Uniroyal Tires



After several decades of evolution, a modern tire has become quite a complex product with a multilayer structure, a sophisticated tread design, and a specially selected rubber compound. Tire development and adaptation to certain driving conditions cost millions, which often results in high price tags on some famous brands. Meanwhile, for those companies that have been around since the rubber business was started, the situation is somewhat simpler, and their huge experience allows them to offer excellent products for those who are not going to break speed records on the track.

Founded back in 1892 as the U.S. Rubber Company, Uniroyal is one of such enterprises, and there are a couple of strong reasons why it remains a viable choice. Owned by Michelin since 1990, the company just makes the right tires for each of the popular vehicle types and sells them at a reasonable price. It offers quiet and comfortable tires for cars and minivans, tough and durable tires for pickup trucks and SUVs, and heavy-duty models for commercial transport. Uniroyal Tiger Paw and Laredo series are their all-season bestsellers. Particularly, the Laredo family includes several lines aimed at improved traction on wet pavement, good off-road performance, durability, or a quiet highway ride. As the company says, "Whatever you have, we have a tire for it." Try Uniroyal and you will see!

Understanding Tires

There is a lot of information on the sidewall of a tire. Typically, you'll find UTQG ratings for treadwear, traction and temperature, the size of the tire, the load rating index number with a speed rating index, the construction type (bias or radial), the D.O.T. compliance code, and construction details. On some tires used as original equipment, you may also find a marking that indicates its OE status.
