UTQG Rating
UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grading) is a US Department of Transportation system that rates tyres on treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. Although not a legal requirement in the UK, many tyres sold here carry UTQG ratings. The system provides a useful baseline for comparing tyre longevity and performance across different brands and models.
