Every rated 38x15.50R18 tire, by season

Ranked by our Relative score, weighed against how many reviews and tests stand behind it.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, it uses that one.
Ranking
A score backed by only a few reviews or tests is pulled toward the typical score before ranking, so a 95 from a dozen reviews can rank below a 92 from hundreds.
