SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Many tires come with a service description added on to the end of the tire's size. These service descriptions contain a two-digit number (load index) and a letter (speed rating). The load index is a representation of the maximum load each tire is designed to support. Because the maximum tire load-carrying capacity is branded on the tire's sidewall, the load indes is used as a quick reference. ![]() This example shows you how to determine the maximum load-carrying capacity based on a tire's load index.
There are many factors to consider when buying tires online. Besides trying to get the best price, you’ll also need to consider wheel, rim and tire fit for any car, but this is especially important for a modified vehicle. Custom wheels and tires are especially important for a vehicle modified with a body kit, modified for lowering (the airbags are of particular concern in this case), or if the vehicle has undergone a brake upgrade. These need to be kept in mind when considering a wheel and tire package. Why would you go to all that effort and put cheap tires on your car when you’ve spent so much time and effort on a customized modification? If you want all-season versatility that includes light snow traction and are willing to trade on some dry and wet traction, All Season tires are recommended. These ultra low profile tires are designed to provide year round traction even in light snow through tread designs and compounds that remain flexible in cold weather to help blend all-season traction with very good handling and high speed capabilities for both car tires, truck tires and SUV tires. The factors we must consider are: the weather, the terrain that you will drive on, TPMS – Tire Pressure Monitoring System and the offset. For further inquiries, please contact our technicianswith any questions about car tires, truck tires, SUV tires and accompanying rims at 1-877-8473 toll free.
