How To Choose A Summer Tire: Which All-Season Is Right For You?
Article produced by the PMCTire.com team
To help you choose a tire model that suits your vehicle and driving style in the summer season, the PMCtire.com team evaluated almost all the summer and all-season tires available on the Canadian market. The top ten best summer and all-season tires have been identified for twelve different categories of cars, SUVs and pick-ups. Many tires that come factory-standard on new vehicles were also evaluated.
Our main summer and all-season tire evaluation criteria were durability (resistance to wear), handling, stability on corners, traction on dry and wet surfaces, resistance to hydroplaning, price and comfort in summer driving conditions.
To complete the tire evaluations and rankings, we analyzed several sources of information, such as road test reports, automobile-related news articles, client comments and numerous consumer reviews from Canadian forums or North American automobile websites.
Obviously, the points were awarded subjectively and a tire’s score can vary from one person to another based on each person’s driving style, expectations and experience.
You’ll also notice that the results are very similar from one model to the next. This is mainly due to the fact that, within a given category, manufacturers tend to use the same technology to develop and design tires.
