Question:

what does "B" mean on tires ? ?

I have got TOYO tires for my town country minivan, these tires been graded B, can anyone explaine what does that mean? and what the differances between B and A grades on tires ? Thanks

Answer:

eggs, diary products etc. You can still eat those as a vegetarian.
Dark green leafy vegetables I think.
The B stands for the load range. B would be right for a minivan, anything higher like a C or D would be used on a truck.
Depends on where that B is on the tire. It could mean that it is a Bias ply tire, R being a Radial tire. There are no grade A-B-C on tires. Benefits of a radial tire are: Better fuel mileage. Softer ride, Less vibration. Extended tire life. Bias ply tire on the other hand give you: Better handling. Less pulling especially on roads heavily rutted. If you are looking at the Load Range listed on the tire then it is telling you the number of ply's Bias or radial that make up the tire. A2 B4 C6 and so on. The higher the range the more load the tire can carry, and the stiffer the ride. Hope that helps.
