Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 100 AA A. The treadwear grade of 100 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 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).

Price and value

At $212.03 per tire, a full set of four costs $848.12. That is about 23% above the average of the 11 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range.
