Do expensive tires perform better? Are expensive tires worth the additional cost? AAA recently performed a study with 12 different all-season tires, in two different price categories, for two different vehicles. A 2017 Ford F-150 and a 2017 Toyota Camry were selected for the test since they are the most popular passenger cars and light trucks, representative of what many people are driving. Each car had six different tires were tested, and each tires had two sets: one brand new, and one set worn down to 4/32nds.
The results they found are fascinating, as price is not the leading factor in which determines whether or not a tire will perform well in the wet (new or worn), even among competing tires within the same category. There were large variations among the individual tires, and to make the best decision when purchasing tires, it's ideal to look up information on the individual tires you are considering. Some higher cost tires proved to be worth it, while others didn't perform as well as lower cost tires. Check out the video for full details!
It should be noted that the tests in this video focus on wet performance: braking from 60 mph to 0 mph in 1mm of water, and skid past testing for lateral acceleration on 0.8mm of water. Both of these tests are performed with both new and worn tires. There is also NVH testing performed on new tires. The results do not show the differences in dry performance, or show how long a tire will last, or discuss warranty. There may be reasons to spend more on a tire that do not necessarily correlate with wet performance.

I loved this video, it has so much useful and relevant information about the different tires, brands and designs! I was shocked to see that in comparison to the really expensive tires, the relatively cheap Kumho tire performed really well on all areas. What I'm wondering now, is if there is information like this, information about worn vs new tire performance for more brands, like Toyo Tires, Falken and Nankang? I'd be very interested to see those as well! Again, loved the video and keep up the good work!

How about the claimed warranted mileage? My uncle's 2011 Explorer chewed through a $1100 set of Premier LTXs in 23,000 miles. It's a 55,000 mile warranty tire, and yes his alignment was good. One his second set, he went from 5k mile rotations to 3k miles rotations and made it to almost 26,000 miles. He now has bridgestones, which he doesn't like as much, but hopefully will last. Time will tell. My 2012 Volvo XC60 came with half worn out Hankook tires on it when I got it used and I had gotten 33,000 out of them when replaced at 3/32. No, I did not buy Michelins.

I've been a tire fanatic since the mid 80's and have read and watched tire reviews for decades. The one major thing that makes AAA's test irrelevant in the worn tire test is artificially inducing wear on the tire. A tire goes through heat cycles and climate temperature changes throughout it's life cycle, all those variables can make a big difference on the performance at the end of it's life cycle. In the past I've had some tires show signs of cracking and tread separation before the wear bars were near the limit. That would never show up in an artificially induced wear test and could potentially be more dangerous than the reduced stopping distance. Sorry for the geek tire rant, my wife says I'm insane when it takes me a week of research to pick out tires for our cars lol.

Florida uses sea shells in their asphalt. So my rule of thumb is Michelin in the south. Everything else in the north. I do run some Michelin and they are the model with the walnut oil. Yes. the Premieres. Cheers.

That 10ft stopping distance can mean life or parking the car ahead of you in the trunk of the car ahead of it. I sold and installed tires on thousands of vehicles at a big box club store, the Michelin tires always lasted longer, had the best reputation, had the best customer satisfaction, lasted closer to the mileage warranty and in my opinion, performed better than ANY other A/S tire made. The extra $100-$200 a set is entirely worth it to me. Save the others for drifting/track and run the best possible tire you can afford on the road. Best does not always mean most expensive either. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH FOR YOUR EXACT TIRE SIZE AND DESIRED APPLICATION.

This is what the study says: "All tires were artificially worn using Michelin North America, Inc. equipment, under the supervision of and/or close inspection by AAA researchers. The tread profile of all tires was precisely measured by a laser scanner and the profile data was then input into a specialized buffing machine that automatically buffed the tire surface with an abrasive disk that provides a surface finish representative of actual road-wear. The machine was manually operated for the final buffing stage. All tires were buffed to a uniform tread depth of 4/32” and prepared in a manner consistent with ASTM F- 1046-01 [4]. This standard for preparing worn tires was utilized because it ensures all tires are worn in the same manner. This would not be possible with actual road-wear."

It's fascinating to see the differences not only in price but also between new and worn tires. The "mechanically worn tires" which I applaud that disclosure, might not legitimately represent a road worn tire with edges scuffed off and hardened tread compounds from repeated heating and cooling over the years. I do realized that there are unlimited variables that could be taken into consideration for tire testing but you've done an excellent job here. Again an outstanding video. This has also confirmed my choice for many years of Michelin tires in all applications. I just have to put in a plug for Michelin. Over many years they have served me very well in all types of midwestern weather and have contributed in my avoiding many traffic "incidents" over the years.

I live in Michigan and the year I decided to STOP using All-Season tires year round and go with a set of Blizzak WS-70/80 snow tires in the winter and a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions in the summer was the year everything changed for the better. DITCH THE ALL-SEASONS IN THE SNOW - keep the All-Seasons for wet/dry in the summer only. You can't even begin to understand how extremely superior a modern snow tire is in the winter to an all-season tire in the winter. It's like not even having snow on the ground, that's nearly how well the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-70/80 series works when you put a set on ALL four wheels (regardless of FWD, RWD, 4WD).

This is one set of tests, testing only one facet of a tire (wet performance), done at a facility Michellian has 24/7 access to. So it's not really a surprise they did well. It doesn't tell you how well they might perform: on a temperate day, on a high temp dry day, on a gravel road, or very low temperatures. These are all conditions that an "all season" tire may face. You may find some very different results. Not saying the Michellians are bad; I've got some on my FoST. Keep an open mind, though.

First off, wanna say love this channel. Subscribed and watch a lot. I replaced the crappy entry level Fierce Instinct 'performance' tires that came on my Golf Sportwagon with Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric A/S. A vast improvement in every way. Wet/dry grip, handling, better ride quality (by a large amount) and lower noise. They even did ok in light snow. The original tires were underivable in any amount of snow. I'm running 18x225 btw. Even though this is basically an econobox, it has terrific handling & I like to push it pretty hard. Maybe a bit too much, as got a speeding ticket on way home from work. Originally wanted Michelin Pilot Sport summers, but decided I'm too cheap and lazy to run two sets. I got the Eagles because they were $200 less a set than the Michelin Pilot A/S. I have zero regrets. These are fantastic tires. $600 for a set plus $50 install is a lot of money in my book, but I think well worth it. I don't drive a lot, so these will probable last life of the car.

To really get a good correlation they should have run much more than 6 tires, although I imagine it came down to cost for doing the study. Statistically you can't do all that much with 6 samples though, you need more like 30 to get good statistics.

For what they are trying to test I don't think running multiple versions of the same tire actually helps, beyond reducing the uncertainty in the values for that particular tire. The same is true for running the tests multiple times. And actually you're definitely only getting one data point between four tires, so that fact doesn't help at all. They're trying to look at the correlation between price and performance for all tires, so their samples need to be different tires at different price points. Yes, there are valid tests to can do for small sample sizes, but they still aren't as reliable as having larger samples. Thats why we have the replication crisis in psychology. Everyone uses as few samples as possible and only publishes significant positive results, so almost every result is actually just a statistical artifact.

Excellent information! A suggestion for the future would be the inflation pressures of tires. There is a very large amount of opinion on this, especially in the RV crowd. Many say to inflate to what the pressure embossed on the tire is. Others say to reduce it to 90% of that. Though on a brand new rig, the recommended inflation pressure is provided on a label on the driver's side door panel, there is still confusion. Especially when tires are replaced with non-OEM tires. My reason for this suggestion is regarding safety. Where there may be many of the tire failures are due to incorrect operating inflation pressure.

I have an F250 with Michelins on it and I use the same tire for trailering my race car in the summer and plowing the snow in my parking lot in the winter. The Michelin performs so well under these extreme conditions that I only use the four wheel drive a couple of times a year.

Excellent video bringing us up to speed with AAA's test data, however as some others may have already noted, their method of "randomly" selecting the tires seems suspect... beyond what my inner skeptic would have kicked in. I find it odd that the Michelin tires were what they offer as their premium model, whereas I have a feeling the other brand tires were not their top-shelf gear. As you even pointed out, the Goodyear tires tested were arguably grouped in the high price category, despite the fact they were closer in price to the low price category. And because they tested only three sets in each price group, that seemingly small error can skew the results significantly. It'd be interesting to see how the results look if the Goodyear data were ignored. But, I am pleased to see that they were willing to test tires in the worn condition, since as you pointed out is a rare find in published results. I am actually surprised that this isn't something done by the NHTSA, but as is usually the case, the need for this data is more likely driven by consumer need rather than necessary for safety and thus hasn't been within their scope. I just hope that more people can show an interest in this data to have AAA or any other third party do their own testing on a wider variety of tires to better represent any correlation between cost and performance. Believing that a sample of 3 has any statistical significance is just not good.

My mechanic advised against directional High Performance tires due to my disdain for loud tires. Is quite ride truly a drawback to directional tires? Are directional tires more likely to get "chopped" during regular driving making them much louder? If you have a chopped tire, will a healthy burnout smooth it out and quite it down?

Bad Drivers of NW Montana the laws of physics still apply here. You can pretty much guarantee that both cars are engaging the ABS system when braking, meaning that for both the F150 and Camry, the tires are the limiting factor, not the braking system. For the F150 there is more downward force on the tires since it’s heavier than the Camry. This equates to more friction between the tire and road which could have contributed to the better braking performance.
@iamstd2

nagonzo counterpoint: the car has narrower tires than the truck, which is better for "bad" surfaces like rain and snow. Even though the truck is heavier, the contact patch is bigger so it probably sinks down about the same as the car. Imagine standing in sand barefoot, and them standing in sand on a board.

Usually bigger, heavier and faster cars have better brakes to cope with braking at the high speeds they are designed to go up to, downhill. As the camry doesn't have the sheer mass of an F150 it doesn't need much brake power to stop at speed on an incline. It's also not what you'd call a performance vehicle, so you'd expect things to be a bit weedier compared to a brute like the f150. Better comparing to cars in it's own class.

Tires are the only part of your car that touch the road and can translate all that design and engineering in the car. I always get the best tire I can afford. Nice to know you do not have to break the bank to get good tire performance.

Remember that UTQG ratings are manufacture specific, meaning that you can not accurately compare UTQG from one tire manufacturer to another since they all have different internal benchmarks. For instance, a Michelin 700 A A and a Nexen 700 A A can have the same UTQG ratings but different longevity and wet traction capabilities. Tests like this AAA test are the only way to have an accurate measurement across brands.

Nate H true true. I was getting more at, let's say, a 200 vs 500 UTQG. Even though these ratings are manufacturer specific and are (more or less) comparing apples to oranges, a 200 from one manufacturer vs a 500 from another will give you a good idea that the 200 should perform better in the corners. Yes the 200 could just be a terrible tire, but most likely it's gonna be pretty sticky compared to the 500. But the 500 is gonna last longer. So it's all up to what you're looking for.
