Affordable UHP value: The Sentury UHP is built for drivers who want ultra-high-performance response, all-season usability, and sport compact or small-crossover confidence without moving into premium tire pricing.
Wet-road control: Circumferential grooves help move water away from the tread area for dependable wet traction and better resistance to hydroplaning in rainy conditions.
Built for sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, and daily-driven performance cars: The 97W XL service description adds extra load capacity for heavier trims, passengers, cargo, and larger wheel packages.
Responsive steering feel: Wide shoulder blocks and a solid center rib help keep the tire in consistent contact with the road for snappy steering response, dry-road grip, and stable handling at commuting and highway speeds.
Performance compound and warranty: The ultra-high-performance compound is designed for high-speed traction, while the 10/32-inch tread depth, UTQG 500/A/A rating, and 40,000-mile warranty add practical value for daily driving.

Customer Reviews
These tires are good. I'm very happy with them and I eventually will buy more once these ones wear out. They ride quiet and go over bumps with no problems or rattling. I wish you guys lived up to your name and actually offer discounts. I own four cars and I only have two cars covered by you guys( tires and warranty wise) I need to buy tires for at lest the third car ( possibly the fourth one too) I want to go with you guys, but, the prices are killing me. I know I buy the economic brands (house brands) but its getting pricey. Do you guys offer a club member price? Not just on the more expensive brands but the house brands too?
I’m so glad they didn’t try to sell me anything over my budget. These are great tires for the price.
Great tire for the value
