What is the Treadwear rating of Toyo RR?
It also complements our already popular portfolio of race-proven tires including the new Proxes RS1 and legendary Proxes RA1. The new Proxes RR has a 40 C A treadwear rating and is available in three popular competition sizes: 205/50ZR15, 225/50ZR15 and P275/35ZR18 87LL. It is recommended for competition events only. The Proxes R is quicker and more predictable than its respectable predecessor, the Proxes RR, while retaining its highly regarded consistency and durability. This DOT competition tire* has 4/32” deep tread and is designed for dry road racing and high-performance driving experiences (HPDE).
What is the Treadwear on Toyo tires?
Tires should be replaced when tread is worn to 2/32 or sooner. Treadwear indicators are built into Toyo tire treads to show the 2/32 depth. All states require that tires be replaced when the tread depth is worn to 2/32nd. Tires may lose sufficient wet and snow traction well before reaching 2/32nd of wear. Tyre lifespan Tyres should be removed once they reach ten years of age, regardless of appearance, mileage or actual wear. However, most tyres will need replacing before they reach the ten year mark. That’s why it’s important to keep a close eye on the condition of your tyres.This perishing happens over time, and it is estimated that the maximum safe lifespan of a tyre is around five years. In normal usage, the tyre tread is likely to wear down before the rubber degrades, meaning that the tyre is probably going to be replaced before the natural shelf life of a tyre is reached.We recommend that all tyres are replaced when they reach ten years old, regardless of the depth of the tread. Even if the tyre still looks good, we recommend you seek the advice of your local Uniroyal fitter if your car, or your tyres, have been unused for a long period of time. This applies to your spare tyre too.
Is a 500 treadwear rating good?
Here’s a general guide for treadwear ratings based on driving needs: Daily Commuting: Look for a treadwear rating of 500-700 for extended durability. Performance Driving: Lower ratings like 200-300 will provide better grip but wear faster. The treadwear marking demonstrates how long a tire can last. Treadwear has a range between 100-1000, where, for example, an 800 UTQG tire will last twice as long as a 400 UTQG tire. Tire treadwear performance is evaluated on a specific roadway course approximately 400 miles in length, which is established by the NHTSA.A 600 treadwear rating indicates that the tire is good for 60,000 miles. However, this is just an estimate as driving styles and road conditions can greatly shorten a tire’s service life.Proper tyre maintenance, including ensuring they are correctly inflated and regularly rotated. The type of driving, with city driving putting more stress on tyres than highway driving. How long will 2mm tyre tread last? Once your tyre has reached 2mm of tread, the best you can hope for is around 1,000 miles.High Treadwear Applications (500 and More) These tires start at a treadwear rating of 500 and can rise to 700 and higher. This is not only useful for vehicles where the owner or driver is not inclined to do regular maintenance but also for vehicles that cover huge distances during normal usage.The standard is set so that a rating of 100 is equal to 30,000 miles. The actual rating is a percentage of 30,000 miles. A tire rated at 200 has a projected tread life of 60,000 miles. A tire rated at 50 has a projected tread life of 15,000 miles.
What is the best treadwear?
Understanding Treadwear And Durability The baseline rating is 100, with higher numbers (400–800+) signifying longer expected tread life. For example, a tire with a treadwear rating of 400 is expected to last twice as long as a tire rated at 200, under controlled testing conditions. A tire with a 500 treadwear rating is expected to last approximately 50,000 miles under standard conditions. However, factors like driving style, road conditions, and vehicle type can affect actual mileage.Tire tread wear is measured by the treadwear grades of the UTQG. This portrays the tire’s estimated service life. For example, 200 treadwear tires will have about 20,000 miles on them. However, this estimate is not set in stone and it will vary due to external factors.Treadwear Grades (sometimes called a Treadwear Rating) If the test tire is expected to last as long as the reference tire, it receives a UTQG Treadwear grade of 100. If it is expected to last twice as long, it would receive a grade of 200.Treadwear Customers praise the R1R’s treadwear, with many scoring 7s-8s noting excellent durability through multiple track days and autocross events. Several highlight impressive longevity for a 200TW tire, lasting 10k+ miles with spirited driving.The standard is set so that a rating of 100 is equal to 30,000 miles. The actual rating is a percentage of 30,000 miles. A tire rated at 200 has a projected tread life of 60,000 miles. A tire rated at 50 has a projected tread life of 15,000 miles.
Is a 300 treadwear rating good?
A good tire treadwear grade is generally considered 300 or above, as per NHTSA. Tire ratings above 400 are generally preferred for long tread life. Drivers looking for performance usually opt for lower ratings between 100-300. In the battle of T and H ratings, H is generally perceived as being better. H-rated tyres are effectively able to cope with 12mph faster speeds, can cope with greater friction at all speeds, and have significantly more capacity for heat resistance.Sticking with H-rated tires comes at a cost. While we found prices are similar to S- and T-rated tires, H-rated tires didn’t last as long in our treadwear test–an average of 49,180 miles, versus 61,080 for our S- and T-rated tires.H-rated tires are thoroughly tested to safely handle speeds up to 130 mph, while V-rated tires show reliable performance at sustained speeds up to 149 mph, which is an important distinction for vehicles that travel at higher speeds.
How long will a 400 treadwear tire last?
A tire with a 400 rating should last twice as long as one rated 200, assuming both are driven under the same conditions. But the actual mileage varies by brand, vehicle, and how you drive. For example, a tire with a 400 rating might last 40,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on usage. The 400 is tread wear which represents the tire’s comparative wear when measured against the governments mandated tire, which is rated at 100. So the tire rated at 400 would wear four times longer than the government’s mandated tire. However, please don’t link treadwear grades with your projected tire mileage.Most tires used on passenger vehicles have a treadwear rating that falls between 200 and 500. Tires in this bracket offer a great mix of grip and safety, matched with enough longevity to last multiple years if not driven hard every day. Tires with medium treadwear are therefore excellent for everyday driving.For example, a tire with a treadwear rating of 700 may last approximately 70,000 miles. There is no real science supporting this “rule. Unfortunately, the rating that is of the most interest to consumers is the one that is the least consistent.
