Chrysler Concorde Tires

Chrysler’s Concorde was introduced in 1997 as the sibling to the Dodge Intrepid; these FWD models were groundbreaking for their time, with roomy and comfortable interiors, good fuel economy, and strong performance. The Concorde/Intrepid were built on Chrysler’s LH “Cab Forward” platform, with aerodynamic styling for a low drag coefficient, good fuel economy, and low noise. Concordes and Intrepids also featured a new family of V6 engines in 2.7L, 3.2L, and 3.5L sizes. The Concorde went through two generations and was available in Base, LX, LXI, and Limited trim levels before being discontinued in 2004. Interestingly, 2nd-gen Concorde models were almost 8 inches longer than the previous generation but over 100 lbs lighter thanks to extensive use of aluminum for weight reduction. Concorde models could have about 20 mpg city/28 mpg highway despite their size and heft.

Here at SimpleTire, our team has reviewed the catalog and chosen some of the best premium tires for your Chrysler Concorde, including all-season and winter tires, and then ranked them in Best/Great/Good order. We then used our SimpleScore system to determine numerical scores in each tire's traction, handling, and longevity categories. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:

1. Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus - Best All-Season Tire

Next up is an all-season tire designed for excellent fuel efficiency, low rolling resistance, and year-round performance, the Ecopia EP422 Plus from Bridgestone. The Ecopia EP422 Plus is covered by a 70,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty, thanks in part to Bridgestone’s NanoProTech tread compound that’s engineered for excellent wear properties and a design that incorporates a polyester casing with two steel belts and a nylon cap layer for excellent stability and durability. Traction gets an equally strong SimpleScore of 9.5, with circumferential grooves, notched shoulders, sipes, and lateral grooves that help cut through standing water to resist hydroplaning and provide a consistent, confident grip on wet or dry pavement. The Ecopia EP422 Plus’s SimpleScore of 9.3 for handling comes partly from a solid center rib that boosts steering response, driver feedback, straight-line stability, and road manners. The balance of low rolling resistance, excellent wear properties, and predictable handling and traction make the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus a solid choice for a Chrysler Concorde.

2. Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus - Best Winter tire

Now it’s time for our pick for a dedicated winter tire for the Chrysler Concorde, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus. This European-design winter tire gives you the peace of mind and confidence you need to get through the nastiest winter conditions. The UltraGrip Performance Plus is designed for high-performance cars, leaving behind winter tires' reputation for being sluggish and clumsy in their handling properties. Goodyear designed the UltraGrip Performance Plus around a silica-enhanced rubber formulation that stays flexible for traction when temperatures are well below freezing while still being durable enough for extended wear. This rubber formulation is molded into a directional tread pattern, with Goodyear’s TredLock 3D sipes joining forces to chew through snow and deliver confident traction 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). Strong shoulder blocks and sidewalls help with cornering and steering response, the kind of control that’s more what you’d expect from a performance tire for a solid SimpleScore of 9.9 in the handling department. The Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Plus also lives up to Goodyear’s reputation for durability, with a SimpleScore of 9.8 for longevity.

These are our picks for some of the best premium tires for a Chrysler Concorde, but we’re not done yet. Here are a couple more to think about:

3. Kumho Solus TA51A - Great All-Season Tire

Next up on our list is the Solus TA51A, a premium all-season tire from Kumho. We’ve had a good impression with every tire from this Korean tire manufacturer, and the Solus TA51A is no exception. Kumho covers the Solus TA51A with a 65,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty; with its silica-rich tread compound, polyester casing, twin steel belts, and two-ply nylon cap layer, it registers an excellent SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity. With a SimpleScore of 8.4, traction is another notable plus with this tire – the Solus TA51A features an asymmetric tread pattern with a high density of 3D sipes that help enhance grip in wet or wintry conditions and four wide circumferential grooves to channel water away to resist hydroplaning. During cornering or other sharp maneuvers, the 3D chamfered edges of the Solus TA51A’s tread blocks help resist tread squirm and deformation and keep the most rubber in contact with the pavement for a SimpleScore of 8.6 for handling.

4. GT Radial Maxtour LX - Good All-Season Tire

Let’s wrap up this list with the Maxtour LX from GT Radial, an all-season tire designed for year-round traction, premium-tire ride quality, and UHP-tire performance, all at a surprisingly affordable price point. Steering response, cornering, and braking exceed expectations, with a solid center tread rib, stiff shoulder blocks, and an independent tread groove toward the shoulder. Our team reviewed the data and gave the GT Radial Maxtour LX a SimpleScore of a solid 9.1 for handling. For excellent grip on wet or dry pavement, GT Radial incorporated a combination of sipes and circumferential and lateral/angled grooves for a SimpleScore of 9.1 for traction. Wear properties of the GT Radial Maxtour LX are also good; GT Radial covers it with a 70,000 mile warranty, which we calculated to a SimpleScore of 9.4 for longevity. The GT Radial Maxtour LX is a tire that offers quick, predictable handling and a quiet, forgiving ride for excellent value and performance.
