two brands had top marks for satisfaction among all-season tires: Michelin and Vredestein. Significantly, 10 all-season tire brands were given our lowest rating.
• The all-terrain tire category was judged to be more satisfying, with 11 of 26 brands found by owners to have favorable satisfaction.
• Satisfaction is widely distributed among the winter/snow tire category, with four brands receiving the highest ratings
Uniroyal was rated at the bottom of Consumer Reports' recent ranking of the most satisfying All-Season tire brands, though several other budget offerings were also listed in the red for the same category.
Unfortunately it also landed last in customer satisfaction when it comes to its Winter/Snow tire offerings.
Sumitomo, Kelly, Hercules, GT Radial, Dunlop, and, BF Goodrich were also rated red by unsatisfied customers in that category.
In the Summer tire category, Sumitomo was the worst rated tire for customer satisfaction, with the budget brand making the unfortunate claim of being at, or very near the bottom of the list in all four categories surveyed for the Consumer Reports rankings.
In the All-Terrain category, Sumitomo earned the lowest marks for customer satisfaction.
Michelin Tires fared the best on the Consumer Reports satisfaction list, and earned the highest rating in all four categories surveyed.
It was the only manufacturer to claim that honor.
However, the European tire brand Vredestein was also rated well in all categories, earning light green marks in the All-Season, Winter/Snow, and Summer tire categories, and a dark green rating in the All-Terrain sector.
