General Tires vs Continental

General Tires offers a range of prices for their products, ranging from $50 to $250. They provide a variety of tire types including Passenger, Performance, SUV/Truck, and Winter options that have a UTQG rating range of 400-600. Continental, on the other hand, offers a price range of $70-$400 for their tires, including the same tire types as General Tires, with a UTQG rating range of 400-700. The UTQG rating is a standardized system developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that measures and compares tire treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. The treadwear rating informs consumers of the expected lifespan of a tire based on its wear compared to a control tire. The higher the rating, the longer the expected tread life.
