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.
NS-20 | NS-25 | |
---|---|---|
Treadwear | 240 | 500 |
Traction (AA - C) | AA | A |
Temperature Resistance (A - C) | A | A |
As per the UTQG guidelines, the NS-20 tyres have a treadwear rating of 240, whereas the NS-25 tyres have a rating of 500. This means that the NS-20 tyres will theoretically last only 48% as long as the NS-25 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 UTQG system, the NS-20 tyres have a traction resistance grading of AA, whereas the NS-25 tyres have a grading of A.
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 NS-20 and NS-25 tyres both have a temperature resistance grading of A.
Unfortunately, we don't have any warranty information available for either of these tyres.
