I just bought Sigma Supreme TR's for my car, and the treadwear is 440 and Traction is A. What does this all mean and is this good? These are the tires they suggested for my car, it is hard to find the size of my tire in many brands. I should of asked there, but well I'm a girl!

440 is good, A traction is good, C temp leaves a little bit to be desired. Check out the goverments' opinion

A treadwear of 440 is in the lower mid range of tire wear specs.
I don't know what the traction "A" means, but I guess it indicates good traction.
I suggest you do a search for "tire wear ratings" and "tire traction ratings" on the Internet. You will probable get all the answers you are looking for and probably more than you need. But hey, go for it,
