What these grades mean in plain English
- Treadwear 60: this is a short-wear, performance-oriented grade. Tires in this range typically trade tread life for grip, and wear fastest in the UTQG scale. 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 A: A (highest): resisted heat build-up through the higher 575 rpm test stage.

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 Visa ADVAN A048?
NHTSA's UTQG data lists a single treadwear grade of 60 for the Visa ADVAN A048, from 8 records. Treadwear is graded in multiples of 20 relative to a government control tire graded 100; it is not a mileage guarantee.
Is the Visa ADVAN A048 treadwear grade high or low?
A grade of 60 is a short-wear, performance-oriented grade. Tires in this range typically trade tread life for grip, and wear fastest in the UTQG scale. Compared with every line in the NHTSA data, the median is higher than 0.3% of lines (dataset median 420). Within Visa it ranks #1 of 1.
What is the cost per mile of the Visa ADVAN A048?
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.
