I know zero about tires, but need to buy a set soon.
'98 'burb.
One thing I definitely want is capacity above and beyond the mandated minimum for the vehicle in question - having blown a sidewall a few years ago...
I don't want off-road tires because the only off-road driving I do is in sand and I'd rather not have the noise that my current Toyos make.
Consumer Reports likes Goodyear's 'Assurance TripleTred' and Michelin's "X Radial"... so I'll probably buy one of those lacking other information. Wet and dry braking are at the top of my list. Tread life is at the bottom. Noise is somewhere in the middle.
So - what am I looking for capacity-wise? How so I express/identify/confirm same?
