Most and Least Satisfying Brands for Winter/Snow Tires
CR's exclusive survey rates 23 popular brands
During foul weather, winter/snow tires can make the difference between getting to work safely or staying home. Traction is aided by their blocky tread patterns and rubber compound that remains pliable in below-freezing temperatures. But how do you know which winter/snow tire is better than another? The answer is simple: Combine Consumer Reports’ extensive test results with satisfaction insights from our members.
Consumer Reports conducts extensive winter/snow tire testing at our Auto Test Center and other northern, snow-bound facilities, and even does brake testing on the controlled surface of a local ice skating rink.
To supplement our instrumented test results, Consumer Reports surveyed more than 23,000 members who reported on tire purchases from 2019 to 2022.
