CarCareTruth's Analysis

Last reviewed June 4, 2026

TL;DR Grand-touring all-season with UTQG Traction A and competitive wet braking confirmed by independent testing. Treadwear 700 with owner data trending toward warranted mileage. M+S rated; no 3PMSF stamp.

What it is and how it performs

Available across roughly 16- to 20-inch rims (195/55R16 to 245/45R20); UTQG Treadwear 700 / Traction A / Temperature A. A Tire Rack 2022 grand-touring all-season comparison placed it 7.5 feet shorter in wet braking than a class peer. Owner reports trend toward warranted mileage without two confirmed independent odometer sources yet. Review aggregators rank it above-average quiet for the grand-touring class.

Who should buy this, and who should skip it

Right pick for a daily-driver sedan or luxury-vehicle owner wanting Traction-A wet grip and a long-mileage all-season. Skip if severe-snow traction matters: M+S only, no 3PMSF; choose a 3PMSF all-weather or dedicated winter tire instead.

Safety and environmental impact

Cured-rubber-and-steel construction; no chemical-exposure pathway in normal use. No Prop 65 warning. Tires as a class shed tire-wear particles and 6PPD-quinone in runoff and are mostly burned at end-of-life, driving the below-average category environment score.
