    Tires are grouped into different classifications, which are all based upon the type of vehicle they adhere to. Most cars and light truck vehicles have seasonal tires, as well as performance tires. The weight and air pressure of the tries also help not only with balance of the tires but also with gasoline mileage. There are also spare tires or run-flat tires that have low balance, designed for only a short distance. The top three manufacturers are Goodyear, Firestone, and Michelin.
