Different Types of Vehicle Tires

How to choose tires - four kinds of car & truck tires

Broad Market Passenger
This is the most common type of tire and features long tread life and a quiet, smooth ride. Other attributes include:
All-season traction
High aspect ratios (tire height), which means a softer ride
Passenger car, SUV and light truck applications

Performance/Touring
This tire combines the characteristics of performance tires with the long mileage and smooth ride of a broad market passenger tire. It features:
Higher speed ratings than broad market passenger tires
Medium aspect ratio (tire height), resulting in a combination of performance and ride comfort
Passenger and luxury car applications

High Performance
Not a tire for the masses. This type of tire is designed for enhanced handling under demanding circumstances. Tire highlights:
Typically uses "Z" or "ZR" in size description
Highest speed ratings
Low aspect ratio (tire height) for enhanced control
Sports car and high-performance sedan applications

Light Truck
Light trucks are designed to carry cargo. These tires are designed to support higher loads, and include:
"LT" designation followed by size
Requires higher tire pressure compared to passenger tires
Load index designated by alpha character, typically "C" through "G"
SUVS, van and light truck applications

Your local Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center can help you find the right tire for the right price.
