(1) changed from a "Ultra high performance" to a "Maximum performance tire" which means Mitsu was after an "unsurpassed [as opposed to "outstanding"=Ultra high] blend of wet and dry " traction according to tire rack i.e., better all around summer tire
(2) However, speed rating went down from Y (186mph) to W (168mph) but maintained the same max load rating of 93
(3) UTQG rating (wear rating: lower number means poor wear and vise versa) was elevated from 180AA to 200AA; perhaps little wear difference.
Bottom Line: I do not know how significant the reduction in speed rating is on performance other than at flat out speed the Yoko a13c should be safer than the new Dunlop 600. The tracktion may be better based on classification but the UTQG is going in the wrong direction although slightly. The good news is that the Dunlop costs $123 per tire less than the Yoko a13c. So it appears for normal use the new tires have a better or ,at worst , an equivalent blend of wet and dry traction at a cost reduction of ~$500 for a set of four tires.

Later, Ken
