the buttons bellow  Tire Treadwear  A treadwear rating generally
falls between 60 and 540.  Treadwear ratings are determined by
testing tires in a controlled environment to determine how long
a tire's tread will last.  After a 7,200 mile wear test, a
treadwear rating is assigned.  Because treadwear ratings are
assigned by tire manufacturers, comparisons are most effective
between a specific manufacturer's products rather than across
brands.  A tire with a treadwear rating of 400, for example, is
likely to last twice as long as a tire rated at 200.  The
Uniform Tire Quality Grading System, or UTQGS, requires tire
manufacturers to disclose treadwear, traction, and temperature
information for tires they produce. This is designed to help
customers decide which tires are most suitable to their needs.
