Your car’s tyres are the only part of the vehicle that makes contact with the road. As such, the driving experience your car provides is largely dependent on the tyres underneath it. Based on research made by consumer report institutes, tyre brands were factored into scores rated in categories of: all-season and performance all-season car tyres, ultra-high-performance (UHP) all-season and UHP summer tyres, all-season and all-terrain truck tyres. This draws up a list of the best down to the least high performing tyres.
