Best Affordable Tire Brands

Everyone wants the best deal on tires. But customers hear “cheap” or “value” and assume they’re getting an inferior product to match the price. But tire manufacturers have come a long way and can produce high quality options without those premium prices.

We don’t just stock any tire brand–we stand by our inventory of affordable tires that adhere to the strictest standards of quality and safety. We’ve listed our best affordable tire brands below for your shopping convenience.

Or, you can begin your tire shopping journey with our personalized tire matching system, Treadwell. In no time at all, we’ll match you with the best options for you, your vehicle, and your driving needs.

SENTURY

Sentury Tires has an exclusive line at America's Tire that offers versatile handling and traction at a great value.

This global tire manufacturer offers a range of tire types, including ultra-high performance tires, truck tires, and touring tires. Known for reliable grip, long tread life, noise-reducing tech, and budget pricing, Sentury has a lot to offer.

If you need a dependable tire option on par with higher tier options and the durability to last, you’ll find these tires come in one economical package.

KUMHO

For over half a century, Kumho has been providing quality tires for value-minded drivers. What makes them unique is their devotion to combining design, technical innovation, and driver-driven elements.

Their affordable lineup includes passenger, performance, and light truck tires with impressive levels of braking, steering, and handling. Kumho moved their US headquarters from California to Georgia to better serve their customers and streamline production.

Popular models include the Solus TA51A, a solid touring and all-season option, and the Road Venture A/T 52, a severe weather rated all-terrain tire.

ARIZONIAN

Arizonian tires are exclusively crafted for America's Tire by top manufacturers. The sole aim? To offer drivers quality tires at affordable prices.

With computer optimized tread patterns that deliver low rolling resistance, better fuel economy, and reliably long lasting performance, Arizonian tires have a lot to offer the typical tire buyer. The impressive combo of durability, cost, and tread life makes it one of our most frequently sold tire brands.

The Arizonian Silver Edition All Season is one of our most popular tires of all time thanks to its great price, ample 60,000-mile warranty, and premium performance.

YOKOHAMA

Yokohama has been producing quality tires that outperform expectations for over a century. They entered the US market in the late 60s and quickly became a brand known for reliable and high quality products. Their catalog offers a huge range of tire types, from all-weather tires, thrilling ultra-high performance tires, to adventuring all-terrain tires.

Despite being considered a “mid tier” tire brand, Yokohama has worked to bring all of their tire families in line with premium brands using meticulous engineering and driver-driven elements. Their Geolandar family of all-terrain tires is more than a match for more expensive options. This is obvious with their Geolandar A/T G015 with excellent off-road handling and extreme weather capability.

FALKEN

Falken got its start in 1983 producing high-performance radial tires. Using their expertise in design and performance, they’ve since become a global leader in both motorsports and consumer vehicle tires.

Constantly pursuing a state of perfection, Falken’s success is evident in their catalog which demonstrates design improvements, environmentally sustainable practices, and cutting-edge advancements. Efficiency, durability, and capability categories are all kept in high consideration, which can be seen in the Falken Pro G5 A/S (not coincidentally one of our top-selling tires).

You can find Falken tires for every driving need, from the highway to the off-road trail to the race track.

COOPER

Cooper began in the tire repair business but quickly began manufacturing new tires in the early 20th century. Specializing in the tire replacement market for both cars and trucks, they have become a worldwide company with numerous subsidiaries with specialized tire options. Mickey Thompson is one of the subsidiaries offering extreme off-road performance.

Cooper’s expansive catalog includes passenger vehicle, light truck and SUV, performance, and winter tires. They are known for scoring high marks in service life, control, and reliability. Our customers love the Discoverer ATP II and the Discoverer HTP II.

In 2021, Cooper was bought by well-established tire giant Goodyear, creating even more confidence in the Cooper tire brand.

CONTINENTAL

You might be surprised to see a name like Continental on our list of affordable tire brands, but premium tires have that label for a reason – you can expect only the best levels of performance. It’s hard to put a number on the noticeable superiority of a Continental tire when it comes to ride comfort, handling, safety, and long-lasting wear.

That long-lasting wear is actually a principle reason it’s included here. Continental tires will last you much longer than your typical value tire. Longer wearing tires mean fewer replacements, ultimately saving you money in the long run. This manufacturer is confident in their product, backing it with robust mileage warranties and their Total Confidence Plan.

The America's Tire exclusive ControlContact line of tires is a great place to start. If you want to get a similar product but still need a lower price point, check out Continental’s subsidiary, General Tires. The all-weather General Altimax 365AW is a big hit!

Big brand tires also tend to go on sale more frequently than smaller names, so be on the lookout for great deals. You can check out our promotions pages to see where you can save some serious dough.

BRIDGESTONE

Like Continental, Bridgestone has a long history of manufacturing high quality tire options to the masses (and for a wide variety of applications, too). Their tire’s esteemed quality and technological advancements create an enviable driving experience across the globe.

This premium tire brand will perform better and last longer than its less expensive competition. All of Bridgestone’s tire families (Potenza, Turanza, Dueler, and many more) incorporate elements to boost reliable handling, long-lasting tread, and sustainability. Our customers hold Bridgestone tires in high regard, noting how long these tires stay in service.

The Dueler LX is an all-season and performance tire exclusively available at America's Tire. Customers love the controlled handling and traction, plus the quiet ride. The robust 50-70k-mile warranty is also reassuring. Bridgestone also backs this tire with their Platinum Pact limited warranty program.

If you still need a tire with a lower starting price, then check out Firestone, a subsidiary. With a long storied and rich history of its own, Firestone boasts that their desire is to provide better options for motorists (read: better mileage, better traction, and better drive)! The all-weather capable Weather Grip is an excellent option with severe weather designation, 65k mileage warranty, and serious light snow capability via their Snow Traction Claw™.

MICHELIN

Michelin is perhaps most drivers' idea of a premium tire brand – and it is, their offerings are exemplary – but being a global tire giant is advantageous when it comes to serving its customers. Michelin tires go on sale perhaps more than any other brand (and for longer sales periods), making them more accessible to a wider range of budgets.

Plus, with a comprehensive catalog of tires across all categories (including winter tires) that is supported by a host of subsidiary tire companies, Michelin is a one-stop shop. Most tires, with some category exceptions like performance or summer tires, come with respectably sized mileage warranties and all are covered by the Michelin Promise Plan for even more confidence.

Michelin’s budget brand of tires, Uniroyal, also has a long tire history starting in the 19th century. A trusted American brand, it produces reliable and quality tire options with excellent traction, handling, and longevity for passenger vehicles and trucks. Like its umbrella company, Uniroyal offers nicely sized warranties. Check out the Tiger Paw Touring A/S to start.

Michelin has numerous production plants in the United States, including South Carolina, North Carolina, and Alabama to better supply the American market.
