Buying Tires Check List: Things to look in the tire
Tire Code
Before buying tires, it is really important that you must check the tire code as it often contains the main information such as load, speed ratings, rim, diameter, etc.
Tire Type- The first letter of the code may be:
P for passengers- Regular tires to fit most passenger cars.
LT for Light Truck- Tires with enhanced load carrying capacity.
ST for special Trailer- Tires with thicker sidewalls for larger vertical loads.
T for Temporary- spares tires
Thread width- The three-digit number represents the distance between sidewalls in millimeters.
Aspect Ratio- The aspect ratio follows a slash and indicates the relation of the section height to the section width. Just, for instance, the aspect ratio of 60% means 60% of the section width. The lower the aspect ratio, the better will be the steering.
On some tires may you also see D for Diagonal, which are the same as bias-ply.
Rim Diameter- A one or two-digit number expressed in inches identifies the diameter of the wheel the tire is designed to work the best on.
Low rating (Index) - A two or three-digit number will show much weight the tire can hold. Be aware that the index is introduced for one tire only, to get the full number, multiply it by four.
It’s very important that when buying tires, you don’t choose one with a lower load index than specified.
Warranty
There are two types of Warranty a tire manufacturer can provide you with, defect protection and tread warranty. The most popular world-class manufacturers usually provide both, offering a guarantee that the tread will last for several years.
However, think twice before you jump to purchase a warranty. They are provided on a particular number of miles and it often happens that tires wear out a lot quicker, in such case, there is a possibility you will get a replacement. Always go for quality above everything
So make sure you keep these things in mind.
