Best All Season Tires

All-season tires provide utility and versatility in all kinds of weather — rain, snow, heat, and ice included. The tires reflect careful engineering in their design and selection of materials to allow them to perform well and provide the handling that will keep you and your family safe. One advantage of all-season tires is they can stay on your car throughout the year. That means you won’t have to change tires every fall and spring, and you won’t need to find storage for the spares during the in-between periods.

Michelin Cross-Climate

The CrossClimate2 tire from Michelin gets plenty of attention in reviews of the best all-season tires. CrossClimate2 tires are all-season and available for sedans, station wagons, crossovers, and full-size SUVs. You can use this tire in all types of climates except those that receive enough snowfall to require a snow tire.

The tire is under warranty for 60,000 miles. According to the Michelin website, the CrossClimate2 stopped cars in testing conditions up to 56 feet shorter than competing tires. On dry payment, the Cross-Climate2 stopped 16 feet sooner on average. On various review sites, customers give the CrossClimate2 very high ratings for wet and dry pavement handling, as well as for winter/snow performance.

Prices vary depending on size but generally range between $155 and $260 per tire.

Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady

Goodyear’s Assurance WeatherReady tires also merit a potential spot on your all-season tire shortlist. Described by the company as its best all-weather traction tire, the WeatherReady comes with an asymmetric tread pattern that is designed to move water away from the tire and promote good traction on the pavement. Reviewers found the tire to perform as promised, producing confident handling on wet pavement and dry. Customer reviews and test results online rate the WeatherReady as excellent in wet/dry performance and in winter/snow performance.

WeatherReady tires are available in sizes ranging from 15 to 20 inches, making them a candidate for vehicles ranging from sedans to trucks. The 15-inch version sells for $100, while the larger tires sell for about $230 each. You also get the peace of mind of a 6-year/60,000-mile tread-life warranty on the WeatherReady.

Firestone WeatherGrip

Firestone distinguishes the WeatherGrip tire ever so slightly from the competition through its warranty, which covers the tread for 65,000 miles (though with certain conditions and limitations).  The company also backs its tires with a 90-day money-back guarantee: Try the tires for 90 days, and if you are not happy, Firestone will refund your money or replace your tires with no questions asked.

Reviewers note that the WeatherGrip comes very close to feeling like a snow tire, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The tire fits 15-inch through 20-inch wheels, making it a candidate for drivers of coupes, family sedans, station wagons, and crossovers. Customer reviews say the WeatherGrip tires are excellent in wet, dry, and snowy conditions. The Firestone WeatherGrip sells for between $110 and $200 per tire.

Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack

If you are a driver who likes to keep tires as long as possible, consider the Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack. Bridgestone backs the tires with an 80,000-mile limited mileage warranty, which is a vote of confidence in its engineering if ever we saw one. You can also try the tires for 90 days and return them for a refund, no questions asked.

The tires provide confidence in handling in both wet and snowy conditions. Available in 15- through 20-inch sizes, you can fit the Turanza QuietTrack onto most of today’s cars and sedans. The tires also perform well in tests in providing a quiet and comfortable ride. Turanza tires get excellent ratings in many online reviews for wet and dry conditions as well as good ratings for winter/snow performance.

The Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack all-season tires range in price from about $150 to $250 per tire.

Continental PureContact LS

If you drive a sedan, coupe, minivan, or small crossover and are looking for handling that tracks with your expectations, you may consider the Continental PureContact LS.  More than anything, the Continental PureContact LS is considered a tire that offers reliable handling on wet and dry roads and even in lightly snowy conditions.

Offering an asymmetric tire tread pattern for reducing the impact of moisture on your drive, the PureContact LS is made of rubber that is sensitive to temperature changes to reduce wear and tear and provide more grip on the road. The PureContact LS is highly rated in both wet and dry conditions and for winter/snow performance. The tires are available to fit rims with 16- to 20-inch diameters. Depending on size and vehicle, the PureContact LS will run between $125 and $240 per tire.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S

The Defender brings all-season features to vans, pickups, SUVs, commercial vans, and other heavier-duty vehicles. The tires get excellent customer reviews online for wet and dry performance, winter and snow driving, and for comfort.
