When it comes to buying tires, there’s not really a “magic bullet” that works for every vehicle. The best tire for you depends greatly upon your vehicle type, regional and local climate, driving conditions, driving style and so on.
However, all-season tires offer perhaps the best mix of treadwear, traction and performance across a wide range of driving conditions. They are designed with the average driver and majority of standard driving conditions in mind.
All-season tires are like the go-anywhere, everyday tennis shoes of tires.
They’re great for everything except extreme conditions like heavy winter, off-roading or track performance/racing. Chances are: all-seasons are the best bet for your ride.

If your region experiences winter conditions, check out our guide on the best all-season tires for snow. Please note that if your area gets true winter conditions (temps consistently below 45F with or without snow, ice, rain etc.,), then we highly recommend winter tires for your safety. All-season tires cannot perform as well as dedicated winter tires. They cannot brake as well, either.
