1. Cooper Cobra Radial GT - Best All-Season tire

Let’s get this list going with a tire that looks fantastic on a variety of vintage rides and muscle cars, the Cooper Cobra Radial GT. Cooper Tire is one of America’s most venerated tire manufacturers, with well over a century in the business, and they bring all that expertise and experience to the game for the Cobra Radial GT. In SimpleScore rankings, the Cooper Cobra Radial GT gets scores of 8.2 for traction, 8.1 for handling, and 8.3 for longevity, with a composite SimpleScore of 8.2. Cooper designed the Cobra Radial GT as an aftermarket tire for muscle cars and high-performance classics, with a raised white letter sidewall for a period-correct look on select sizes. The tread design of the Cobra Radial GT features a notched center rib that promotes great road manners as well as helping to manage even wear. Along with an optimized footprint that maximizes the rubber in contact with the road for better weight distribution and an advanced long-wearing tread compound, Cooper covers the Cobra Radial GT with a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. Cornering, braking, and steering response are all predictable and precise thanks to notched reinforced shoulders and an internal design that includes a nylon casing, two steel belts, and two low-stretch polyester ply layers. Year-round traction is also a real plus, with wide circumferential grooves and angled lateral grooves that evacuate water and slush from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning. All in all, the Cooper Cobra Radial GT is a great period-correct way to keep your car’s classic looks along with updated performance and design.

A great, affordable all-season tire, the General Altimax RT45 is a tire that beats expectations and can punch far above its weight class. It’s a superb choice in an all-season tire, ready for all kinds of weather conditions with a proven all-season tread design, and General Tire covers the Altimax RT45 with either a 65,000 or 75,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty (depending on tire size). We looked at the reviews, ran the numbers, and gave the Altimax RT45 a SimpleScore of an outstanding 9.9 for longevity. Drivers can depend on the Altimax RT45 to deliver year-round traction, a forgiving ride, low noise, and handling and braking performance that is predictable and consistent (SimpleScore for traction: 9.0). The Altimax RT45 registers a SimpleScore of 8.7 for handling, thanks to a network of sipes and lateral grooves and a solid center rib that boosts road manners and steering response. Another nice feature of this tire is the visual alignment indicators that gives drivers a heads-up to excessive wear or wheel alignment that’s out of spec. The words “Replace Tire” are molded into the tread and are only revealed when the tread depth reaches a minimum of 2/32”. Select sizes of the Altimax RT45 are available with a great-looking outlined white letter sidewall.

2. Hankook Kinergy ST (H735) - Great All-Season tire

The Kinergy ST (H735) is covered by a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. The Kinergy ST’s tread pattern includes tie bars that enhance the tread’s rigidity by linking groove structures and tread blocks together, resisting the tread deformation and squirm that can come from the G-forces and inertia of cornering. A solid center rib helps boost straight-line road manners at highway speed as well as delivering steering response that’s immediate and sharp. Year-round grip is enhanced with a dense network of sipes that multiply traction with hundreds of sharp biting edges. There’s also a set of wide circumferential grooves and lateral grooves that channel standing water away and behind the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning. The Kinergy ST (H735)’s tread pattern is also randomized and computer-tuned to negate certain frequencies and resonances for a quiet and comfortable ride. Select sizes of the Kinergy ST (H735) are also available with a great-looking raised white letter sidewall.
