Uniroyal tiger paw AWP II: what the numbers tell you
The Tiger Paw AWP II's UTQG treadwear rating of 560 puts it in the long-wear class. Its compound is engineered for life over outright grip, which is appropriate for an everyday touring tire. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a all-season tire built for the truck-suv segment, the Tiger Paw AWP II is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
