The UTQG rating is a standardized system established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to gauge and compare the treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance of tires. UTQG stands for Uniform Tire Quality Grading. The treadwear rating, which reflects the tires anticipated lifespan based on its wear relative to a control tire, is a key aspect of this rating system. The higher the number, the longer the expected tread life.
