   Hi,
   Could you give me the specs on this tire from the tire sidewall?
   I need to know the UTQG rating (ie 300 A B or whatever), the max
   inflation pressure, and the max load.
   I have been searching for a reasonably priced tire for some time.
   - David

Traction: A
Temp: B
Threadwear: 320
Load rating: 1594lbs
Max infl pressure: 44psi

They are rather "knobby" and somewhat loud, but so far (15000 miles)
I've been satisfied. Has worn about 1.5mm of total 7mm thread depth
in the 15000 miles)
