How we ranked these tires for the chrysler LHS
We started with the latest model-year's OEM tire size; 225/60R16; and filtered our catalog of 22,000+ tires to those offered in that exact size. From there, four parallel rankings:
- Best all-season ranks on a weighted score: tire type matches passenger car segment, season is "all-season", premium brand bonus (Michelin / Continental / Bridgestone / Pirelli / Goodyear / Nokian).
- Best budget ranks on cost-per-warranty-mile; the lower the better. Premium brands get no bonus here.
- Best quiet ranks on the EU tire-label dB rating; lower is quieter.
- Best winter filters to tires marked 3PMSF severe-snow rated or all-weather class, with a small premium-brand bonus because winter-compound R&D is capital-intensive.
For sedans and compacts, the all-season touring tire below is the best default; long warranty, low cabin noise, reasonable cost per mile. Switch to the quiet pick if highway droning is a deal-breaker; switch to the winter pick if you see significant snow each year. Use the side-by-side comparison above to weigh the trade-offs against your specific driving; highway-heavy, winter-state, performance-oriented, or budget-constrained.

Verbatim excerpts from complaints filed with NHTSA about Chrysler LHS. Reports are published by NHTSA as filed and are lightly cleaned here only to remove intake codes.
DOT #BEXOTU51059 - VIBRATION IN STEERING CAUSED US TO HAVE TIRES BALANCED. THE NEXT DAY, ON THE TURNPIKE, THE VIBRATION & NOISE CAME BACK. SOON AFTER, THE TIRE BLEW OUT. TREAD SEPARATED, BUT DID NOT COME OFF THE TIRE. TREAD DAMAGED FENDERWELL, FENDER, BUMPER, SIDELIGHT & TRIM.
CHRYSLER CROME WHEELS WILL NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES. IT IS A EVERYDAY JOB TO CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES TO BE SURE THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO RESEAL TIRE BEAD AND REBALANCE TIRES. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THE CROME WHEELS ARE DEFECTIVE AND I FEAR I MAY HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF LOST AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES.
