Tires

Before you buy: tires

What to check before you buy

Verify load and speed ratings, wheel size, vehicle guidance, climate, and the tradeoff between traction and efficiency.

Fitment comes first

Confirm model year, configuration, installation requirements, warranty terms, and manufacturer instructions. No category listing on this site establishes compatibility.

Look beyond the purchase price

Compare installation, ongoing subscriptions, replacement parts, return policies, and the seller’s support. Keep written compatibility confirmation and receipts.

General TireHands-on test

Grabber HT

Road-focused tire research

In a seven-tire comparison, it led wet and dry braking and scored well for comfort.

General research; exact fit is not confirmed.

Evidence, fitment and tradeoffs

A highway all-season candidate when braking and road comfort are the priorities.

The tradeoff

Curved aquaplaning was a weakness and rolling resistance was mid-pack. Those results do not predict your EV range.

Strong braking and comfort made it the overall winner of this specific test.

Jonathan Benson, April 2026; seven tires in 265/65 R18. Results do not transfer automatically to other sizes.

Check before ordering

Compatibility: The test size was 265/65 R18 on combustion vehicles. No EV fit is asserted. Match placard size, load, speed, axle ratings, and manufacturer guidance before considering a SKU.

MichelinHands-on test

Defender LTX M/S2

Efficiency and snow tradeoff research

The same test found low rolling resistance and strong snow performance, useful criteria for EV tire research.

General research; exact fit is not confirmed.

Evidence, fitment and tradeoffs

A highway all-season alternative for buyers comparing rolling resistance and winter behavior.

The tradeoff

Wet and dry braking trailed the stronger competitors. An all-season tire is not a substitute for a suitable winter tire in severe conditions.

Snow grip and rolling resistance were strengths; braking was the compromise.

April 2026 comparison in 265/65 R18 on combustion vehicles, not an EV range test.

Check before ordering

Compatibility: No size or load rating is selected for your truck. Check the exact SKU against the placard, axle loads, wheel, and vehicle guidance with a tire professional.

How we choose products and handle fitment

We prioritize named hands-on tests, practical owner installation reports, and manufacturer application documents. Owner anecdotes are labeled and carry less weight than comparative tests. A good review of one version does not prove the performance of a revised product.

Model/year matching narrows research only. Bed dimensions, floor type, charging port, wheel and tire ratings, installation hardware, and trim equipment can change compatibility. A product without a model-specific application is general research, not a universal-fit recommendation.

We do not copy star ratings or let merchant rankings determine the shortlist. These official product links are not affiliate links. We omit fixed prices and stock claims because they change; confirm them with the manufacturer. Optional current offers come from a separately configured merchant feed and do not verify fitment.
