Here at SimpleTire, our team has gone through the catalog and selected the best Plymouth Prowler tires, including all-season, UHP all-season, and UHP tires, then ranked them in Best/Great/Good order. We then used our SimpleScore system to determine a numerical value for the categories of traction, longevity, and handling for each tire. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:
1. Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season - Best All-Season tire
When Pirelli’s design team envisioned the Scorpion Verde All Season, the goal was to develop an all-season tire that was ecologically friendly and could deliver on the expectations of performance and value that Pirelli has come to be associated with. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season is designed for low rolling resistance for fuel savings over the life of the tire, thanks to its tread design and lightweight construction. Its silica-enhanced tread formulation offers a great wet-weather grip with excellent wear properties. For traction in wet, dry, or light wintry conditions, its all-season tread features circumferential and lateral grooves and a dense network of sipes that multiply grip with hundreds of hair-thin edges. The Scorpion Verde All Season is quiet, too, with a sound-absorbing layer of foam undertread on select sizes and a randomized tread pitch that’s tuned to negate certain frequencies and resonances for low noise. SimpleScore data on the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season gives an overall average of 8.9, with 9.5 for handling, 8.2 for longevity, and 9.2 for traction. Pirelli covers the Scorpion Verde with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. The Scorpion Verde All Season is quiet too, with a sound-absorbing layer of foam undertread on select sizes.
The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is designed as a tire that wouldn’t require any compromise in performance vs traction, ride quality, and noise levels. In other words, it’s a tire that can offer the short braking distances, overall handling, cornering, driver feedback, and steering response you’d expect from a UHP tire along with dependable year-round grip. The ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is an even stronger package when you remember that most UHP and summer tires have the limitation of a softer, stickier tread formulation will stiffen up and lose traction on colder days, at which point they have to be swapped for all-season tires. Continental improved on the proven design of the ExtremeContact DWS06, upgrading it in just about every aspect, starting with the Sport+ Tech package that delivers cornering ability and responsiveness that is direct and precise. Reinforced 2-ply sidewalls and macroblocks in the tread give a driver handling that’s confident and immediate without ever being touchy or over-sensitive, for an outstanding SimpleScore of 9.9 in that category. For year-round grip, you can count on great wet-weather traction and long wear with a silica-rich tread compound. In rainy conditions or light snow, a system of circumferential grooves, sweeping lateral grooves, and X-sipes evacuate water from the tire’s contact patch and give the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus an advantage in grip for a traction score of 9.8. Continental stands by the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty (unlike most UHP tires), for a SimpleScore of 9.2 in the longevity department.
3. Bridgestone Potenza Sport - Best UHP tire
Our pick for an ultra-high-performance tire is the Bridgestone Potenza Sport. The Potenza Sport is designed to offer the best of both worlds: dependable traction, an exhilarating, confident driving experience on wet or dry pavement, and a quiet, refined ride. The Potenza Sport is designed with a sticky silica-rich tread formulation that delivers great mechanical grip with the pavement, and a performance-oriented tread pattern that maintains the most rubber possible in contact with the road. Four wide circumferential grooves evacuate water from the contact patch, boosting wet–weather performance and avoiding hydroplaning. A network of 3D sipes enhances wet-weather traction and tread stiffness for great cornering response, and its computer-tuned tread pattern keeps road noise to a minimum by negating certain resonances and frequencies. By our calculations, that averages to a SimpleScore of 9.9 for handling and 9.9 for traction. The Potenza Sport does fall somewhat in the rankings when it comes to longevity, with a SimpleScore of 7.3. The Potenza Sport doesn’t come with a treadwear warranty (most UHP tires don’t), and isn’t a good tire for winter conditions: the softer, stickier tread formulation will harden and lose traction in colder weather. Like all UHP and summer tires, the Potenza Sport shouldn’t be used if temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
While these are the best Plymouth Prowler tires, there are plenty of other options to consider.
4. Yokohama Geolandar X-CV - Great All-Season tire
Next up we’ve got the Yokohama Geolandar X-CV, an all-season tire that’s designed specifically around the performance of today’s SUVs and crossovers but is also a great choice for the Plymouth Prowler. The Geolandar X-CV registers a SimpleScore of 8.6 for traction, thanks to a silica-rich tread formulation that boosts wet-weather grip, an all-season tread with four circumferential grooves, and a staggered pattern of 2D and 3D sipes. We’ve also noted the cornering, steering response, and braking properties of the Geolandar X-CV, thanks to its stable internal construction and rigid, reinforced shoulder that stands up to the forces and inertia of cornering. With that taken into account, we give the Geolandar X-CV a SimpleScore of 9.1 for handling. Yokohama covers the Geolandar X-CV with a 50,000 mile warranty, for a longevity score of 8.4 according to SimpleScore rankings. We should also mention the superbly quiet ride of the Geolandar X-CV, with a five-pitch tread pattern that’s randomized and tuned to cancel frequencies and mute road noise.
5. Toyo Proxes ST III - Good All-Season tire
We’re going to wrap this list up with the Toyo Proxes ST III, a performance-oriented all-season tire for light trucks and SUVs. The Proxes ST III is designed to offer shorter braking distances, sharp, responsive steering, and predictable, stable cornering, with a directional chevron-shaped tread pattern, wide shoulder blocks, and deep grooves. Our team gave this tire a SimpleScore of a solid 8.7 for handling. Year-round grip is also quite good thanks to that tread design and a pattern of multi-wave sipes, for a SimpleScore of 8.6 in the traction category. Toyo backs the Proxes ST III with a 40,000 mile warranty, and the Proxes ST III is built for durability in terms of its internal design – we give this tire a SimpleScore of 8.1 for longevity.
