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	70000
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	540
UTQG traction 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 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
UTQG temperature UTQGS, which stands for Uniform Tire Quality Grading System, is a federal government required grading system for passenger tires excluding winter tires.

Comment:

Two replacements in the first year. Each time a bubble on the side wall (2 different tires). Each time a hassle w/Uniroyal (Michelin). Not covered under road hazard warranty. Sales persons explanation: (of course) these are Michelin's least expensive line. Spent HOURS negotiating with BJ's & Michelin; hours attempting to get timely delivery of replacements. A third tire would not hold air after being improperly sealed at the rim. All told: a horror story. Will never purchase Uniroyals again.

Comment:

I replaced 4 Tiger Paw tires with 4 new Tiger Paws last month. I think the tires are great and even towards the end of their tread life, they delivered very good perfomance. I do NOT consider myself a tire conneisour by any stretch of the imagination, but I put these tires on my car in 2007 and didn't think about them again until the mechanic told me the tread wear was low. I'm easy to please and the price and perfomance add up to a great tire value that earned Tiger Paw a repeat customer.
