What these grades mean in plain English
- Treadwear 400: this is an above-average treadwear grade, typical of many touring and all-season tires. Under UTQG a grade of 200 should wear twice as long as the grade-100 control tire on NHTSA's test course; real-world mileage varies with driving, rotation, alignment and climate.
- Traction A: A: second-highest wet-braking grade. Traction is straight-ahead wet braking only; it does not measure cornering or hydroplaning.
- Temperature A: A (highest): resisted heat build-up through the higher 575 rpm test stage.
- Ranked just above in Neutral: Widetrack Rad S/R (median 420).
- Ranked just below in Neutral: CLASSE PREMIERE CP621α (median 400).

NHTSA's UTQG data lists treadwear grades from 360 to 400 (median 400) for the Neutral CLASSE PREMIERE CP521, from 8 records. Treadwear is graded in multiples of 20 relative to a government control tire graded 100; it is not a mileage guarantee.

A grade of 400 is an above-average treadwear grade, typical of many touring and all-season tires. Compared with every line in the NHTSA data, the median is higher than 42% of lines (dataset median 420). Within Neutral it ranks #17 of 34.
What is the cost per mile of the Neutral CLASSE PREMIERE CP521?
We do not have a licensed price or warranty-mileage feed yet, so we do not state a cost per mile. Use the formula cost per 1,000 miles = price per set ÷ (expected miles ÷ 1,000) with your own quote and mileage expectation, or the calculator on this page.
