Reading this page
- Coverage: NHTSA lists a specific size for only 61% of its records (4,665 of 7,628); the rest are filed as “All sizes” or size ranges. Those lines may well be sold in 245/35R20 but cannot be placed here, so this is a lower bound, not a full catalog. A size catalog feed is needed for completeness.
- Size types in records: unspecified. Load index and speed rating are not compared here.
- Treadwear grades are set by each manufacturer and are most reliable for comparing tires of the same maker. See methodology and NHTSA TireWise.
