Outside of enthusiast circles, most people don’t think about tires all that often. You have to have them to drive, they’re expensive to replace, and then they’re mostly forgotten until you get a flat. The thing is, tires are important. Really important. They’re the only thing that connects your car to the ground, and unfortunately, they aren’t all basically the same.
So if you’re looking to replace your tires, which ones are going to be the best for your particular vehicle? Well, it depends on what you drive, but our friends over at Consumer Reports recently published a list of the best car tires, as well as one for trucks and SUVs. These likely won’t be the least expensive tires you can buy, but the driving experience and significantly longer tread life should more than make up for it.
Click through to see which tires performed the best in Consumer Reports’ testing. We also included a separate video review to give you a different perspective on the top tire for each segment.
