Touring tires: treadwear and grades
Lines whose NHTSA product name says touring or grand touring.
Method note: this category is inferred only from name markers ("Touring", "Tour") in NHTSA’s product names. It misses lines that don’t say so in the name, and we can’t verify a maker’s category from this data.

FAQ
How do you decide which tires are touring?
Only from the product name NHTSA lists. Lines whose name contains "Touring", "Tour" are included. NHTSA has no tire-type field, so lines without a marker are not classified, and a name marker is the maker's naming choice, not a test result.
What is the typical treadwear grade for touring tires?
The median line grade among the 291 marked lines is 520; all 3,020 rated lines have a median of 420. Treadwear is not mileage.
Which brand has the most touring-marked lines?
Epic Tour (26 lines), then Mohawk (26).
