TIRE REPLACEMENT
Replacing Tires
Size, speed rating, load index—there’s a lot to consider when replacing your tires. USTMA shows you how to make the right decision for optimum safety, performance, comfort and fuel efficiency.
Replacing Tires
Used Tires—A Risky Alternative
Can you trust used tires as replacements? You don’t know where they’ve been. Or how they’ve been treated. Find out why USTMA thinks going used is a risky proposition.

Tire Tip:
Replacing Fewer than Four Tires
USTMA recommends replacing all four tires at the same time for optimal performance. If this is not feasible, and you only replace two, install them on the rear axle. The newer tires will have better grip, particularly on wet roads, which is important to avoid hydroplaning situations. The greater traction capability on the rear axle can better prevent a possible oversteer condition and loss of vehicle stability.
Innovation
USTMA member companies have invested billions of dollars and countless hours engineering safe, sustainable tires.
