Tires by type
Pick the lane that matches how you actually drive. Each list is scored by CarCareTruth on tread quality, ingredient health, and environmental footprint, then ranked by that score. Once you know the type you want, confirm your car's exact size and match it.

Know your car? Find your size first
The tire type sets the tread; your car sets the size. Pick your year, make, and model to confirm your factory (OE) size, then match it to a tire in any type below.
Find tires for your carTire type questions
- How do I choose the right tire type?
- Start with how and where you actually drive. A quiet daily commute points to a touring or grand-touring all-season tire; real snow points to a winter or all-weather tire rated 3PMSF; trails point to all-terrain or mud-terrain; a sports car on warm roads points to a summer or performance tire; a truck that tows on the highway points to a highway (HT) tire. Pick the lane that matches your driving, then confirm your car's exact size.
- Does the tire type change which size I need?
- No. Your factory (OE) tire size comes from your car, not the tire type, so the size stays the same whether you buy a touring tire or a winter tire. The type decides the tread and compound; the size decides what physically fits your wheels. Confirm your size on the driver's-door jamb sticker.
- Does CarCareTruth rank specific tire models?
- Tires that carry a CarCareTruth score are ranked on tread quality, ingredient health, and environmental footprint within each type. CarCareTruth does not lab-test tires or claim one model wins on track. For independent model-by-model test data, Tire Rack and Consumer Reports test specific tires.
