Speed ratings: Choose replacement car tires that match the speed rating of your existing ones. The speed rating determines the safest top speed your tires can operate when carrying a load. It is labeled by letters such as Q, S, T, U, H, V, W, and Y, each with a corresponding top speed of 99 miles per hour (mph) to 186 mph.
Sidewall markings: Make sure your car tires are properly labeled with the corresponding sidewall marking information such as load limit and maximum cold inflation, tire width, aspect ratio, wheel diameter, speed symbol and load index, temperature, traction, and treadware grades that can help you when choosing other compatible replacement tires.
Compatibility: Choose replacement car tires that match the specifications of the original ones that came with your car to ensure compatibility, security, and performance.
All-terrain use: Choose all-terrain car tires if you live in an area that experiences several weather changes in a year. All terrain car tires feature combined tread types ideal for driving in the snow, off-road, and on regular highways.
