1. Toyo Open Country H/T II - Best Highway tire

We’ll kick things off with a tire that’s been making a good impression on us for some time: the Toyo Open Country H/T II. If the highway terrain category is something you’re not familiar with, HT tires have a lot of common ground with all-season tires but are designed with more of an emphasis on the refined ride quality and low noise that you would expect from Grand Touring tires. Toyo covers the Open Country H/T II from the factory with a 45,000 mile or 70,000 mile warranty (depending on size and speed rating), which is all we needed to hear for an outstanding 9.6 SimpleScore for longevity. Year-round grip is also a real plus with this tire, thanks to multi-wave zigzag sipes, expanding shoulder grooves, and circumferential grooves that efficiently divert water away from the tire’s contact patch for great grip in wet conditions for a traction SimpleScore of 8.3. We also like the fact that braking, road feedback, cornering dynamics, and steering response are all precise and consistent for a SimpleScore of 8.7 for handling. You can also personalize the looks of your truck or SUV - Toyo designed the Open Country H/T II to be reversible, with a plain sidewall on one side and a sporty black-letter sidewall on the other (outlined white letter sidewall also available).

2. Kumho Crugen HP71 - Best All-Season tire

Next up on our list is a great value in an all-season tire, the Kumho Crugen HP71. For quite some time now, our team has thought that Kumho products in general deliver premium quality and performance, and the Crugen HP71 is no exception, with a very respectable SimpleScore of 9.1 for longevity. The advanced tread compound of the Crugen HP71 is designed for excellent wear properties, enough for Kumho to offer a 65,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. Steering feedback, response, road manners, and cornering are along the lines of what you might expect from a performance tire, with a rigid center rib and shoulder blocks that resist the deformation and tread squirm that go along with the forces of braking and cornering. SimpleScore for handling: 8.6. After looking at the reviews and crunching the numbers, the Crugen HP71 comes in with a SimpleScore of 8.4 for traction. Its tread pattern includes circumferential grooves, micro-serrations, lateral voids, and full-depth sipes that help with solid, consistent grip on a variety of pavement surfaces, whether it’s wet, dry, or wintry conditions on the roads. The Kumho Crugen HP71 is also quiet and refined, with a tread pitch that’s randomized and computer-tuned to reduce resonances and cancel certain frequencies, keeping highway noise to a minimum.

3. Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 - Best Winter tire

We always try to include a winter tire, and the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 is a perfect option for winter performance for your light truck or crossover. The Blizzak DM-V2 has the design features and technology to help you navigate through some of the most difficult winter conditions without putting you and your passengers through a nerve-wracking, slip-sliding ride. This dedicated winter tire is packed with advanced features. A winter tire must stay pliable for traction in subfreezing weather, and the Blizzak DM-V2 has a next-generation winter tread formulation that incorporates Bridgestone’s multi-cell rubber compounds and a hydrophilic coating for flexibility. For winter traction in extreme conditions, the Blizzak maximizes rubber contact with the road with increased block edges in its tread pattern. Its tread compound is infused with tiny “bite particles” that let the Blizzak DM-V2 really build friction for the grip you need on snowy, slushy, or icy surfaces, earning a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. That enhanced contact patch also helps to improve steering feedback and response as well as traction and control, chalking up a solid SimpleScore of 8.9 for handling. Durability is another real strength of this tire; intuitively, most tires will lose traction as they wear down, but Bridgestone designed the Blizzak DM-V2 with NanoPro Tech Multicell Compound for the first 55% of the tire’s tread depth. After that part of the tread wears down, the remaining 45% of tread depth is a standard winter compound that still offers excellent grip on snow and slush (SimpleScore of 9.3 for longevity). As you’d probably expect, the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service. The overall composite score for the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 is an outstanding 9.3.

4. Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 - Best All-Terrain tire

To get the most out of the performance of a 4WD-equipped light truck or SUV, you need premium all-terrain tires. An all-terrain tire that’s been a favorite of drivers for years is the Geolandar AT G015 from Yokohama. Yokohama’s Geolandar family has had a praise-worthy reputation as an all-terrain tire design for a long time, and the Geolandar AT G015 is a natural next step in that evolution. Yokohama designed the Geolandar AT G015 with their tough Enduro tread formulation and a flat, optimized footprint that helps with long, even wear (with a 60,000 mile warranty). We ran our calculations and marked up a SimpleScore of 8.8 for longevity for the Geolandar AT G015. Grip on- or off-road is also quite good, with a combination of 3D sipes, circumferential grooves, lateral/angled grooves, and Yokohama’s Edgetec groove design. The Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 is rated with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake sidewall stamp for severe winter service, and we give it a very strong 8.6 SimpleScore in the traction department. Road manners, steering feedback, cornering, and steering response are all superb, thanks to those tread features along with durable, stable Endurocore construction. Our SimpleScore numerical rating for handling:: 8.4. Overall aggregate SimpleScore for the Geolandar AT G015: 8.7.

5. Bridgestone Alenza A/S Ultra - Great All-Season tire

Let’s wrap this list up with the Bridgestone Alenza A/S Ultra, a highly versatile all-season tire that’s long been a favorite for its performance and year-round grip on dry, wet, or snowy roads. It’s a very capable tire that’s notable for its low highway noise and refined ride quality, more like what you’d expect with a Grand Touring tire, as well as delivering the value and long wear that drivers need. The Alenza A/S Ultra is one of the newer iterations of Bridgestone’s proven Alenza tire family, and Bridgestone engineers were shooting for the goals of long, even tread wear, and precise handling. The Alenza A/S Ultra is designed from the ground up with an advanced silica-based tread compound that offers dependable grip in wet or wintry conditions, great wear properties as well as good heat dissipation and noise suppression. When the roads are slick with rain, the Alenza A/S Ultra’s asymmetric all-season tread pattern channels water away from the tire’s contact patch with wide circumferential and angled grooves, helping to resist a tendency toward hydroplaning. If winter weather comes in and the snow starts to pile up, there’s Bridgestone’s Snow Vices, grooves that are designed to build snow-on-snow friction by actually picking up and retaining snow for consistent, reliable traction. A dense network of sipes helps with winter traction by adding hundreds of extra biting edges to slice through snow and slush. You’ll love the low noise levels of the Alenza A/S Ultra; Bridgestone’s Quiet Track technology package helps cut pattern noise and negates certain frequencies for a ride that’s peaceful and serene. Internal details of the Alenza A/S Ultra include a polyester casing that’s reinforced with two steel belts and a spiral-wound nylon cap layer, for the long wear, durability, and reassuring, stable road feel you’re looking for. Bridgestone is confident enough to cover the Alenza A/S Ultra with an 80,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. Our numbers show that the Alenza A/S Ultra registers an overall average SimpleScore of 9.6, with marks of 9.55 for handling, 9.7 for longevity, and 9.7 for traction. Long, even wear, consistent grip in a variety of weather conditions, and handling that’s accurate and composed – that's what the Bridgestone Alenza A/S Ultra is all about.
