Best Tires — Performance Leaderboards

The shortest-stopping tires in the wet, ranked from wet braking results across multiple independent tire tests — not a single magazine test.

Tires that keep contact with the road in standing water, ranked from straight and curved aquaplaning results across independent tire tests.

The shortest dry stopping distances measured across independent tire tests, aggregated into a single ranking.

Tires with the strongest snow braking and traction results across independent winter and all-season tire tests.

The best tires on ice, ranked from ice braking results in independent Nordic and winter tire tests.

Tires with the best measured wear rates from independent mileage and abrasion testing — the models that stay on your car longest.

The quietest tires measured in independent tests — exterior pass-by noise, interior cabin noise and subjective noise ratings combined.

Tires rated highest for ride comfort and refinement by independent testers across multiple tire tests.

Tires with the lowest measured rolling resistance in independent tests — the models that cost least to roll, mile after mile.

The most efficient tires by measured fuel and energy consumption across independent tire tests — ideal for high-mileage and EV drivers.

The highest-scoring tires from mid-range and budget brands — models that beat their price bracket in independent testing.

Mid-range and budget tires with the strongest measured wear results — the cheapest way to buy long tread life.
