Question about the treadwear on tires...
I was going to get a whole new set of tires because mine are shot and i was highly thinking of the BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KD either 275/40/17 or 315/35/17 but i noticed that the treadwear was 200... Now is it the lower the number the faster your rubber weares or is it the higher the number the less it wears? Also in traction it got AA and temp it got an A is it the more A's the better??
Thanks 4 the help guys!

The lower the number, the faster the it wears.

200 vs 400 BFGoodrich means that the 200 will wear 2x faster than the 400
200 Michelin vs 200 Nitto means NOTHING... wild guess @ the most.Eugenio_SS
almost stock triple-black 2000 SS convertible with 17x11s on all 4 w/ 315s at the track or on the street with 18x10.5s on all 4 w/ 315s: (1), (2)
