There are of course several other notable brands that produce tires for SUVs and light-duty trucks, for instance South Korean manufacturer Hankook (which offers the RW-1 and the I*Pike we included in our guide for winter tires for cars) and Kumbo (its models include the WP71 Wintercraft for performance vehicles like the Range Rover and similar-type SUVs).

Unless you have a very good idea of what winter tire you want on your SUV or pickup truck, we do recommend that you stop in at a dedicated, recognized tire centre to get some valuable advice and guidance. They will very likely be able to suggest to you the precise winter tire type to fit your needs.

A last bit of advice: it’s totally valid to want to seek out the best possible price for your vehicle tires. But remember that winter tires are by definition a compromise choice, and remember as well that your well-being, and those of your passengers, relies on four small points of contact with the road. Each one of those points is scarcely bigger than the palm of your hand!
