- Sorry if this question is in FAQ (I coudln't find my copy of it).
-
- I replaced four new tires for my Chevy Impala. I remembered that the garage
- people told me the tires are rated "traction--A; temperature--A". I just found
- that on the side of tire, it shows "traction--A; temperature--B", I asked the
- garage. They said it's rare that passenger car use both rating A tires (high
- oerformance tires); which means the tire I have now is good enough. (and it
- shows "threadwear--420", is that good ?) It's 205/75R from General, and costs
- $60 each (not including balancing). Is the price reasonable ?
-
- Thank you !!
