Whether you're driving in extreme conditions or just running around town, you want the best tires possible. Auto pros swear by these picks.
Best all-terrain tires: Toyo Open Country A/T II
Mechanics and other car
professionals have the advantage of seeing how a wide variety of tires
perform, so they know exactly what to recommend to clients—and what to
use on their own cars. Jake Lane, a director and automotive pro at NuBrakes Mobile Brake Repair,
tried out his fair share of all-terrain tires, including ones from BF
Goodrich and Falken, before settling on a favorite. "These Toyo Open
Country tires are by far the best in terms of sound, grip, and
longevity," he says. "The set of Falkens had a beefier look on my truck,
which I liked, but the rubber was super soft and didn't last nearly as
long. The Toyos aren't too expensive either, so it all made for a great
buy." If you haven't been paying much attention to your tires, you need
to start: Tires are actually the most important safety feature on your car.
