Yokohama vs Pirelli

Yokohama offers tires ranging from $50 to $250, with options for Passenger, Performance, SUV/Truck, and Winter tires. Their UTQG rating range is 400-700. Pirelli offers similar options with a price range of $70 to $400 and the same types of tires available. Both brands utilize the UTQG rating system, which measures and compares treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. This rating system was developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and provides a standardized way to evaluate tire performance. The treadwear rating specifically predicts the tires expected lifespan compared to a control tire, with higher numbers indicating a longer expected tread life.
