Speed Rating (Maximum Speed)
S - 180 km/hT - 190 km/h
U - 200 km/h
H - 210 km/hV - 240 km/hW - 270 km/hY - 300 km/hZ - 240 km/h +
Tread Wear
The tread wear grade is essentially how soft the rubber is. It can range anywhere from 30 for a set of very sticky racing tires, to 500+ for tires that are hard and specifically designed for highway use.
Traction
A tire’s ability to stop on wet asphalt. Ratings can be given as AA, A, B, or C. A ‘C’ tire will provide less traction as a ‘A’ tire.
PROPER TIRE INFLATION
To make sure you have your tires pumped to the correct PSI, don’t look at your tires, look at the tire placard found in the driver’s side door jamb. It will indicate what your tires should be inflated to.
If you you have any questions regarding the video, you know what to do. Thanks for watching!! :)

This is surprisingly a lot of research that is very clear. You should submit this as a "How-To" video to present in class in the future if your teacher asks.
This is the Best Fullest Video about tyres on TH-cam Many Thanks
great idea to make a series dedicated to wheels and tires... this is actually really helpful
Glad to hear it :) Hope its helpful to a lot of people!!
Dude you are spot on, excellent video. My car was recently involved in an accident and it didn't drive right after the repairs. Come to find out they use three different tires so the information that you can learn from the tire is very important.
Geezzzzzz , finally someone that answers my questions, Great Video!!!! I watched 50 videos about tires none of them was informative, they barely mentioned a few of the sidewall lingo.... Thank you!!!! so much for this video..... you answered all my questions...
I'm not a minute into it and it's already incorrect
Very informative video Milan. I'm in the process of changing my OEM tires and wheels and this video couldn't have come in a better time. 👌
That is great information to know about one's tires and I have learned something new by watching this and one other video about tires and what to look for when replacing them.
sneak peak of new seats. nice really excited to see.
Great job Milan! Very thorough and you made it so simple that anybody who watches this vid can become an expert. Keep it up! You deserve way more subs and views! Good luck from MI 😊
your videos are so helpful! thank you
Very good explanation!
Phenomenal job dude! Thanks 😎👍
This video was great man thanks a lot!
Thanks very informative!
Very good explanation hanks
Very good video,very informative
those wheels are gorgeous!
Excellent video. Very helpful
Glad to hear it! Cheers
awesome explanation.
Thank you great video
excellent vid..... thumbs up
very informative
Thank you thank you very much.
Great Chris thanks
Why do these people dislike so fast..? #haters
Love the videos Milan :) keep it up!!
I love your videos. Can you make one on how to tell if a tire is good or not
Thank you so much!
Thank you!! :)
Do certain tire brands have sharper shoulders than others (a more "square" tire)? Or is it just the fitment of the tire width and aspect ratio on a certain wheel width (to manipulate the shape of the "bulge")?
EXCELLENT
Great video especially about the psi on tires. Now, what about if I put aftermarket wheels on my car? I have a Nissan Altima 07 and it came with 20" wheels. The problem is, the TPMS light is always on. How do I know the correct PSI in that case?
The ending is always historically hilarious for some reason
It's good to pay attention to the DOT manufacture date(along with the other specs) when buying new tires to make sure you aren't getting old stock. Tire rubber starts to degrade over time with exposure to the elements, and if you don't put a lot of miles on your car the rubber in your tires can deteriorate well before the tread wears down. If you notice a retailer trying to sell you a tire with a DOT date older than a year, you may want to ask for newer stock.
Very good advice!!
Tires older than 6 years can separate and thus be deadly. So do not buy them.
@@abrahamlugo7866 bullshit my old tyres I just replaced were 2008 it's now 2019 that's 11 years old and they still drove like new I only replaced because I have kids and was a tiny amount of dry rot on the top edges to be expected for 11 year old tyres were Bridgestone potanzes adrenaline reoo1 I now have pirellis and regret not getting the bridgestones again as these new ones are to soft and will not last
Scott olsen has a point. Never have I checked the manufacturer's date. All I check is tread level, brand name. price --- in that order.
Spot on. Even learned something new. However. I highly disagree with using the placard to determine PSI. By far the most debatable topic of tires is PSI.
I like your garage
that boy is very smart. he knows what's he's talking about...
My car gives psi values for 195, 205 and 215mm tyres. But my car came with 235mm ones as the previous owner had put these bigger tyres. So what pressure to use?
to answer the guys question about the "z" on the tire that let's u know it is rated for high speed which with the exception of drag tires usually means is a much harder compound tire if u will look on a factory performance car like a vette they come from the factory with a "z" rated tire
Hey buddy I have a situation,
So I bought new wheels, they are 18 and my stock where 17, but I can’t find the psi for the new ones to check the tire pressure, any help?
One thing you also might want to tell people is tires older the 6 years old (from that MFG date 2115) should not be used due to rubber deterioration.
thankkkkkkk youuuuuu
what various tire/rims size can I use on my 1986 Chevy c10 Silverado, currently have 235 75 R15 not crazy how they look wanted something more stylish.
would it be better to stick with the OEM tires or buy a set of tires from a different brand? Im currently looking to replace my OEM tires since they have almost no tread left? I use all season tires.
About treadwear: does the higher number also mean the tire grips less than a lower one?
How would you find the correct tyre pressure if you change wheels and tyres to aftermarket because I’ve gone from 195/60/15 to 215/40/17 ?
Make a video about wheel stretching
How do you discern which tires are for front left etc?
how do my michelin (primacy 3) prius tires have 240 treadwear?
if i go large size tire with stock wheels, should increase the standard tire pressure?
XL marking means the tire is reinforced to carrying heavier vehicles, not necessarily vans. It also mean the tire can take higher pressure inflation.
So what tire size would be good for a FWD MK4 VR6 have 17s Santa Monica Wheels on stock suspension dont really have the budget for expensive wheels rather put it towards tires but no luck finding info.
Milan,,let me ask you about the red and yellow dot in a tire?Most people ignoring this color..My new car have yellow and red,,they mount the tire facing the air valve with the yellow dot..NOW THERES A LOT OF TAPE WEIGHT IN ALL CORNER OF MY TIRE..IS IT CORRECT TO MOUNT TO YELLOW DOT..OR THE RIGHT ONE SHOULD BE THE RED COLOR..TAKE NOTE THIS TIRE HAVE A TPMS MOUNTED ON IT
If I wanted to go with a widebody kit, instead of a 225/40 Tire. I would go for a 245/40 tire or something like that ?
What about the wheel ? how would I match the tire and the wheel ?
I own a 1998 Bmw 323is (e36) coupe, I have purchased the same TSW wheels! I'm curious to what tire size you would suggest? I obviously don't want to rub nor buy the wrong size tire and have to sell the tires and buy new ones cause that will be a hell of a task. My car has stock suspension and no over fenders. The car is rear wheel drive and I believe I may need 10 mil spacers in the rear . Most likely stretched tires as well. Please let me know if you can point me in the right direction and thanks for posting these two wheel related videos I learned a lot in the rim video and this video had some useful bits too but much less lol. This one was a tiny bit boring. No offense loved your plastidip texture vid too
Nice video.
Doesn't the tire pressure change if you are using a different rim/tire setup. Like the small spare tires have different pressure.
where are you from? :)
Bro what if i change my tires and im not using the actual tires that came with the car? Do i still need to follow the PSI pressure guide on the car ?
share and liked ur video
when will u swap the transmission on leanne
You forgot something....the difference between directional and non- directional tires .Directional tires can only be rotated front to back on the same side of the car. There is an arrow on the sidewall that tells you the direction of rotation. Non -directional tires can be rotated in a X pattern
RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE
Tyres I got with my car are 225 45 r18. Can I put 225 40 on them without problems?
Extreme Contacts. I have the DWS 06's. Awesome tires.
Next video: complete guide on installing aftermarket wheels. Please.
So will a 205 fit the same rim as a 215??
Waiting for the G35 !!
hey man..great vid . as always....i was looking at your rims..and wow are they clean...i had a question.. i seem to be having clear coat peeling of the outer side or the rims...how can i fix this? wet sand it? 600 grit...up to 2000?...then polish them after?
You got it :) But at that point, you will have to polish the metal every once in awhile because the bare aluminum will oxidize
thanks for the reply man....i was thinking that also...could i clear coat it after i polish it? or is it better to just leave it as is?
Not a minute into this video and it's already incorrect! The 225 is not the tread pattern width, it is the tire's overall width: from side wall to side wall. They each have their advantages but, a rounded side wall tire will have less tread width than a straight walled tire of the same size. I don't have the truck here with me, but we have a truck that has 255s that have a wider contact patch than the 265s I have for it. Back when touring tires came out they had quite a bit more tread width than the rounded side walls of the standard tires.
if you change tire size, will that change what psi the tire should be at?
if youre unsure about it you should just stay with the pressure you had before, but usually you will find that with a bigger tire you can get away with more pressure and therefore less rolling resistance because you have more rubber on the street
sweet vid. thanks dude! i'm actually getting the same tires as these fo rmy mustang, except in 255s all around. i was debating on the michelin pilot super sports or these, but ultimately picked these because of the higher treadware grade and cheaper price :)
Which tires help me make bigger cloud?
LOL its not the tires that make the bigger cloud, its what they're attached to ;)
+milanmastracci Question ? I Heard There Is Different Kind Of Materials In The Tires That Will Cause More Smoke Than Others ? Is That True Or False?
+Jose Torres I don't think so,but there's something u can do ;) and it's a great thing to do.
Just put some oil on the road and put ur spinning tires on the oil whether it's drive shift or rear wheel drive after that just do burnouts like a boss and have fun 😁👌
I think extra load means the tire is reinforces.... For instance ,if the tire has 4 ply and it's extra load that means it has en extra ply. It could be extra ply of rubber, wire or wherever they used. In other words it's thicker then a non extra load tire
Nice! But, when is the new bumper video coming out? :D
Soon!!
+milanmastracci This is AWESOME!!!
what is a Hunda ?
How do people make their wheels look wide? Are spacers required or just a wide wheel and stretched tires?
Some use spacers, some use wider rims and tires, other methods
Any of those options will make them/look wider. And both have ups and downs when applied
The tire placard is assuming u have OEM sized wheels and tires. What if you have aftermarket wheels and tires a different size than OEM? How do you find pressure for that?
Always consult a wheel and tire expert on what size is best suited for your car. But word of advice, never use a tire that can't handle the load of the car (load index) especially if you pile gear and passengers into it.
If your not sure, just put 30-35 psi until you find out the actual recommend psi for the tire. 30-35 will never harm the tire
If aftermarket, keep changing them till you find a setup that's safe and feels good!
Actually, the second number is not the simple ratio for tyre width, but the ratio from tread width (225 mm) to rim diameter (19") in percent.
NOTIFICATION SQUAADDD
Well explained, thanks for the video.
I just want to point one issue; in the beginning (th-cam.com/video/iZ7jUs-6lTo/w-d-xo.html), the information related to width (225 mm) measured not at the contact area (tread) of the tire but the widest point of the tire which is sides (cross section) in this case.
Complete Guide for Tires, what happened to the letter "Z" that is on the tires what does it stand for? You completely skipped it and didn't even say a word about it????
I’m not sure what the “z” means anymore. The “y” determines the speed ratings. Not sure what the “z” means.
Know I'm kinda late here, but from what I've heard the Z means the tire is rated for up to or over speeds of 320kmh
7:22 if that a line of degreasers and cleaners over your right shoulder?
You got it :)
If you change the rim size, and the tire dimensions would change too, what formula should we use? Anyone?
the outer diameter must be the same, unfortunately tyre manufacturers don't list the profile in mm
why would you run staggered wheels on a front wheel drive car?????
eduardoig17 cause race car
but It's a Honda Accord ........
reverse order, wider on front then the skinnier one on the back. lol
So the back don’t swing out as easily
Let's say I put 18's on my car, and from factory they come with 17s. Do I still look at the sticker in between my car to see how much psi I need?
Use it as a starting point, but check treadwear. The oldest trick is an even, white paint line across the tread and a quick drive on the road.
My front tires are 255 and my rear are 275 does that mean I can't change my rear tires to 255? Or do I need to get a different rim to support 255?
Yes, if you want to go lower or bigger, you will have to get wider or smaller rim size.
You will probably be able to run a 255 in the rear, but if the rim is a different size from front to rear, the tire might look funny / it might not be the proper circumference and your speedometer will be off.
How do you like those Extreme Continentals?
Love them!! A great summer tire that is fantastic in the rain too :) Not quite as grippy as my Michelin Pilot Cup tires, but they're still very nice :)
Funny. I'm literally just started thinking about getting new tires now... I have about a year left on my crap OEM, so I decided to get a sub, but I really wanted new tires... :(
Hopefully you can get some nice rubbers when the OEM ones wear out
The tire info placard on older cars are found in the glove compartment, center console, or gas cap door. Best place is owner's manual, but thems are rare in them old cars.
The Y stands for 186 miles an hour
Can you include a stretched tire guide ?
yeah I have one: don't do it
And have your tire blow out while driving? Just leave them be, not worth it bud.
My car has an anti theft lock nut and I lost the key. What should I do?
I lost mine too, you can probably buy a new key or just go to a tire place and have them break it and get a regular one that's the same as the others on your tire.
kyd
try the other key
What did the z stand for?
It is also a speed rating, meaning the tire is rated for 240+ km/h, but is irrelevant because of the Y rating, which means its rated for 300 km/h.
Hey Milan,
What if I changed my stock wheels from 14" to 16"
Do I still follow the tire pressure stated in my owners manual?
P.S ... I love your videos!
Use the recommended tire pressure stated for your new tires from the manufacturer
Even with aftermarket wheels?
+Devindran Rajasingam yes. Tires vary from one manufacturer to another. Go with whatever your new tire manufacturer recommends
+Car HQ thank you😊
i dont agree, the reason why is because you should use the owners manual as different cars have different weight distribution. so my car has 59% front and 39% rear.. so my manual says: 39 psi Front, 36 psi Rear. some cars have 50% 50% weight and use 32/32. it all depends on the car not the tire it self. 5:57 in this video.
This kid can make time to put out hella videos but he can't make time to help me do a little vinyl wrapping... Bro, I live down the street from you 😉😂
XD
The vids take more time than you think, plus he's probably busy af with other stuff.
+Adrenalize I know he is lol, just ragging on him because he's my bro and he misses out on some of our social stuff because he's dedicated to this channel.
Dorukyy we still go to the states for car parts. They're are rip off in Canada.
Meanwhile I when I got my car the previous owner just put some cheap tyres on.. Terrible grip.
Whats the " Z " stand for ? Sounds like you may be trying to hide something....you kind of lost me after you skipped it.
The sticker in your door jam is not for the tire you showed. Beyond that, I have always contended that you should run tire pressures recommended by tire manufacturer not vehicle manufacturer. Vehicle manufacturer takes in consideration ride quality. That's why Ford almost killed Firestone tires because they were recommending a lower pressure than Firestone on Explorer's that were having blowouts and rolling over. Several people were killed because of Ford's stupidity. I have the stock size tires on my pickup and run the max tire pressure marked on the TIRE. Always check pressures cold. Maybe a slightly harsher ride but better wear and MPG.
You skipped Z in ZR. What does it mean? People dont trust these numbers and when you skip it it convoluts the validaty of all your videos. No pun intedend. I respect the rest of the info though.
Every time I get new set of Tires they inflate the tires by the tires manufacturer instead of what the car manufacturers said on the Sticker on the driver side door that make me mad 😡 because they are not known about what the car manufacturers Recommend they don’t know what they are going.
why tf don't I get notifications for your channel? :(
Click on the bell next to the subscribe button above. Hope that will do the job.
Tire is 3years old
"Extra Load doesn't mean anything" :)))))
