Buying SUV tires: how do you use your sport-utility vehicle?
Sport-utility vehicles are unique because they’re built to excel in all kinds of driving conditions. They’re good for commuting to and from work or for driving into the mountains for a weekend camping trip. Finding tires for SUVs can be a bit of a challenge because of their many possible uses.
When shopping for SUV tires, you should carefully consider how often you drive under the different types of conditions. Obviously conditions will vary depending on the area in which you live and commute, so keep in mind the differing conditions year round, not just during inclement weather.
If you are new to the area, contact your stats Department of Transportation or Highway Patrol. They'll let you know what type of tire would be best for your vehicle and your commuting needs.
Tire-shopping tips
Whether you’re buying tires for your Toyota Prius or your Ford F-350, follow these suggestions to get the most rubber for your buck:
Check the Uniform Tire Quality Grading: All tires are rated by the Uniform Tire Quality Grading system. A tire’s rating is based on its performance on a government testing track. Ideally, a tire graded as 200 would take twice as long to wear than a tire rated as 100. This system won’t tell you exactly how long a tire will last – that depends more on your driving habits and road conditions where you live – but the UTQG system will give you an idea of which tires last longest.
Know the tire’s speed rating: All tires are given a letter grade to indicate the top speeds they can safely handle. Performance tires usually carry at least a “V” rating. However, most people never drive faster than 112 mph, which is the lowest-possible “S” rating. Tires with higher speed ratings are generally more expensive. Don’t hesitate to look at tires with lower speed ratings to save some money on your purchase.
* S = 112 mph, 180 km/h
* T = 118 mph, 190 km/h
* U = 124 mph, 200 km/h
* H = 130 mph, 210 km/h
* V = 149 mph, 240 km/h
* W = 168 mph, 270 km/h
* Y = 186 mph, 300 km/h
