Default Tire Help!!

When it says Treadwear/Temperature/Traction:360AA Does that mean 360AA has more tread life or more of the tire on the ground compared to a 300AA tire. If that makes any since to you? Thanks for your help!

The major problem with treadwear ratings is that there is no set standard. So a 300 rating for one company could actually be better than a 400 rating for another company. The companies only use their own tires in comparison, so if you are using this to compare different brands of tires, its pretty much useless.
