That's nice to know since I have four of them on the way. I didn't notice that the traction rating was lower. Interesting that did not show up in the testing done against other tires (Yoko ES100, BFG g-Force, Avon Tech M500). Maybe it just barely missed AA.
By the way... the treadwear thing can be deceiving. Treadwear ratings do not have a common base. That is, they are given as a percentage of miles traveled by a baseline tire. Thus, a 320 means it went 3.2 times as far as the baseline tire. However, the problem is that every manufacturer uses a different baseline tire, so comparing treadwear between manufacturers is comparing apples to oranges (I'm not sure if this applies to Bridgestone and Fuzion since they have the same parent company).
It's kind of confusing, but is it any worse than the tire size scheme? (millimeters/percent-inches)
