The UTQG rating is a standardized system created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to measure and compare the treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance of tires. The treadwear rating is an important component of this system, indicating the expected lifespan of the tire based on its wear compared to a control tire. The higher the treadwear rating, the longer the expected lifespan of the tire.
