Research Review: APA’s Top Winter Tire Picks For 2021-2022
To identify the top winter tire brands, APA researchers conducted more than 30 independent tire tests on their icy winter track in Montreal, Quebec. The research team used 225/65R17 size tires, which is the most popular size on the North American market, and the tests graded each winter tire on:

- Tire noise
- Ride comfort on a variety of surfaces, including hardpack, loose snow, ice, and dry and wet pavement on secondary roads and highways
