“Got a good deal on these tires from Walmart at $111 per tire (price appears to have recently gone up, but still a good deal). They were shipped to my house. Hankook Kinergy PT H737 All-Season Tire - 225/55R18 98H Very impressed so far. Very comfortably tire, and car handles well. Had these installed at Walmart, but I'm sure you can get them installed at any tire shop.”

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.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
