How to Rate Car Tires By Quality

    • 1). Decide what kind of driving you will be doing. Look for snow tires if you will be driving in snow. Look for all purpose tires if your driving conditions are moderate.

    • 2). Know the size of tire your vehicle need. Check your instruction manual, the inside door panel, or the tires for the size you are currently using.

    • 3). Decide what kind of traction you will want. Keep in mind that traction ratings are AA, A, B, C, with AA being the highest rating. Make your decision based on weather conditions. Go with AA only if you drive in extremely wet or slick environments; otherwise, choose a tire with a rating of B, which is safe for most driving conditions.

    • 4). Choose a treadwear grade, which can be rated in excess of over 200. Remember that a tire with a rating of 100 is estimated to last twice as long as a tire with a grade 50. Keep tread life in mind when checking the grade. Look up both the warranty and the Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) rating.

    • 5). Pick your temperature resistance, which is rated from A, B, to C and rate how likely your vehicle is to overheat driving at sustained high-speeds. Go with an A rating resistance if you drive freeways and highways. Pick grade C if you don't drive long distances.
