What these tire specs mean

Load index 94 means each tire can carry up to 670 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
Speed rating W is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 270 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
UTQG 340 A A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
Summer tires are built for maximum warm-weather grip — dry and wet roads where compound stickiness and tread design matter most. They harden in near-freezing temperatures and are not suitable for Ontario or Quebec winter driving.
Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
