Not to make too fine a point of it, but there is not a Federal "Standard". There are rating or classifications: A, B, C etc and the tread wear ratings: 240, 320, 600 (gee, I wonder just how those tires feel in the rain).
The point, which I think you agree with, is that it is not easy for the average consumer to make an informed choice. If they are lucky, the tire store will have someone with some experience to assist them.
