This product is covered by a 60,000 mile manufacturer’s treadlife warranty. Merchandise covered by a manufacturer’s warranty is sold with the warranty by the 
        manufacturer extended to the purchaser. We will be happy to assist in obtaining fulfillment of a manufacturer’s 
        warranty. Other than applicable manufacturers’ warranties, there are no warranties, express or implied, 
        including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The only tires SimpleTire can

        void of any warranty claim. Any other adjustments should be taken to the nearest authorized dealer for that 
        manufacturer. Sometimes the manufacturer also provides a treadlife warranty and mileage rating. Please be aware 
        that not all tires hold a mileage warranty from the manufacturer. Different tire models, even from the same 
        manufacturer, may or may not come with a treadlife warranty.

Standards that measure treadwear, temperature resistance and traction, example: "640 A A".  The 640 is the treadwear test and it lasted 6.4 times longer than the comparison tire tested against.  The first "A" is the traction rating using straight-line wet traction on test surfaces (see information tables tab) and the second "A" is the temperature rating by testing operation at high speeds without heat-related failure (see information tables tab).

UTQG

Wet Traction is a piece of the UTQG for example if  UTQG is: 500 AA A, the wet traction piece is the second piece, the "AA".

Wet Traction

An identifier of a particular tire line and size combination assigned by the tire manufacturer.

Part Number

Tread design (or tread pattern) can affect handling, traction & noise for different driving styles & road conditions.
