Treadwear Rating
The treadwear rating is a comparative number assigned under the US UTQG system indicating a tyre's expected wear life relative to a reference tyre rated at 100. A tyre rated 300 should last three times longer than the reference tyre under controlled test conditions. While useful for comparison, real-world wear depends heavily on driving conditions and vehicle setup.
