7 lip 2022 · UTQG is the abbreviation for the Uniform Tire Quality Grading system created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It measures treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance of a tire in a controlled environment. The UTQG rating can be found on the sidewall of most passenger vehicle tires.
18 lip 2023 · UTQG stands for Uniform Tire Quality Grading, a rating that’s been around for a while. It’s a way to outline 3 tire abilities: treadwear, temperature resistance, and traction. All 3 play a crucial role and will let you know how well a tire should perform in certain conditions and for how long.
23 paź 2023 · UTQG temperature grades can range from A to C. Tires with a rating of A are able to perform at speeds above 115 mph, while B-rated tires are able to perform at speeds between 100-115 mph, and C-rated tires can perform between 85-100 mph.
18 gru 2023 · A good UTQG rating is one that aligns with your driving needs: 600 or higher treadwear score for longevity, AA or A traction for safety in wet conditions, and A temperature rating for heat resistance.
24 lip 2024 · Most ultra-high-performance tires achieve the best grade: AA. Most car tires get the next best grade of A. Designed during the advent of the radial tire, the temperature grade is a measure...
This tire treadwear rating chart is organized by the tire tread type (all season and winter, for example) and the average UTQG treadwear in each category. We’ve also included the lowest UTQG rating in the category and the highest to give you an idea of the range of ratings in every category.
Traction ratings (AA, A, B, or C) indicate a tire’s ability to stop a vehicle on wet pavement. The higher the grade, the better the tire’s stopping ability. While 15% of tires have an AA rating, 75% carry an A rating, and 7% are rated B.
