How Our AI Tire Finder Works
Finding the right tires for Colorado roads shouldn't require a degree in automotive engineering. Our AI tire assistant uses your vehicle details and driving habits to recommend tires ranked by performance per dollar—not by brand markup or commission. Just tell us what you drive, how you drive, and your budget. We'll handle the rest.
1. Share Your Vehicle
Tell us your year, make, and model—or just describe your vehicle in plain English. Our AI understands "2019 Honda Accord" just as well as "silver sedan, about 5 years old."
2. Describe Your Driving
Highway commuter hitting I-25 daily? Weekend warrior on I-70 to the mountains? City driver who rarely leaves Denver? Your driving style shapes our recommendations.
3. Get Recommendations
Receive tire options from our inventory, ranked by value. See real prices with installation included—no hidden fees, no surprises at checkout.

Common Questions Our AI Helps With
What size tires fit my car?
Tell us your vehicle and we'll show you the exact sizes that fit, including OEM and plus-size options for a sportier look or better handling.
Do I need winter tires in Colorado?
It depends on your driving. If you stay in Denver, good all-seasons may suffice. If you hit I-70 to ski areas, dedicated winter tires with the snowflake symbol make a real difference in safety.
What's the best tire for my budget?
We rank tires by value, not price. A mid-range tire with excellent treadwear often beats a cheap tire you'll replace twice as often. Our AI factors in long-term cost.
When should I replace my tires?
When tread depth hits 4/32" for all-season tires or 5/32" for winter tires. Also if you see uneven wear, sidewall damage, or the tires are over 6 years old regardless of tread.
Tire Categories We Recommend
Our AI understands the differences between tire types and matches them to your driving needs. Here are the main categories we work with:
All-Season Tires
The most popular choice for Denver drivers. Good year-round performance in dry, wet, and light snow conditions. Brands like Michelin Defender, Continental TrueContact, and Goodyear Assurance offer excellent treadwear warranties.
Winter/Snow Tires
Essential for mountain driving and Colorado's traction law compliance. Soft rubber compounds stay flexible below 45°F. Look for the 3-peak mountain snowflake symbol. Bridgestone Blizzak and Michelin X-Ice are top performers.
Performance Tires
For sports cars and driving enthusiasts who want maximum grip and handling response. Trade-off is typically shorter tread life and less comfort. Great options include Michelin Pilot Sport and Continental ExtremeContact.
All-Terrain Tires
Popular for trucks and SUVs in Colorado. Balance on-road comfort with off-road capability. BF Goodrich KO2 and Falken Wildpeak are favorites among our customers who explore mountain trails.
Understanding Tire Ratings
Our AI explains these ratings so you can make informed decisions:
- UTQG Treadwear: A comparative rating where higher numbers mean longer-lasting tread. A 600 rating should last twice as long as a 300 rating under similar conditions.
- UTQG Traction: Rated AA, A, B, or C for wet braking performance. Most quality tires are A or AA rated.
- UTQG Temperature: Heat resistance rated A, B, or C. A-rated tires handle sustained highway speeds better.
- Load Index: How much weight each tire can safely carry. Important for trucks and vehicles that haul heavy loads.
- Speed Rating: Maximum safe speed for the tire. H (130 mph), V (149 mph), W (168 mph) are common for passenger vehicles.
Colorado-Specific Tire Considerations
Living and driving in Colorado presents unique challenges that our AI assistant understands deeply. Here's what makes tire selection different in the Centennial State:
Elevation Changes and Tire Pressure
Driving from Denver (5,280 ft) to Eisenhower Tunnel (11,158 ft) means nearly 6,000 feet of elevation gain. This causes tire pressure to increase by about 1-2 PSI. Conversely, driving from the mountains back down to Denver can leave your tires underinflated. Our AI recommends checking tire pressure before and after mountain trips, and we suggest tires that maintain consistent performance across pressure variations.
Temperature Swings
Colorado can see 40-50 degree temperature swings in a single day. A morning that starts at 25°F can reach 65°F by afternoon. All-season tires need to perform well across this entire range. Our AI factors in Colorado's extreme temperature variability when recommending tires, favoring compounds that stay flexible in cold mornings but don't get too soft in warm afternoons.
Road Surface Variety
Within a single commute, you might encounter freshly paved highway, cracked city streets, gravel shoulders, and construction zones. Colorado roads also suffer from frost heaves and potholes from freeze-thaw cycles. We recommend tires with reinforced sidewalls for pothole protection and tread patterns that handle varied surfaces without excessive wear.
UV Exposure at Altitude
Colorado's high altitude means more UV exposure, which accelerates tire aging. Even tires with plenty of tread can become unsafe if the rubber has degraded from sun exposure. Our AI considers tire age and recommends replacement for tires over 6 years old, regardless of tread depth. We also suggest parking in shade when possible and using tire dressings that provide UV protection.
Popular Tire Searches We Handle
Our AI assistant helps thousands of Denver drivers find the right tires. Here are some of the most common requests we handle:

"Best all-terrain tires for my Ford F-150 under $200 each"
