Every rolling vehicle needs tires, and the companies in this category make them for passenger cars, light and commercial trucks, buses, motorcycles, farm and construction machinery and aircraft. A tire combines rubber compounds, steel and fabric cords, and a tread design engineered for traction, wear and handling in particular conditions. Many tire companies sell under several brand names and supply both original equipment and replacement markets.
Match the tire to the vehicle and the job; that is where most fleet managers, dealers and distributors start. Size, load rating and speed rating must fit the application, and tread design should suit the climate and roads, whether that calls for all-season, winter, highway or off-road use. Tires sold for road use in the United States carry a DOT code, and buyers should confirm that products meet the requirements for their intended use. Tread life, warranty coverage, retreadability for commercial tires, local distributor availability and how the manufacturer handles recalls and claims are also worth comparing.
The tire companies below are listed by name, many linked to their websites. Placement does not rank them, and being included is not an endorsement; check specifications and ratings with the manufacturer. Tire makers that are not listed, or whose listing needs an update, can ask for one.
