I'm not quite sure why it's called a "rating" column because that just has to do with how many reviews have been left on the product page.

The biggest differences between the Loadstar # AM3S158 and the Karrier # AM31952, is that the Loadstar is a bias tire which means it will perform better for off-road applications, the Karrier is a radial so it will do better than the Loadstar on the highway.
