What does UTQG means? I need new tires too. I just want a good tire for a good price.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading. Here's a better eplanation for it. Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG)
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading is a labeling system required by the federal government. All tires sold in the United States must be graded and labeled with information on treadwear, temperature (resistance to heat buildup) and traction. These ratings are intended to help consumers more easily compare tires. Tires sold in the United States must be examined through a series of tests defined by the government and conducted by the manufacturer. Manufacturers are then responsible for assigning ratings to their products.
