Types of Tires
The three main types of
tires are regular or bias ply, belted, and radial. Years ago bias and
belted tires were the top tire sellers. The majority of tires sold today are
radial tires. Radial tires tend to have better traction than other types
of tires.
All Season Tires were
developed to provide satisfactory handling in a wide variety of driving
conditions and are a popular choice for many people.
High
Performance Tires
are designed for vehicles that travel at high
rates of speed and are rated for speed.
Tire
companies have developed entry level high performance tires with speed
ratings of S and T, and are a great alternative if you only want the
sporty look of high performance tires. S and T speed rated tires are
considerably cheaper, they have a longer tread life and warranty. They provide a
better quality ride as well.
Buy
Sumitomo tires that are in the entry level high
performance category, if you want the sporty look but don't actually need a
high performance tire. The tire store or tire manufacturer can
provide more information on tire speed ratings or you can read about tire
speed ratings here
