Tires are the only part of your car that touches the road. Choosing the right ones for your vehicle and driving conditions is critical for safety, performance, and fuel efficiency.
Start with the correct tire size. Check the placard on your driver’s door jamb for the manufacturer’s recommended size, load rating, and speed rating. Using the wrong size can affect handling and safety.
There are three main tire categories: all-season, summer, and winter. All-season tires offer balanced performance year-round. Summer tires provide superior grip in warm conditions. Winter tires use softer compounds and deeper tread for snow and ice traction.
Tread pattern matters. Symmetrical patterns are quiet and long-lasting. Directional patterns excel at water evacuation. Asymmetric patterns offer a combination of dry handling and wet performance.
Don’t forget about tire ratings. The UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grading) rating tells you about treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. Higher treadwear ratings mean longer-lasting tires.
Quality matters more than price. Premium tires from trusted manufacturers provide better stopping distances, improved handling, and longer tread life. They often prove more economical over their lifespan.
