At SimpleTire, we took a little time and rounded up some of the best Jeep Compass tires using SimpleScore, including all-season, all-weather and all-terrain tire choices. So without further delay, let’s get in there and take a closer look:
1. Goodyear Assurance MaxLife - Best All-Season tire
First up is the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife, a versatile tire that’s perfect for year-round traction along with stellar performance. It’s a tire that’s designed to deliver the kind of value and quality that drivers have come to expect with the Goodyear brand. The Assurance MaxLife is aptly named – it’s designed with Goodyear’s TredLife system, for durability and long service life. That’s all thanks to robust internal construction and an advanced, long-wearing tread compound. Goodyear covers the Assurance MaxLife with a phenomenal 85,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty – which is enough for SimpleTire to assign a SimpleScore of 9.9 for longevity. A solid center rib enhances steering response, with semi-closed shoulders, sticky tread formula and a polyamide reinforcement layer, all of which add up to a SimpleScore of 9.5 for handling. Year-round grip comes from a network of sipes with circumferential grooves, angled and lateral grooves, working together as a system to resist hydroplaning and deliver confident cornering in wet or dry weather, bringing home a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction.
2. Bridgestone Weatherpeak - Best All-Weather tire
The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is another strong contender here. This is an all-weather tire; in case you’re new to that term, all-weather tires are designed with much of the same performance in mind as with all-season tires, but specifically for improved traction in winter weather when all-season tires often can’t get the job done. The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service, with tests indicating stopping distances that are 30 feet shorter than the competition in winter weather. Bridgestone put particular care into the design of the sipes on the Weatherpeak (sipes are hair-thin slits in the tread that enhance traction with thousands of biting edges). It’s designed with full-depth 3D sipes that actually retain their effectiveness as the tread wears down, and “snow vices” that retain snow and use it for friction and snow-on-snow contact. All that put together is enough for a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. Those tread features and the tread compound are also designed for excellent road manners, steering response and cornering ability, for a SimpleScore of 9.5 for handling. We also gave this tire a SimpleScore of 9.8 for longevity – Bridgestone covers the Weatherpeak with a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, which is pretty hard to beat.
3. General Altimax RT45 - Great All-Season tire
Now we come to the General Altimax RT45. The Altimax RT45 might be at a lower price point, but don’t let that fool you. This is a tire that’s at home in all kinds of weather conditions, with a proven all-season tread design, and General stands behind the Altimax RT45 with either a 65,000 or 75,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty (depending on tire size). That’s enough for a SimpleScore of an outstanding 9.9 for longevity. You can count on the Altimax RT45 to deliver year-round traction, great ride comfort, good road manners, low noise, and predictable, consistent handling and braking performance (SimpleScore for traction: 9.0). With a solid center rib for enhanced steering response and a network of sipes and lateral grooves, we give the Altimax RT45 a SimpleScore of 8.7 for handling. The Altimax RT45 is also equipped with visual alignment indicators to alert a driver to wheel alignment that’s out of spec, and the words “Replace Tire” molded into the tread to display when tread depth reaches a minimum of 2/32”. Select sizes of the Altimax RT45 are available with a great-looking outlined white letter sidewall.
4: GT Radial Maxtour LX - Good all-season tire
Last but not least, there’s the GT Radial Maxtour LX an all-season grand touring tire that punches far above its weight class with outstanding value and performance. Along with its circumferential grooves, the Maxtour LX features additional shoulder channels that help evacuate water to resist hydroplaning (SimpleScore for traction: 9.10). It's tread pitch is harmonically optimized to cancel out frequencies and keep road noise to a minimum and its sharp, responsive handling, cornering performance, and braking on wet or dry roads come from an asymmetric all-season tread (SimpleScore for handling: 8.7). The GT Radial Maxtour LX is protected by a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, a far better warranty than most tires at this price point, racking up a great 9.9 SimpleScore for longevity.
