How to Choose Finalist Tires

Choose Finalist tires by identifying vehicle type first - passenger car, crossover, or SUV/light truck - because the two branches of the lineup carry different load ratings and construction and should not be compared against each other.

• Step 1 - Separate passenger from SUV/light truck: The  Finalist UN108, UN109, and UN-CUV cover passenger cars and crossovers. The  Finalist Terreno HT, A/T, and M/T cover SUVs and light trucks. The size overlap between the two branches does not make them interchangeable.
• Step 2 - Match performance level within passenger tires: UN108 is a high-performance all-season model. UN109 targets everyday touring use. The  Finalist UN-CUV addresses crossover-specific load and handling requirements. Choosing between them comes down to whether performance response or tread life matters more.
• Step 3 - Match terrain to the correct Terreno variant: H/T for highway and paved surfaces, A/T for mixed on- and off-road use, M/T for aggressive off-road and mud conditions. These are not interchangeable by size.

Finalist carries a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty on qualifying models and competes on price in standard all-season replacement. Confirm size availability before ordering - the catalog is narrower than full-line brands.

Finalist is a brand of Unicorn Tire Corporation, a US-based importer established in 2007. Its catalog covers passenger, crossover, SUV, light truck, and specialty trailer categories with a price-first positioning in the replacement market. Volume is highest in compact and midsize passenger sizes, where the UN108 and UN109 models compete on cost and broad vehicle coverage rather than performance credentials. Buyers choosing Finalist for SUV or light truck use should confirm they are selecting from the Terreno family, not the passenger UN models, as load ratings and construction differ between the two branches.

Since Finalist spans passenger, crossover, trailer, and light-truck applications under separate product families, fitment requirements can change substantially even within similar tire sizes. Drivers comparing replacement setups or planning wheel changes can review compatible options through the NeoTires Wheels Section, while the Aftermarket Wheel Fitment Guide breaks down how wheel dimensions, load support, and tire sizing affect clearance, stability, and overall compatibility.
