Total Comfort 79T

Touring tires are designed to provide drivers with a long tread life so that they spend more time on the roads. These tires are usually backed by a long mileage warranty, and can be used in dry, wet, and light wintery conditions.

Vehicle

This product is not covered by a manufacturer’s treadlife warranty.

Mileage Warranty

The maximum carrying capacity for a tire determined by the manufacturer.

Load Index

Maximum speed capability to safely carry a load for an extended period of time.

Max Speed

The side of the tire between the tread and rim, with cosmetic branding as well as information about the tire including manufacturer, model, size, etc.

Sidewall

Standards that measure treadwear, temperature resistance and traction, example: "640 A A".  The 640 is the treadwear test and it lasted 6.4 times longer than the comparison tire tested against.  The first "A" is the traction rating using straight-line wet traction on test surfaces (see information tables tab) and the second "A" is the temperature rating by testing operation at high speeds without heat-related failure (see information tables tab).

UTQG

Wet Traction is a piece of the UTQG for example if  UTQG is: 500 AA A, the wet traction piece is the second piece, the "AA".

Wet Traction

Measured in 32nds of an inch, this metric shows how much tread life is left on a tire, with the tire's traction & stopping capabilities greatly diminished at 4/32nds and less. Tire manufacturers include "tire wear bars" at 2/32nds to indicate when your tire is worn out.

Tread Depth

The highest inflation pressure (measured in pounds of force per square inch, PSI) the tire is designed to contain, and should only be used when called for by the vehicle placard.

Inflation Pressure

An identifier of a particular tire line and size combination assigned by the tire manufacturer.

Part Number

Tread design (or tread pattern) can affect handling, traction & noise for different driving styles & road conditions.

Tread Design

Tire Weight

The measurement of width from a tires inner sidewall to the outer sidewall.

Section Width

The diameter of a tire that is inflated without any load applied.

Overall Diameter

A three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol branded on a tire's sidewall indicates the tire meets required performance criteria in snow testing to be considered severe snow service-rated.

Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS)

Xtreme Grip 91W

Winter tires are built with a flexible rubber compound that allows for consistent grip on roads when the temperature is below 40 degrees. Able to conquer ice, snow, and slush, winter tires are either come in a standard design or they can be pinned with studs to improve grip.

The maximum load carrying strength at the specified inflation pressure, also known as ply rating.

Load Range

Trail Command HT 106H

Highway terrain tires are commonly used on light trucks and SUVs that typically haul materials or need to conquer highways and some off-road terrains.

Designed for use on light trucks and SUVs such as the Ram 1500, Ford F-150, and Chevrolet Silverado. Light Truck tires are strong enough to support a truck's heavier weight and whatever else is being hauled or towed.

Trail Command AT 115S

All-terrain tires offer drivers traction on- and off-road, and are typically used by light truck and SUV drivers who want a tire that's able to climb rocks and perform on the highway.

Trail Command RT 126Q

The maximum carrying capacity for a tire determined by the manufacturer  
                (Single wheel applications / Dual wheel applications).
