Traction grade AA measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

At $176.24 per tire, a full set of four costs $704.96. Backed by a 20,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $35.25 per 1,000 miles across the set.
