Road Rated tire ratings

Our tire ratings are the result of independent, third-party, professional testing—providing an objective evaluation to help you find the tires that best suit your driving needs.

Test results at a glance

Here's the quickest, easiest way to compare how our tires perform. First, find the type of tire you need. Next, check tire performance when tested under various conditions. While some tires provide better grip on wet roads, others offer excellent fuel economy. Decide what characteristics are most important to you and select your tire based on the scores below. All scores are based on a 100-point scale and are only rated against the other tires in the same category.

How we calculate our testing scores

Our Road Rated program is conducted at world-class testing facilities, by professional drivers, experts in tire testing, and third-party auditors. This ensures a consistent process with objective and unbiased results. We test a representative sample of tires from the Canadian market in different tire categories, from different brands and across various price points. Tires are rated comparatively against the other tires in the same category. We re-test annually as new tires are always emerging, and we want our customers to have current data. Our goal is to help you buy with confidence and select the tire that best suits your driving needs.


Helping you choose the best tire for you

All Road Rated tires are professionally tested for wet- and dry-surface braking and handling, fuel economy and comfort. Winter and All Weather tires are also tested for acceleration and braking on ice and snow. All Terrain tires undergo further testing at a dedicated off-road facility, to evaluate the tire’s ability to maintain traction in mud, sand, gravel, over large rocks and on steep slopes, wet and dry. These ratings will help you compare and select a tire that is best for your vehicle, budget and driving needs.

Wet & Rainy

We perform numerous tests on asphalt tracks that are covered in water to simulate rainy driving conditions. We test for emergency wet braking from highway speeds, measuring the deceleration and stopping distance.  Longitudinal and lateral hydroplaning are also measured—you don’t want the tires to ‘float’ on the water and lose contact with the road. Laps on a wet asphalt circuit allow our professional drivers to assess every aspect of the tire’s ability to maintain traction and stability, accelerating, decelerating, and cornering on wet roads.

Dry

Our drivers test our tires to the limit for braking and handling on dry asphalt and concrete surfaces. We test to see how quickly our tires come to a complete stop when emergency braking from highway speeds. Our drivers also test emergency maneuvers such as sudden lane changes and swerving to avoid obstacles to understand how the tires perform when pushed to the limit on dry roads.

Ice/Snow

Our Winter and All-Weather tires go through a series of rigorous tests for handling, acceleration, and braking in icy and snow-covered conditions. We test braking distance on ice in a specialized temperature and humidity-controlled environment to accurately measure which tires perform best on ice. We do the same acceleration and braking tests on snow. Finally, laps on a snow-packed circuit allow our drivers to assess every aspect of the tire’s ability to maintain traction and stability, accelerating, decelerating and cornering on snow-covered roads.

Off-Road

We put All-Terrain tires through some extreme challenges at an off-road test facility. If they perform well here, we know they'll handle the tough challenges of off-road driving in Canada. Several purpose-built test environments allow evaluators to rate durability, stability, and capability to climb, maintain and regain traction in wet, dry, smooth and rough off-road surfaces from mud and sand to gravel and big boulders.

Lab

We use a standardized lab test for rolling resistance (ISO 28580) to estimate the tire’s impact on fuel economy, helping you understand which tires may save you a little money at the gas pump or extend your range in an electric vehicle (EV).
