Oldsmobile Achieva Tires

Here at SimpleTire, our team has gone through the catalog and picked out the best Oldsmobile Achieva tires, including all-season and winter tires. Then, using our SimpleScore system, we assigned a numerical rating for the categories of traction, handling, and longevity for each tire. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:

1. Firestone Firehawk A/S: Best All-Season tire

Let’s get this list going with our pick for an all-season tire that’s designed for UHP levels of handling and performance with Grand Touring ride quality and noise levels, the Firestone Firehawk A/S. The Firehawk A/S is covered with a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty from Firestone, with one- or two-ply polyester casing, steel belt package, and nylon cap overlay for excellent durability and stability. That, along with Firestone’s Long Link Carbon silica-enriched rubber compound, is enough for us to register the Firehawk A/S with a SimpleScore of 8.5 for longevity. The Firehawk A/S is eager for some enthusiastic driving too, with a sidewall and tread area that offer the rigidity to resist tread squirm and stand up to the forces of cornering and braking – we give the Firestone Firehawk A/S a SimpleScore of 8.6 for handling. Year-round grip is first-rate with an asymmetric all-season tread with a combination of angled and circumferential grooves, a pattern of closely-packed sipes, and notched shoulders for a SimpleScore of 8.5 for traction.

2. Yokohama Avid Ascend LX: Best All-Season tire

Here at SimpleTire, pretty much everything from Yokohama has been making a good impression on us and the Avid Ascend LX is no exception. The Avid Ascend LX delivers excellent grip year-round and gets a SimpleScore of 8.6 for traction with a system of circumferential grooves, lateral grooves, and angled grooves. Treadwear properties are excellent with the Yokohama Avid Ascend LX; it’s engineered with Yokohama’s L-2 polymer blend tread compound for wear resistance and a wider, flatter footprint that encourages long, even treadwear with improved distribution of vehicle weight. For any tire it’s hard to beat an 85,000 mile warranty – 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) work together for short braking distances, confident cornering, and steering response that’s sharp and correct – we give the Avid Ascend LX a SimpleScore of 8.7 for traction.

3. Nokian Nordman 9 SUV: Best Winter tire

Chances are when you think about Finland, you think about tough winter weather, and you’d naturally expect any tire manufacturer that’s based there to have considerable expertise in making tires that can handle the demands of Scandinavian winters. You probably don’t live in Finland yourself, but the Nokian Nordman 9 SUV is a tire to think about if you have to get through rough winter driving conditions every year. Nokian is a Finland-based manufacturer (yes, the same parent company that makes Nokia phones) and has put a lot of R&D into determining what a tire needs to be able to safely navigate snow-covered roads. The Nordman 9 is a tire that’s dependable and capable in the most difficult conditions that winter weather can dish out. Its winter tread compound is designed to stay flexible in subfreezing conditions so it can deliver the grip you need. Winter traction comes from deep grooves and a network of strategically placed sipes that add hundreds of biting edges, multiplying the tire’s surface area and traction to dig in and chew their way through snow and slush. Additionally, the Nordman 9 SUV is pre-drilled for easy installation of studs, with a pattern that’s strategically placed to give you the traction you need to get around on 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 Studded excels in longevity (9.1) and traction (9.7) while also offering handling (8.7).

These are the best Oldsmobile Achieva tires on the market today, but we’re not going to stop there. Here are some other tires that are worthy of your consideration:

4. Kumho Solus TA51A: Great All-Season tire

Next up on our list is the Kumho Solus TA51A, a premium all-season tire. We’ve been consistently impressed with every product from this South Korean tire manufacturer, and the Solus TA51A is no exception. The Solus TA51A is covered by a 65,000 mile warranty and gets an excellent SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity, with its silica-rich tread compound, polyester casing, twin steel belts, and two-ply nylon cap layer. With a SimpleScore of 8.4, traction is another real strength with this tire – the Solus TA51A features an asymmetric tread pattern with a high density of 3D sipes for improved grip in wet or wintry conditions and four wide circumferential grooves to evacuate water and resist hydroplaning. During cornering or other sharp maneuvers, the 3D chamfered edges of the Solus TA51A’s tread blocks help resist deformation and keep the most rubber in contact with the pavement, for a SimpleScore of 8.6 for handling.

5. Nexen N’Priz AH8: Good All-Season tire

Let’s close out this list with the Nexen N’Priz AH8, a performance-oriented all-season tire that comes in at an affordable price point, making it a great pick for an Oldsmobile Achieva. Nexen designed the N’Priz AY8 with a wear-resistant silica-enhanced rubber formulation and extra tread depth. Nexen is confident enough to back this tire with a 70,000 mile warranty – which is enough for us to give the N’Priz AH8 a SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity. A SimpleScore of 8.4 for traction comes from an all-season tread design and dense network of sipes as well as that extra-deep tread depth. We’re also favorably impressed with this tire’s handling, with stable internal construction, the stickier silica-rich rubber formulation, and a tread design that all help to deliver great cornering, braking, road manners, and steering response. For such immediate, accurate handling, we noted a SimpleScore of 8.8.
