Sorry I didn't include this with yesterday's. The W-rated tires had a much lower Tread Weat rating than the V-rated Touring Tires I replaced them with. Both sets of tires were from the same manufacturer so there was assumed continuity in the numbers, and based on my experience there is. The 400 rated W-tires wore far quicker than the 600 rated V-tires. The V-rated tires included a minimum mileage life warranty whereas the W-rated tires did not.
Include the UTOG values in your comparison; (tread wear, traction, temperature) knowing there is no uniform standard for these scales and a manufacturer to manufacturer comparison is almost impossible.
