What these grades mean in plain English
- Treadwear 440: 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 Venezia: Strada IV (median 500).
- Ranked just below in Venezia: PREMIUM ALL-SEASON (H) (median 440).
