Tire Treadwear Rating Explainer | UTQG Longevity
Understand what a tire's UTQG treadwear rating (e.g., 200, 400, 600) signifies about its expected lifespan relative to a reference tire. Interactive explainer.
The Treadwear rating, part of the UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grade) system, is a comparative number indicating a tire's expected wear life relative to a standard reference tire rated at 100. A higher number generally suggests a longer potential lifespan, but actual mileage can vary significantly based on driving habits, road conditions, climate, and tire care. This tool helps you understand what a specific treadwear number implies.
- Locate the Treadwear rating on your tire's sidewall. It's a number usually following the word 'TREADWEAR'.
- Enter this number (e.g., 200, 400, 600) into the 'Treadwear Rating' field.
- Click 'Explain Rating' or the explanation will update automatically if you have already submitted once and the input is valid.
- The results will provide a general explanation and specific commentary on the entered treadwear value.
