When it comes to issues of gas mileage, safety, and wear-and-tear, nothing can do more good on your vehicle than a set of reliable, well-made tires. Here are 3 that fit most automotives and won’t break the bank.
1) Firestone Precision Touring
A popular tire due to its low price, reliable traction and sleek, one-size-fits-all design, the Precious Touring is used as a stock tire on many big-name vehicles, including the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Chevy Malibu. It features wide traction, which makes for improved handling, and prevents hydroplaning during bad weather.
Good for: Mid-size to luxury sedans, coupes, and family cars
2) Continental PureContact
The PureContact is said to outlast most general all-season tires, and it comes with a special perk — the letters “DWS” on the outside of the tire stand for Dry, Wet and Snow, and they alert drivers to tread depth and safety. When all three letters are visible, the tire is safe to drive in all three of these conditions. Once the letter S disappears after some use, the tire is no longer recommended for driving in light snow.
Good for: Mid-size to luxury sedans, coupes, family and crossover vehicles
3) Michelin Defender
When you need to make sure the kids get to practice on time every time, the Michelin Defender is a great, reliable addition to your family vehicle, and is known for being quiet — you’ll have a safe, comfortable ride, every time. The tire also features low rolling resistance, improving your gas mileage by as much as five miles per gallon.
Good for: Family vehicles such as minivans, and compact- or mid-sized crossover vehicles like the Honda CR-V, or Jeep Cherokee.
