Six of the best bargain tires‌

Best of the best: This all-around choice provides a comfortable ride in most weather conditions (performance is sub-par on snow or ice). With an 80,000-mile tread-life warranty, this is one of the most durable tires around. It features specialized rain grooves to increase hydroplane resistance and is available in 32 sizes, making it compatible with most cars and light vans. Available at Amazon

Best all-season tire: With high performance in various weather conditions, this tire is excellent for everyday use. The tread has large grooves and a combination of lateral and diagonal sipes for enhanced traction in snow and ice. It has an optimized profile for improved mileage and fuel consumption while reducing CO2 emissions. But its size options aren’t suitable for small cars. Available at Amazon

Best high-performance tire: This tire is designed for high-speed cornering and traction and offers excellent performance on wet roads. It delivers one of the shortest braking distances, along with dependable handling in light snow. Its speed rating of up to 150 mph is suitable for most performance cars. It has a 45,000-mile warranty. Available at Amazon

Best all-terrain tire‌: Its saw-tooth tread and deep center grooves provide excellent off-road driving capabilities and improved wet and dry traction. The design isn’t overly bulky, which keeps noise down to a minimum when driving on freeways, while the 2,039-pound load capacity is ample for most SUVs. However, it doesn’t match the capability of a true winter tire. Available at Amazon

Best snow tire: This tire is designed to remain flexible in freezing conditions with a unique multi-cell compound. Its microscopic bite particles and three-dimensional zigzag sipes combine to provide confident braking on ice and snow but is noisy on dry roads. It is available in sizes ranging from 15-18 inches, making it suitable for most midsize cars and light trucks. Available at Amazon

Best bang for your buck: Supplied in most sizes, this all-around option is great for most weather conditions — it isn’t the best on snow. It features visual alignment indicators to avoid irregular tire wear. The tread is designed using low-surface-abrasion technology for improved durability. It has excellent stability throughout the speed range with minimal road noise or vibration. Available at Amazon
