So, you need a tire replacement—what tire brand is best for your vehicle?

If you have driven on OEM tires since day-one, never needing a tire replacement before now, the sheer size of our tire catalog and the number of different brands can be overwhelming. But don’t worry—your local TIRECRAFT technician is here to help you solve the paradox of choice and make the perfect pick with unbiased advice, expert knowledge, and authoritative tire research.

If you’re not ready to start your free consultation, but you still want to make some progress on your tire replacement task, you’d do well to start your tire research by reviewing the results of the J.D. Power 2022 Original Equipment Tire Customer Satisfaction Study released last month.

This annual study measures tire owner satisfaction in the following four areas, listed in order of importance:

1. Tire ride
2. Tire wear
3. Tire traction/handling
4. Tire appearance

These were the most popular tire brands in three different categories:

• Michelin ranks highest in the luxury segment, scoring 830/1000. Goodyear came in second place, scoring 811/1000.
• Pirelli ranks highest in the passenger car segment, scoring 813/1000. Once again, Goodyear came in second with 808/1000, and Michelin rolled in third with a score of 807/1000.
• BFGoodrich ranks highest in the truck/utility segment, scoring 812/1000. Michelin takes second place with 807/1000, and Firestone comes in third at 805/1000.

Any of these brands make a great choice for your tire replacement, and no matter which you choose, you’ll find their complete 2022 lineup at your local TIRECRAFT. Additionally, your purchase will earn you discount dollars via the MyTIRECRAFT custom loyalty rewards program, and we may be able to save you even more with one of our exciting Promotions.
