Continental

Continental might be a surprising name on this list of affordable tire brands but their reputation for long-lasting tires has earned them a place. A Continental tire will last much longer than your typical value tire. Fewer and more infrequent replacements means money saved in the long run, so if you can make a Continental work with your budget – we recommend it!

Continental tires have:

• Superior ride comfort, handling, safety, and wear

• Top customer and independent ratings

• Excellent dry and wet traction

• Robust mileage warranties

• Total Confidence Plan warranty

• Frequent big sales and promotions

• America's Tire exclusive ControlContact line of tires

If you want a similar product but still need the lower pricepoint, check out Continental’s subsidiary, General Tires. The all-weather General Altimax 365AW is a big hit!

Bridgestone

Like Continental, Bridgestone has a long history of manufacturing premium tires for the masses. With esteemed quality and technological advancements, they produce long-lasting, durable products.

• Highly regarded tire families (Potenza, Turanza, Dueler)

Still need a lower price? The all-weather WeatherPeak is an excellent option with a 70k mile warranty and serious snow capability.

Michelin

Perhaps every driver’s idea of a premium tire brand, Michelin’s offerings are exemplary. Being a global tire giant has its advantages – Michelin tires go on sale perhaps more than any other brand (and for longer periods) so they are more readily accessible to a wider range of budgets.

Michelin tires offer:

• A comprehensive tire catalog

• Less expensive subsidiary brands (such as Uniroyal)

• Michelin Promise Plan

• Respectably sized mileage warranties

• Made in American production plants (South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama)
