Best Tires for Dodge Journey
17-inch Options
Below we’ve listed five of our top options for the Dodge Journey. All of them are priced on the high side. Topping our list is the Michelin Defender T+H with its balanced performance, all-season grip and an impressive 80,000 mile warranty. Offering similar long life but at a cheaper price and slightly less engaging handling dynamics is the Continental Control Contact Tour AS Plus. In fact, the Continental Cross Contact LX 25 is closer in keeping with the Michelin’s driving performance but comes with a lower 70,000 mile warranty and the most attractive pricing yet.
The Yokohamas below are actually a nice blend of both Contis, delivering an engaging drive, excellent ride quality and a fair price.
And finally there’s the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady. This unique tire costs significantly more but there’s a reason for it, namely, that it offers full four-season grip and comes rated for true winter capability with the three peak mountain snowflake logo on its sidewall.

Shipping is often included when you purchase tires online. Many retailers offer free shipping if you get your tires shipped to an installer that they recommend. Even if you ship to your home, Tire Rack offers free shipping on purchases over $50. And if you’re buying new tires, that won’t be hard.
