“Suggestions for replacing AT tires on SUV I have an expedition, and used to need AT tires because of where I used to live and work, but now find I don't need them. I was running some Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S. Absolutely fantastic tires, but now I want to get some all weather since its mostly suburban and highway driving. We get a lot of snow so that's important to me as well. Any suggestions or real world advice? Thanks!”

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
