What does 235/35R20 mean? What does ZR mean? What is a tread-wear rating? What is a temperature grade? What is a traction grade? How about load rating, speed rating, and DOT badge? Car tires are a confusing mess to look at, with both SAE and metric units, and a complicated nomenclature.
That's where this video comes in. We'll explain all of the details surrounding the most common markings you'll find on tire sidewalls, with the ultimate guide to tires. How to read your tires! Make cars and coffee interesting again and read tire sidewalls all day.

It may also be worth mentioning that a lot of countries will issue fix it tickets for any tire over 6 years old, which is where the DOT stamp can be helpful in determining a tires age. There have been tire shops that have gotten in huge trouble for selling "new" 14 year old tires that never saw road time, only issue is that tires that old have hardened and lose traction and are more susceptible to blow outs. Think of a brand new rubber band that sat in a desk drawer for ten years, first time you stretch it out it just snaps, tires oxidize even if they arent driven on.

One of the first things I would say to my students when I was teaching our calc-based physics sequence for engineering and physical science majors was to not mix units. I would recommend that they convert all data to S.I. units do the calculations to get answers in S.I. and then convert at the end if they needed a result in another system of units. Mixing units is a prescription for disaster.

Being in the tire industry for 15 years; not only did you do a good job explaining, but you allowed people to understand there is a much more vast rabbit hole to explore if someone would like to have even more knowledge. E.G. tire pressure effects the setup of the vehicle while balancing the overall load. When driving higher speed this can have a huge effects or just when there are more down forces (including trucks with lots of weight).

Sometimes cheap performance tires are better than higher priced tires. When I used to own a 03 tiburon gt, I bought a set of nixens ZR Y summer tires $90 a tire ($360). All the other tires that were slightly more expensive had T and H ratings. I couldn’t afford to spend $1000 for name brands like Goodyear or continental. Anyhow the cheap summer tires were great with all forms of traction. The treads crapped out around 20k. Seems like these tires were definitely made to for people to use on a track as a low budget option

A long time ago, when I took my 88 Olds to one of those Quick Lube places for an oil change, the guy was showing a new hire the ropes. As I was sitting in my car with the windows down, I overheard these instructions: "See the max PSI on the sidewall? Inflate the tires to that." I got out, set them straight and from that day learned to do my own maintenance.

That's hilarious. It took a shop 2 tries and a new set of valve covers to fix a valve cover gasket leak. The leak was minor. First try they said the valve pan was bent and they tried to fix it. I drove it home and it was pouring oil before i got 1/2 there. Some rtv would have fixed the problem but they screwed it up. So i got another set of pans, shiny chome ones from the part house. They fixed it again and i still had to go behind them and snug up the bolts about 1/4 of a turn. Never again... I've also seen our local walmart drive a car into the pit and use a fork truck to get it out. I won't sign their waiver for oil changes. Again though i do it all myself. Bought a repair manual and taught myself in the days before the internet. Best choice i ever made. The skills I've learned have not only saved me untold amounts of money but I've been known to do side jobs wrenching. Back to you comment, I've also had the same talk with relatives about putting to much air in a tire. People a crazy sometimes.

It would probably be around this time of the year that the northern hemisphere starts to changing to summer tires, a refresh on how and what kind of tires you could slap on successfully is probably needed for most of us.

In F1 (and other racing series with multiple tire options), there is always an inverse correlation between tire traction/grip and durability/wear; eg compound A might have a 10% higher coefficient of friction than compound B, but compound B will last 10% more laps than tire A. Is this the case with road tires? Can I buy tires that offer both better grip and durability than discount tires, or is there an inherent tradeoff between grip and durability? TL;DR Is the grip vs wear tradeoff in racing tires a natural or artificial feature?

Yes, there are large differences in consumer road tires. In racing, you only have a few variations and cost is not a primary driver in variation like it is with consumer tires. Also note that there are effectively "generations" of tires. The average tire is improving slowly but steadily with each new model released. In general, in the same class of tire, you are making tradeoffs of dry grip, wet grip, cornering, tread life, NVH (noise, vibration, harshness), comfort, energy loss (fuel economy), and price.

Load and speed are just upper limits on the tire, you want as low as possible above what your car is capable of (dont need a truck tire load and 186mhp on a prius)

I’m surprised they didn’t rate max load in stones and max pressure in kPascals. 🤫

They did rate in kPa, 340kPa I believe was

Tires which are "special designed" for some specific car model are one of the funniest joke in auto industry.

Indeed. I see a lot of models on Tire Rack with the note that they are for Mercedes Benzes or Porsches

Why is it a joke? The tire compounds and construction are often tweaked specifically to meet the OEM's requirements. OEMs start from an existing design, multiple versions and iterations (aka submissions) are created and tested by the OEM to check attribute performance before settling on a final tire submission. For example the OEM could be looking for lower noise/vibration/harshness (NVH), lower rolling resistance, changes in dry/wet handling. The tire interaction with the other suspension components on a vehicle is quite complicated. Even the recommended tire pressure placard is determined by a mix of regulation requirements and attribute trade-offs. Going to the OEM dealer to buy replacement tires is the way to get the version the engineers designed. Going to Tire Rack or a local garage is a crap shoot and most places won't match DOT codes; i.e. you could have a mix of Tesla and Chrysler spec'd tires in a set of 4. Source: I'm involved in OEM testing of tires. Nothing against Tire Rack. I bought my winter tires from them.

I remember the Acura NSX came with vehicle specific tires on the rear with incredibly short tread life. About that time Lexus LS400’s were also fitted with unique tires.

Tire pressure is so important, but so many people run the wrong pressure. I work at a lube shop and most people have too much pressure. One lady was running 60 psi for a Honda Accord (max: 44 rec: 30)!! Not only will it wear your tires incorrectly and make for a harder ride, but you also have less traction. When I got my gf new tires, she complained that she was having trouble cornering because she felt like she was sliding out a bit. I drove it to work to check the tire pressure and felt what she was talking about. Turns out, they over inflated the tires by 10 psi in the rear and 8 in the front (40 psi all around, subaru, math, you get it lol). Since I adjusted the pressure, all the issues she was having went away and she loves the tires now!

Thank you! I worked at a huge tire company which sent their employees to all sorts of educational courses and I became an "expert"... yeah right! I just learned so much more in your sweet short video than in the years I was a "professional tire guy". Wow, LoL! Thanks again. P.S. obviously I did not name that tire company due to prudence, but f.y.i., it was the leading tire company in the U.S. during the time I worked there. Anyways, great job and thanks again! Stay Up!
