CarCareTruth's Analysis

Last reviewed June 3, 2026

TL;DR All-season touring tire with UTQG Traction A and Treadwear 620. Covers sedans, minivans, and crossovers; M+S rated for light snow, no 3PMSF stamp for severe winters.

What it is and how it performs

All-season touring tire for sedans, minivans, and crossovers, sold across sizes spanning roughly 14- to 20-inch rims. UTQG grades: Treadwear 620 / Traction A / Temperature A. The 620 treadwear is in the upper-mid band; real tread life needs owner-odometer confirmation (the 75,000-mile warranty is a claim, not evidence). No independent instrumented wet or noise test located; scores rest on federal grades and thin aggregate owner data.

Who should buy (and who should skip)

Right pick for a daily-driver sedan, minivan, or crossover owner who wants a Traction-A all-season grounded in federal UTQG grades. Skip if severe-snow traction is the priority: M+S only, no 3PMSF; a 3PMSF all-weather or dedicated winter tire suits hard winters.

Safety and environmental impact

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