Best tires
Michelin CrossClimate2 in 235/65R18: the top pick for Traverse owners. Family haulers benefit from the 3PMSF winter capability, strong wet grip, and the long tread life (keeping replacement costs down over years of family use).
Continental CrossContact LX25: excellent wet grip and fuel efficiency. The Traverse's mass means fuel economy benefits are proportionally meaningful.
Michelin Defender LTX M/S: for maximum tread life — the best choice for families who accumulate miles quickly and want the longest service life.
Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack: the quietest choice — for Traverse owners who prioritize passenger comfort over long highway trips.
