Cooper Tires vs Michelin

Cooper Tires offers tires ranging from $50 to $250 and includes Passenger, Performance, SUV/Truck, and Winter tires with a UTQG rating range of 400-700. Similarly, Michelin offers tires ranging from $100 to $400, including Passenger, Performance, SUV/Truck, and Winter tires with a UTQG rating range of 500-800. The UTQG rating is a standardized system developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) used to measure and compare the treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance of tires. The treadwear rating predicts the tires expected lifespan compared to a control tire, with a higher number indicating a longer expected tread life.
