Here at SimpleTire, our team has gone through the catalog and determined some great tire options for a Ford Maverick, including all-season, all-terrain, and winter tires, and put them in Best/Great/Good rankings. We then used our SimpleScore system to look at reviews and other data points and assign a numerical value for traction, handling, and longevity for each one. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:
1. Nokian Nordman 9 SUV: Best Winter tire
You’d naturally associate Finland with rough winter weather, and you’d naturally expect any tire manufacturer that’s based there to have some expertise in developing tires that can handle the demands of Scandinavian winters. You probably don’t live in Finland yourself, but if you have to get through rough winter driving conditions every year you should think about the Nokian Nordman 9 SUV. Nokian is a Finland-based tire maker (yes, the same parent company that makes Nokia phones) and they have extensive experience in what a tire needs to be able to safely navigate snow-covered roads. The Nordman 9 SUV is a tire that can safely handle the most difficult conditions that winter weather can dish out. Its winter tread compound is designed to stay flexible so it can deliver the grip you need in sub-freezing conditions. Winter traction comes from a network of deep grooves and strategically placed sipes, multiplying traction to dig in and chew its way through snow and slush. Additionally, the Nordman 9 SUV is pre-drilled for easy installation of studs and a stud pattern that’s strategically placed to give you the traction you need to safely get across the slipperiest icy roads with confidence. NOTE: studded tires are not legal in all states and are restricted to certain months of the year in states where they are legal – check your state laws to be sure.
With an average SimpleScore of 9.2, the Nordman 9 SUV excels in longevity (9.1) and traction (9.7) while also offering handling (8.7).
While these are the best Ford Maverick tires on the market, there are plenty of other options to consider:
2. Yokohama Avid Ascend LX: Great All-Season tire
Here at SimpleTire, we’ve been fans of quite a few tires from Yokohama for a long time and the Yokohama Avid Ascend LX is no exception. The Avid Ascend LX’s year-round grip comes from a network of circumferential grooves, lateral grooves, angled grooves, and wavy 3D sipes for year-round grip, enough for a SimpleScore of 8.6 for traction. Treadwear properties are a real strength of the Avid Ascend LX; it features a contact patch that’s optimized for more even treadwear and distribution of vehicle weight, along with Yokohama’s L-2 polymer blend tread compound for wear resistance. The Avid Ascend LX’s 85,000 mile warranty is best-in-class – we give the Avid Ascend LX a 9.7 for longevity. All those tread features (along with large, reinforced shoulder blocks and a solid center rib) come together as a system to provide steering response that’s crisp and immediate, predictable cornering and great braking – we give the Yokohama Avid Ascend LX a SimpleScore of 8.7 for traction.
