Speed rating Speed rating. This letter denotes the maximum sustainable speed and is found directly after the load index. For S-speed-rated tires, it's 112 mph; for T, 118 mph. Speed ratings for other tires include Q, 99 mph; H, 130 mph; V, 149 mph; and Z, 150 mph plus. While such speeds may seem wildly impractical, tires with higher speed ratings tend to provide better handling at legal speed limits. Choose tires that have a speed rating at least as high as the one specified on your vehicle's placard. Speed rating	S
Treadwear warranty Commonly used by tire manufacturers to market tires, the warranty describes the typical tread life of the tire. Consumers should view the warranty an indicator of tread life only. Actual mileage will vary with vehicle type, driving style, road, and weather conditions, just to name a few variables. Nearly all treadwear warranties are based on pro-rated amount based on the usable tread worn off the tire. Treadwear warranty	60000
UTQG treadwear UTQGS, which stands for Uniform Tire Quality Grading System, is a federal government required grading system for passenger tires excluding winter tires. Key information includes Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature appearing on the sidewall of a tire. UTQG treadwear, an index developed by the government, compares a tire's tread life with that of a reference tire graded at 100. A tire with a grade of 300 is predicted to last three times as long as one graded at 100. Treadwear grades are just one indicator of tread life, but actual tire life will vary due to a number of factors including road conditions, driving habits, vehicle, and maintenance. UTQG treadwear	500
UTQG traction UTQGS, which stands for Uniform Tire Quality Grading System, is a federal government required grading system for passenger tires excluding winter tires.

UTQG traction indicates the tire¿s ability to stop on a wet surface with Government grades of AA, A, B, C, from best to worst. UTQG traction	A

These last 50K miles, at least for me

Comment:

I gave 2 stars, would give 2.5 stars. They just don't last the full 60,000 miles. The traction was not good on ice and snow, but granted this is when the tires were worn out. Overall these were just ok. Not happy with the life of these tires. I see here on consumer reports, second lowest rated? wow! I may not know what a good tire looks like. Been riding on these for a while, actually I probably have bought 6 to 8 of these, not anymore after reading consumer reports.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

The tires have done a decent job but at 38K they are toast (they are supposed to go 60K). And I drove them no differently then the Michelins the SUV came with, and they went 64K. <br />I have to get them replaced since they are down to 2/32. Not pleased.

Comment:

The tire is OK all round but I won't be buying another set. I dropped about 1 mpg in my Element when these were put on. Handling is predictable but could use more traction. Straight line brake performance is good.
