Compare the average treadwear of Sumitomo tires against industry average across all brands. The treadwear numbers listed below are self-assigned by manufacturers under U.S. Department of Transportation guidelines. The uniform tire quality grade (UTQG) is typically stamped on the side of the tire and refers to the life expectancy. For example, a tire with a UTQG of 400 will last 4 times as long as tires with a UTQG of 100 under normal driving conditions. Treadwear, however, is only one factor to consider when shopping for tires. Also look at the warranties, handling, stopping and starting on wet and dry pavements, and of course other user reviews.
