At SimpleTire, we’ve put together some of the best choices in premium all-season, all-weather and winter tires for your Hyundai Palisade using SimpleScore. While some models of the Palisade are equipped with 4WD, it’s primarily a highway vehicle so we omitted all-terrain options. Without further delay, let’s get into the best Hyundai Palisade tires:
1. Goodyear Assurance MaxLife - Best All-Season Tire
First up we have the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife, an all-season tire that’s a perfect choice for superb performance along with year-round traction. It’s a tire that’s designed around delivering the value and quality that drivers have come to expect from a product with the Goodyear brand. First off, the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife is aptly named – it’s designed for durability and long, even wear with Goodyear’s TredLife system. You can chalk that up to robust internal construction and an advanced, rubber formulation that delivers a long service life. SimpleScore assigns a longevity score of 9.9 to this tire, especially considering that Goodyear stands by the Assurance MaxLife with a phenomenal 85,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. A solid center rib is designed for great road manners and 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. A network of sipes deliver year-round grip, with circumferential grooves, angled and lateral grooves that all work as a system to resist hydroplaning and deliver confident cornering in wet or dry weather. That’s enough for a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction.
2. Bridgestone Weatherpeak - Best All-Weather Tire
Our choice for best all-weather tire is the Bridgestone Weatherpeak, another excellent option for the Hyundai Palisade. In case the term is new to you, all-weather tires are designed with much of the same performance in mind as with all-season tires, but they’re targeted more toward improved winter traction for conditions when all-season tires often just aren’t up to the job. The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is dense with sipes, hair-thin slits in the tread that chew through snow and slush with hundreds of extra biting edges. These sipes are a full-depth 3D design that actually stay effective even as the tread wears down, along with “snow vices” that develop friction by actually trapping snow for snow-to-snow contact. That’s enough to be certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service, with tests that indicate stopping distances that are 30 feet shorter than the competition in winter weather. Put all of that together, and you come up with a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. Those tread features and the tread compound are also designed for top notch 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’s tread life warranty, the kind of warranty that’s hard to beat on any kind of tire.
3. Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV - Best Winter Tire
Now we come to our winter tire pick for the Hyundai Palisade: the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV. Nokian is a Finnish company that knows all about the demands of making a tire for the harsh Scandinavian winter (“Hakkapeliitta” is Finnish for their 16th century cavalry troops, just in case you were wondering about that). At SimpleTire the Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV has made an impression on us for some time – it’s pre-drilled for easy installation of studs in case of severe snow and ice (check your local and state laws for legality of studded tires), and it has a stud pattern that’s optimized to keep noise to a minimum while delivering the best traction possible. Its winter tread is designed with angled, sweeping grooves, a dense pattern of sipes and a sticky, flexible winter rubber formulation for the worst snow and slush, bringing in a SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction. It probably goes without saying that this tire gets the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service. An Aramid-reinforced sidewall, tough internal construction, and an eco-friendly tread formulation that stays flexible in subfreezing weather all add up to excellent durability (SimpleScore of 9.1 for longevity). We gave this tire an 8.9 for handling, largely owing to stiffer sidewalls that deliver great cornering without affecting ride quality. It's also worth noting that the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV is also designed for low rolling resistance, saving fuel over the tire’s service life.
While these are the best Hyundai Palisade tires on the market, there are plenty of other options out there. Check a few more that stood out to us:
4. Cooper Endeavor Plus - Great All-Season Tire
Cooper is an American tire manufacturer that’s been around for over 100 years, and the Cooper Endeavor Plus is our pick for a great all-season tire. It’s a tire that inspires confidence in wet or light wintry conditions with the right system of circumferential grooves and checkmark channels to direct water away and resist hydroplaning. Sipes and lateral notches complete the package for year-round grip, bringing in a SimpleScore of 9.4 for traction. We’re also impressed by this tire’s cornering, braking and steering response, thanks to its robust internal construction that reduces tread squirm and deformation and its silica-rich tread formulation, so we give this tire a solid 9.2 SimpleScore for handling. With a 65,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, we think this tire is worthy of a SimpleScore of 8.3 for longevity.
5. GT Radial Maxtour LX - Good All-Season Tire
Now we come to the GT Radial Maxtour LX, an all-season tire that punches above its weight class with premium-tire ride quality and UHP-tire performance in an all-season design. Cornering, braking, and steering response come from a combination of a solid center tread rib, stiff shoulder blocks, and an independent tread groove toward the shoulder, meriting a SimpleScore of a solid 9.1 for handling. A combination of sipes, circumferential and lateral/angled grooves deliver great braking and cornering, for a SimpleScore of 9.1 for handling. Wear properties of the GT Radial Maxtour LX are also pretty outstanding; GT Radial covers it with a 70,000 mile tread life warranty, which is enough for us to give it a SimpleScore of 9.4 for longevity. All in all, the GT Radial Maxtour LX delivers great value and performance, with a quiet and forgiving ride and quick, predictable handling.
