The US Department of Transportation set standards for measuring the quality of tires, called Uniform Tire Quality Grade. All manufacturers test and rate their own tires based on temperature, traction and treadwear. When evaluating tires for your vehicle, look at the UTQG scores as well as price, handling and grip, warranties, and user reviews. Treadwear ranges from 100 to 1,000, where the higher the number, the more durable a tire is expected to be under normal driving conditions. Therefore, some tires are not rated, including mud terrain and winter tires. Only Gladiator QR700 all-season tires for SUVs are UTQG rated.
