What these grades mean in plain English
- Treadwear 160: this is a short-wear, performance-oriented grade. Tires in this range typically trade tread life for grip, and wear fastest in the UTQG scale. 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 AA: AA (highest): best wet-pavement straight-line braking grade on the government test surfaces. 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 Nitto: LCR (median 170).
- Ranked just below in Nitto: SUPER 70 (median 125).

Price and mileage data are pending a licensed feed, so nothing is pre-filled. Enter your own quote and your own mileage expectation (for example the maker's treadwear warranty from the tire's paperwork). Formula: cost per 1,000 miles = price per set ÷ (expected miles ÷ 1,000).

FAQ
What is the treadwear rating of the Nitto P ZERO?
NHTSA's UTQG data lists treadwear grades from 120 to 300 (median 160) for the Nitto P ZERO, from 12 records. Treadwear is graded in multiples of 20 relative to a government control tire graded 100; it is not a mileage guarantee.
Is the Nitto P ZERO treadwear grade high or low?
A grade of 160 is a short-wear, performance-oriented grade. Tires in this range typically trade tread life for grip, and wear fastest in the UTQG scale. Compared with every line in the NHTSA data, the median is higher than 3% of lines (dataset median 420). Within Nitto it ranks #23 of 25.
What is the cost per mile of the Nitto P ZERO?
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.
