All-Season Tire Evaluations - 2015 Edition

Here’s how we rated high-performance summer tires specifically developed for sport utility vehicles, light-duty trucks, minivans, 4x4s and pickups.

Tires in this category are designed especially for roads and trails covered in mud, dirt or gravel. These tires offer a lot of off-road capability but can also be used on-road. Note, however, that they are very noisy and offer limited traction on paved surfaces.
