What these grades mean in plain English
- Treadwear 420: this is an above-average treadwear grade, typical of many touring and all-season tires. Under UTQG a grade of 200 should wear twice as long as the grade-100 control tire on NHTSA's test course; real-world mileage varies with driving, rotation, alignment and climate.
- Traction A: A: second-highest wet-braking grade. Traction is straight-ahead wet braking only; it does not measure cornering or hydroplaning.
- Temperature B: B: passed the 500 rpm stage but not the 575 rpm stage.
- Ranked just above in Cyclone: Radial GT (median 440).
- Ranked just below in Cyclone: Radial SUV (median 400).

Cost-per-mile calculator
Price and mileage data are pending a licensed feed, so nothing is pre-filled. Enter your own quote and your own mileage expectation (for example the maker's treadwear warranty from the tire's paperwork). Formula: cost per 1,000 miles = price per set ÷ (expected miles ÷ 1,000).

FAQ
What is the treadwear rating of the Cyclone Touring A/S?
NHTSA's UTQG data lists treadwear grades from 400 to 440 (median 420) for the Cyclone Touring A/S, from 18 records. Treadwear is graded in multiples of 20 relative to a government control tire graded 100; it is not a mileage guarantee.
Is the Cyclone Touring A/S treadwear grade high or low?
A grade of 420 is an above-average treadwear grade, typical of many touring and all-season tires. Compared with every line in the NHTSA data, the median is higher than 50% of lines (dataset median 420). Within Cyclone it ranks #5 of 7.
What is the cost per mile of the Cyclone Touring A/S?
We do not have a licensed price or warranty-mileage feed yet, so we do not state a cost per mile. Use the formula cost per 1,000 miles = price per set ÷ (expected miles ÷ 1,000) with your own quote and mileage expectation, or the calculator on this page.
