 1 - Best winter tire
Falken has been making high-quality tires as a Japanese manufacturer in the US since 1985, and has expanded into several vehicle categories over the years. Winter tires like these will help every Buick Riviera drive confidently and with supreme traction during the cold weather, whether for a couple or several months. The Falken Winterpeak F-Ice 1 is available as a studdable winter tire with many features, one of them being the rubber compound with 4D Nano Design technology that keeps tires flexible at low temperatures for consistent traction, leading to an excellent traction SimpleScore of 9.1. You can fit them with TSMI #12 or #13 studs (where permitted) for great traction on deep snow and ice-covered roads. The open shoulders and curved grooves evacuate water and snow to ensure secure contact with the road.
The tread within this tire features sipes, enabling them to bite into the road to generate solid braking power, thereby boosting driver confidence. The directional tread pattern is most helpful for traversing across wet and snowy surfaces. Expect the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol to be visible here, certifying the ability to handle severe winter weather, especially at temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Handling the Riviera in cold conditions will be as easy as the handling SimpleScore of 8.6 suggests. You’ll be able to derive maximum performance from these tires for a fair number of years, as the longevity SimpleScore stands at 8.7.
Based on the above parameters, we have awarded the Falken Winterpeak F-Ice 1 with an overall SimpleScore of 8.7, showing that it is an excellent tire for your Buick Riviera.
While these are the best Buick Rivera tires on the market, there are plenty of other options out there. Here are a few more that you might want to consider:
3. Armstrong Blu-Trac PC - Great all-season tire
All-season tires must compulsorily display great stability and braking, and so does Armstrong Blu-Trac PC. As a company, Armstrong has been making tires since the 1960s but Pirelli took over them in the 1980s. This stint did not last for very long and ZAFCO is the present owner. ZAFCO is striving hard to make Armstrong a reliable brand and one of the best tires showcasing the company’s technical prowess is Blu-Trac PC. The Buick Riviera is a great vehicle to install this symmetrically designed tire that provides a high fuel economy and decreases uneven wear due to low rolling resistance, thereby resulting in a long tread life. Lateral grooves with chamfered edges are also helpful in increasing tire durability. Three dynamic inner ribs are present to reduce noise and ensure a quiet and comfortable ride. Buyers will feel confident in the Armstrong brand due to the limited manufacturer warranty of 85,000 miles, thereby ensuring an excellent longevity score of 9.8. Further, a self-locking sipe system removes water for better traction and braking, leading to a traction SimpleScore of 9.0.
While handling the Riviera on these tires, we felt these were good enough for a handling SimpleScore of 8.3. An overall SimpleScore of 8.8 makes it a great all-season tire to consider for your Rivera.
4. GT Radial IcePro 3 - Good winter tire
Made by GT Radial from Singaporean tire giant Giti Tire, the IcePro 3 is a studdable winter tire that is suitably designed to tackle the harshest snow or ice conditions. While an optimized footprint increases grip by maximizing the road contact patch, enhancements in stud pinhole design and distribution improve ice traction. The directional pattern on the GT Radial IcePro 3 is responsible for low noise generation and good traction in deep snow, prompting us to award a \ traction SimpleScore of 8.0. Wide grooves in the tread are also helpful in removing slush, ice, snow, and water from the contact patch to generate consistent traction and you may add or remove studs. These tires feel confident while braking in the dry and wet, although handling can go astray if they’re driven to their limit. All in all, the GT Radial Ice Pro 3 is good enough for a handling SimpleScore of 8.0.
The Buick Riviera is an ideal vehicle for this symmetrical tire that exhibits long-lasting and sturdy construction, allowing us to give a longevity SimpleScore of 8.5. Overall, the IcePro 3’s SimpleScore of 8.1 makes it a good winter tire for the Buick Riviera.
