Ultimately, your tires affect your car’s performance. It’s best to think about how you use your car when buying a new set of tires.
On snowy streets, equip your car with specialized snow tires.
If you drive fast, choose tires with a high-speed rating. You can determine the rating by looking at the letter beside the load index in the alphanumeric code. The range is A to Z, with A being the lowest and Z the highest.
