Tread life and grip ratings
This tire carries a UTQG rating of 700 A B. The treadwear grade of 700 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

At $146.24 per tire, a full set of four costs $584.96. That sits close to the average for the 95 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $8.36 per 1,000 miles across the set.
