Information on tire quality grades
According to the requirements of the U.S.
Department of Transportation's "Uniform Tire
Quality Grading Standards" tire manufacturers
must grade their tires using the following three
performance factors:
1
Tread wear grade
2
Traction grade
3
Temperature grade

This grading is not legally prescribed for Can‐
ada, but specified in most cases anyway.
Tread wear grade
The tread wear grade is a comparative grading
based on tread wear grade tests conducted
under controlled conditions on a specified U.S.
Department of Transportation test track. For
example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and
one-half times as well on the government test
track as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon
the actual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and climate
conditions.
