When it comes time to replace your tires, it pays to know what is currently on your vehicle and to learn about your options. In most cases, you'll want similar replacements, matching the size and speed rating. From there, you can use the ratings to find models that excel in the areas that may matter most to you, such as braking, handling, ride comfort, and noise.

They are for drivers who want year-round traction, long tread wear, and a comfortable ride. Toilet Tank Lid EbayBut all-season tires typically lack the precise handling and grip of performance tires.Elkay Vessel Faucets Speed ratings: None, S (112 mph), T (118 mph)Newborn Ginger Kittens For Sale Treadwear warranty: None or 40,000 to 100,000 miles Typical wheel size: 14 to 18 inches All Season Tire Ratings Performance All-Season Car Tires Performance all-season tires provide year-round grip tuned for enthusiastic driving. They have a higher speed rating than standard all-season tires, and they generally provide better handling and braking than regular all-seasons.

Speed ratings: H (130 mph), V (149 mph) Treadwear warranty: None or 40,000 to 80,000 miles Typical wheel size: 15 to 20 inches Performance All-Season Car Tire Ratings All season and summer ultra-high performance tires are commonly fitted to upscale sedans or sporty vehicles. All season UHP tires are designed to provide good handling and responsive steering in wet and dry conditions, but the tread wear and ride comfort are common compromises. Summer UHP tires are not intended for cold weather and won't grip in snowy or icy conditions. All-season versions may compromise some dry and wet grip to gain winter traction. Speed ratings: ZR (more than 149 mph), W (168 mph), Y (186 mph) Treadwear warranty: None or 30,000 to 60,000 miles Typical wheel size: 17 to 22 inches Ultra-High Performance Tire Ratings All-season truck tires are designed for the heavy loads an SUV or pickup can move. These are well-rounded tires designed to perform well in most conditions.

Speed ratings: S (112 mph), T (118 mph), and H (130 mph) Treadwear warranty: None or 40,000 to 80,000 miles. Typical wheel size: 15 to 22 inches. All-Season Truck Tire Ratings Engineered for more heavy-duty applications, all-terrain truck tires are suitable for use on paved roads and light off-road use. The more rugged tread is designed to provide added traction on unpaved and snowy roads. Speed ratings: S (112 mph) for many. Treadwear warranty: None or 50,000 to 60,000 miles. Typical wheel size: 15 to 20 inches. All-Terrain Truck Tire Ratings Winter/snow offer superior grip to go, stop, and corner in cold, inclement weather. But they typically have faster treadwear than all-season tires because the tread is specifically designed to bite into snow and ice, and the rubber is formulated to stay pliable at freezing temperatures. Also winter/snow tires generally stop longer than all-season tires on cleared roads. We test winter/snow tires suited to cars, performance winter/snow tires for sports cars, and truck winter/snow tires for pickups and SUV

Speed ratings: Q (99mph) and higher Treadwear warranty: None for most Typical wheel size: 14 to 22 inches Performance winter/snow tires come in sizes to fit cars using UHP all-season and summer tires, in other seasons, providing improved cold-weather grip. Speed ratings: H (130 mph) and higher Typical wheel size: 17 to 20 inches Performance Winter/Snow Tire Ratings Truck winter/snow tires are specifically designed for pickups and SUVs. Like car winter/snow tires, always use truck winter/snow tires in a set of four for optimum grip to go, stop, and corner. Treadwear warranty: Typically none Truck Winter/Snow Tire Ratings A treadwear grade is found on most new tires. But that treadwear grade is a comparative tool, and it does not tell in miles how long any one tire might last. Further, manufacturers use different methodologies in making treadwear mileage claims, which in turn makes comparing tire mileages across tire brands challenging.

Consumer Reports provides a comparative tread life mileage figure in our Tire Ratings chart, offering projected mileage of all-season and performance all-season car tires. The predicted mileage is based on our test where we run tires on our rigorous vehicle treadwear test around the clock, over 1,000 miles a day. Car and truck tires are run to 16,000 miles and faster-wearing ultra-high performance tires to 12,000 miles. You can check our Tire Ratings for details. Treadwear coverage will be expanded to ultra-high performance and truck tires in future tests. Proof: Fast center wear Proof: Fast shoulder wear Proof: Fast wear on one side of the tire Proof: Even wear across tire Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) have been standard equipment in all new cars since model year 2008. Since their introduction, government studies have found that TPMS has led to a significant reduction in under-inflated tires on the road, benefiting fuel economy and safety.

The federal requirement stipulates that the car be able to monitor the pressure and alert the driver when it drops significantly, but it does not specify the technology. Many wheels are fitted with sensors that monitor the pressure and sends the data wirelessly to the car’s instrument panel. These systems, called direct TPMS, may require batteries that must be replaced after several years, often leading to replacing the entire sensor. Some just alert of pressure loss with a warning light, but better systems provide a read out of the pressure in the tires. Indirect TPMS systems rely on the antilock brake systems to measure wheel speed and interpret the pressure. These systems don’t use pressure sensors and therefore can not display pressure. Tires have a wealth of information encoded on their sidewalls. When replacing them, we recommend staying with the size and speed rating of your car’s original tires. Check your owner’s manual for more information. Size: On the tire below, “215” is the cross-section width in millimeters;

60 is the ratio of sidewall height to its width (60 percent); R indicates radial-ply construction; and 16 is the wheel rim’s diameter in inches. Load index: Shorthand for the weight each tire can carry safely. The 94 here means 1,477 pounds per tire—pretty typical for a midsized car tire. That’s the maximum tire load. Speed rating: A letter denoting the tire’s maximum speed when carrying the load defined by the load index—and not how fast you should drive! Standard all-seasons are usually rated S (112 mph) or T (118 mph). Climbing up the scale are the letters H (130 mph), V (149 mph), ZR (149+ mph), W (168 mph), and Y (186 mph). Winter tires may carry the letter Q (99 mph) or higher. Treadwear grade: A government-required number that indicates a tire’s expected wear. A grade of 300 denotes a tire that will wear three times as well as a tire graded 100. But the numbers are assigned by tire manufacturers, not an independent third party. Traction and temperature scores: Those scores denote a tire’s wet-stopping ability and temperature resistance.

For traction, AA is best, C is worst. For temperature resistance, scores range from A (best) to C. Manufacture date code: Every tire has a Department of Transportation (DOT) number following the letters on the sidewall. The last four digits determine the week and year the tire was made; for example, the digits 2315 would signify that the tire was made during the 23rd week of 2015. Don't buy tires more than a couple of years old. Longer-lasting tires make safety checks more critical than ever. Many of today’s tires last 50,000 miles or more before they wear out, though heat, environment, potholes, and under-inflation can weaken them. Keep Your Tires Safe: •    Check the air pressure each month when the tires are cold (before they've been driven more than a couple of miles). Be sure that they're inflated to the air pressures listed on the placard on the doorjamb or inside the glove compartment or fuel-filler door. Don’t use the pressure on the tire’s sidewall, that’s the maximum pressure for the tire.
