Discount Tire uses a simple Good, Better, Best tire rating system to help you quickly compare and understand the differences in quality and performance so you can decide which tire best meets your needs.
Best
The best of the best. Cutting-edge design and high-quality components contribute to the best overall value. There are minimal performance tradeoffs, making this a top choice in tire selection.
State-of-the-art designs and high-quality components contribute to the best overall value.
Depending on particular products, worn tire performance degradation is minimal.
The latest generation of raw materials and compounds are combined with a wide variety of construction techniques for maximum performance.
Better
Tires rated better are noticeably improved and are mid-range in cost. There are some performance tradeoffs however, they are typically less noticeable.
Some advanced designs and components are incorporated and are priced mid-level.
Performance tradeoffs still occur but are typically less noticeable. Worn tire performance is usually improved with better tires compared to good tires.

Good
