Introduced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the USA, the Uniform Tire Grading System (UTQG), is a system for comparing one tyre product to another on the basis of some standardised tests.
Ecsta V720 | Ecsta V730 | |
---|---|---|
Treadwear | 200 | 200 |
Traction (AA - C) | AA | AA |
Temperature Resistance (A - C) | A | A |
As per the UTQG guidelines, the Ecsta V720 tyres have a treadwear rating of 200, whereas the Ecsta V730 tyres have a rating of 200. This means that the Ecsta V720 tyres will theoretically last 1.0 times as long as the Ecsta V730 tyres.
The UTQG system measures traction as straight-line braking in dry conditions. The scale is AA, A, B, C, with AA being the best grade, and C the worst.
As per the, the Ecsta V720 and Ecsta V730 tyres both have a traction grading of AA.
The UTQG temperature resistance tests measure how well tyres can dissipate heat that builds up due to friction with the road. The scale is A, B, C, with A being the highest grade.
As per the UTQG system of tyre grading, the Ecsta V720 and Ecsta V730 tyres both have a temperature resistance grading of A.
Unfortunately, we don't have any warranty information available for either of these tyres.
