UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING (UTQG)
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (“UTQG”) standards are intended
to assist you in making an informed choice in your purchase of
passenger car tires by providing information indicating relative
performance in the areas of treadwear, wet stopping traction, and
temperature resistance. All passenger car tires must conform to
federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
• Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire tested under controlled
conditions on a specifi ed government test track. For example,
a tire graded 200 would wear twice as long on the government
course as a tire graded 100. It is wrong to link treadwear grades
with your projected tire mileage. The relative performance of the
tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use and may
vary due to driving habits, service practices, differences in road
characteristics, and climate.
• Traction - The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA,
A, B, and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on
specifi ed government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
The traction grade assigned to tires is based on locked braking
(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering
(turning) traction.
