TireRack touring tire test 2024

[MyWifesBoyfriend]

Ten GT all season tires tested on a new 2025 Toyota Camry. The scoring is in the video but not published on the website for some reason.

My 2 cents:
*** When new.
Most of those 2nd tier tires start to noticeably deteriorate after a few years of age hardening and wear.

Falken has stepped up their game considerably in the last 5+ years.. But a half worn one likely isn't close to a half worn michelin or continential..
if comparing similar tires.

Those Sincera sn250 are an interesting budget option as they are priced well.. but average or below in winter..

Not saying tire rack is doing anything wrong but it is hard to test all metrics of tires.

You cant tell me anyone with braincells really thinks a falken sincera sn250 is that much better than a michelin defender 2.

but there is no easy way to figure out how much performance is retained after 3 years on the road either.

I like to do tire comparisons on Tire Rack but would only potentially include about half of those ever. And my usual top choices would likely handily beat any of those. But they're definitely fun and interesting.

Amazing how poorly the Michelin's are rated.
Conti doesn't even make the list!

I missed the wet stopping distance and lateral grip and can't edit the original post. I really hope they update the test report on the website with the results

Indeed. I was also hoping to see the new Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 in this test.

Also seems like the competition has caught up to General and the RT45 isn't the same darling that the RT43s were.

These are all low-ish end tires by virtue of the category. Probably not a focus I guess. Conti and Michelin dominate most other categories.
